I was saddened to hear that a teenager that suffered from bi-polar disorder committed suicide, while broadcasting it over webcam onto the live website called Justin.tv.  From what I understand, hundreds of people watched him take an overdose of prescription medicine and lie down on his bed.  It was not until someone noticed that he stopped breathing that authorities were killed – all of the viewers thought it was a joke!  How sad is that?  I would have hoped that someone would have called the authorities the minute he put the pills in his mouth.  Society seems to be really sliding downhill fast!
