A young teenager kills herself after her online boyfriend turns on her. But the boyfriend wasn't real; rather he was the product of the parents of a girl the suicide used to be friends with.

As I said in the comments on [livejournal.com profile] karnythia's journal, this has me close to tears because it confirms every terrible thing I've ever thought about childhood, parents and popularity.

What also pisses me the hell off is the people on the comment threads in various places this story has been posted/linked to who are trying to use this murder to make a stupid political point about how anti-depressants kill children. Um...

And the people saying "remember her as more than just a person with depression" annoy me, too. To me that's like saying, "remember her as more than someone who had blue eyes." Yes, depression isn't the totality of a person but it should never be written off as irrelevant like that.
