Mom: MySpace Hoax Led to Daughter's Suicide

[DrWahoo]

As someone whose family has a history with depression, I found this story so sad.

DARDENNE PRAIRIE, Mo. — Megan Meier thought she had made a new friend in cyberspace when a cute teenage boy named Josh contacted her on MySpace and began exchanging messages with her. Megan, a 13-year-old who suffered from depression and attention deficit disorder, corresponded with Josh for more than a month before he abruptly ended their friendship, telling her he had heard she was cruel.

This scares the crap out of me. It is just so easy for young ones to find themselves in situations they are so not prepared to handle with out extenuating circumstances.
