It's ridiculous that people can blame it on technology. If a teenage girl wants to hang herself because a boy she likes who she NEVER met isn't real, there's obviously some other problems going on there that her Parents/Family should have taken care of before hand. The people who do it are sick don't get me wrong, but they can't be blamed for the suicide of a person they have never met. How cant someone you've never seen in person have that much influence?
