Myspace hoax leads to a suicide

People can be mean sometimes.

Apparently, some people created a fake myspace account and contacted a young woman, who was prone to depression. The young woman apparently befriended the person, who eventually told her she was a bad person, and this was enough for her to commit suicide.

It's amazing a) how cruel people can be and b) how easily people will throw their lives away in this country sometimes.

It's kind of bizarre, because there was an adult in on this hoax, doing this to the young woman.
