Internet Suicide

Internet suicide is becoming a big concern for many people today because using the Internet makes it a lot easier to commit suicide. All you need to do is search "how to commit suicide" into a search engine on the Internet and many different ways come up. There have been many suicide incidents where someone has committed suicide on their web cam as viewers watched.  Another way the Internet can be influential towards suicide is the types of music that teenagers download and hear on websites can persuade someone to kill themselves. Heavy Metal Music is known for acting as promoter of suicide among vulnerable adolescents and there are many websites that play music that have lyrics with suicidal tendencies that put the idea of suicide in teenager's heads. There are also websites on the Internet that glamorize suicide and make it seem like a joke. This could make it hard for teens to distinguish between a joke and what is real and therefore these sites should not be up and running on the Internet. I think it is important for teachers and parents to monitor what there students and children do on the Internet. As well, teachers need to help their students differentiate between an informative website on suicide and a negative ones such as the sites that glamorize it.
