iwz by iwz · May 15, 2001 · News · 39 views

On May 4th, a student in New Jersey received a 10-day suspension after hacking into the school's computer system, and hours later, hung himself in his home. He left a note saying that he would rather die than go to jail. The Times has the story, and you may also want to read through some of the comments posted on Slashdot's coverage of the story.

what can i say....wow, what a sick story. This world is so messed up and gets worse each day. when i read

this i felt like crying. this kida had so much life ahead of him...not to mention so much talent and so

much going for him....i feel so badly for his parents...just imagine picking up your child from school..for

something so stupid, dropping him/her off and coming home discovering your child had hung himself.

i had a friend that came home from College to visit his family...he was so smart and such a Great athlete

he came home when everyone was at work except his dad, and when his dad left to get some food...he

came back to find Alex face down on the floor....dead..he had commited suicide by shooting himself with

a shot gun in the head. his death git so many of us so hard it was so unexpected. But that's the main point

you never know who will do it....the facts show it..."From 1987 to 1997 sucide among young ones has gone

UP 109%!!!!!!!!"

Sorry if this is such a long comment but i had to say something. . . .
