From what I can infer from the story, did this perchance happen in the U.K. (the actual location of the suicide, not the entire online debacle, where it was "present").
This really strikes a nerve with me that perhaps The Digital Age is a revert in terms of societal welfare.
I mean, I doubt most of us take the time to assess what happens beyond our residence, work, school, let alone outside our countries to realize that our world is a bitter and cold reality filled with unseen tragedies and unheard cries of anguish.
I for one, hate living in such a harsh and cruel associational society where the only place one can feel secure to speak up is on a faceless buzzing marvel of technology.
I would advocate going out and relating yourself to any and all those around you, but that would be hoping for something that is far and away a possibility.
Just take away from such a travesty of a story that we need to remember that we are not alone in this world, and that there are actual human beings that live among us with real emotions that can sometimes falter if not appreciated.

I just remembered what I forgot to post:
There is a song by OutKast from their album
Aquemini that perfectly conveys the above-mentioned notions of how our society can morph into something so grotesque. Anyway, it's called
Synthesizer and can really put some perspective on one's life!
