Statistics regarding suicide generally show women choose nonviolent methods. Without this board, it's unlikely the girl would have found a nonviolent method that proved to be so successful. Generally speaking, women choose nonviolent methods because of a subconcious desire to not be successful--meaning, they're making a cry for help.
However, people make choices. While it saddens me that others would encourage someone to take their own life, when it comes down to it, people make up their own minds. Information is just that--information. Influence, however, is another thing entirely, and I hope that's not what happened here.
