[Falcon]

I heard of this aswell, my friend called google told me this http://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/this-britain/bridgend-deaths-police-warn-of-bebo-internet-suicide-cult-774532.html

[theJOSH]

Couldn't find it on google,
Thanks Falc

[Dan2nd]

Wow.. maybe myspace and facebook could follow *screams like a girl* At least I'll get no more e-mails saying 'Join Bob on bebo' :D

[--ss--]

People suicide over things like schools but we don't see them shutting down? :rolleyes:

Schools are compulsary, and thousands of pounds of government funding goes into them, really think those tight MPs, would allow their money to go to waste?

[Muniflex]

I hope it doesn't.

I use bebo regularly.

It's the taxpayers' money. :P I'd be surprised if Bebo did completely cease to exist.

[Falcon]

Bebo won't close, it's their choice to take their lifes even if it was over bebo that made them do it. They can't prove that bebo caused them to take their ifes as they're dead.

[Virgin Mary]

Because social network sites make people commit suicide :rolleyes:

[Fifteen]

Nicely said. I agree

[GommeInc]

I doubt it, there is no real evidence that Bebo physically went up to the children and stabbed them, or told them to kill themselves.

[risque]

That's like saying Jesus was killed to let all of us live.

[superfly-dan]

What a ridiculous accusation to make. This is similar to when Marilyn Manson was blamed for the Columbine shootings... What the hell does Bebo have to do with people commiting suicide?

[jesus]

they wont close, its like saying 'someone who played habbo killed themselves so lets close habbo down'

whats that gonna achieve?

[Boonzeet]

they wont close, its like saying 'someone who played habbo killed themselves so lets close habbo down'

whats that gonna achieve?

It'll make sure no one dies over habbo and moves onto something else to die over

So yeah, nothing.

[Charlie]

I doubt they will close it down, because it's not like the people who own Bebo said to these people "Go and kill yourself". If the people are all in the same area, then obviously they had to know each other personally in some way and that's how this sucide pact crap formed, so Bebo has nothing to do it with it.

Like people have said, it's like "person a & b commited sucide and just so happened to be members of site a, so let's shut it down". They have no proof that the site has anything to do with the sucides besides the fact that they were probably members of it.

[Fart]

Its closing because of what happened in bridgend where i live :(
Apparntly people from bridgend are being banned.
I know 3 of the people who comitted suicide
Tasha, Clarky and tom

[EDIT: http://messonyou.bebo.com Is my bebo profile look around and you will find info about it, Click the rip tasha page]

[Shrlurp]

I don't use bebo and tbh I can see why some people hate it.

[Frisky]

It's probably because of people leaving horrible messages and exploiting people and makeing hate groups.

[Fart]

Well someone on Liam clarks bebo rip page made an account called "The grimreaper" and left a message on liams bebo saying "hows it hanging" "hows the neck" "your family is next" It was so horrible so we deleted it.

[jesus]

It'll make sure no one dies over habbo and moves onto something else to die over

So yeah, nothing.what i meant was they didnt die BECAUSE of it, you dont kill yourself because of a website!

[Virgin Mary]

So if people make a pact to die in real life that means God should shut down real life?

[Jamesy]

pfft if they are sad enough to commit suicide of something as ridiculously over rated as bebo then they deserve to die.

[Fart]

yeh your kind of talking about my mates there you ******* ****

[Moh]

If your getting cyber bullied, then just simply leave the site, also people know the risk of posting personal infomation.

[Jamesy]

yeh your kind of talking about my mates there you ******* ****

asterisks make me so insulted.

if they aren't acting like a bunch of attention seeking morons saying they are goint to kill themselves then I'm not talking about them.

If yes then I don't take anything of my statement back.

[Geraint]

They have said that some of them may have killed themselves to have a memory page made on bebo.

[Fart]

Right heres to prove its not bebo:

First boy killed himself due to family problems as he left home
secound killed himself because of his mate killing himself
Tom davies: killed himself 2 days before the secound person funerial as he bought the suit and missed the first boys funerial and was determind to go to 2nd but couldnt handle it as it was his best mates

Didnt know the 4th person

Zack killed himself because of family issues

Liam did because of his father

And no one knows about tasha :(

So cant really blame it on bebo as Liam, zack and i dont know about the first 3 never had bebo

Shes propper pretty aswell:(

[Awfy]

I don't think you're getting the point, I think the story is trying to say they used Bebo to plan/talk about what they were going to do. They never committed suicide over the site itself. Still that is no reason to close Bebo, especially since people use Bebo to also show respect and love towards those who have passed. A work college of my Step Dad's passed away a couple of months ago and people still use the RIP bebo account to leave their respects. As not everyone can travel up to see him. I do agree that it could of been stopped by people reporting the content to Bebo, however that does mean it's still not the fault of Bebo.

Although, I always have said and will never change my views that suicide is the most selfish thing a person can do. They end their troubles but simply pass them onto others who loved them and this is a perfect example.

if you know 'hot evidence' regarding the case you should really tell the police.

[Azul]

If morons like that want to kill themselves let them, the more the merrier. But don't spoil it for everyone else who are sane and aren't into suicide 'cults'.

Gossip is going around, (Can't find links sorry)

(think this is the right topic o.O)

look i live in bridgend its nt tht bad seriously
it gets borin every now n again but i no that bebo is not related to it

they had bebo it has nothing to do with suicides and its not a trend they 1 person did it cz something was rong then his mate did it cz they were gd m8s and then his m8 and so on

n if u read wa the telegraph said they make it look like the ruffest n worst place in world

[theJOSH]

I knew Tasha.
& Totaled, seriously, You obviously did not know about them,
until you saw them on the news, and I'm in Bridgend alot,
and no they don't make it out to be the roughest place :S

[Ekalb]

are we supposed to forward this to 15 people in 2 minutes? argh.

[Swearwolf]

I hope it shuts down. I hate bebo.

[Ugawa]

I hope it aint, coz everyone will go to myspace nd myspace is confusing :(

XX

[jesus]

I hope it aint, coz everyone will go to myspace nd myspace is confusing :(

XXits not, its excellent! bebo is for chavs :P

[theJOSH]

its not, its excellent! bebo is for chavs :P

Yeah. Chavs can't run Myspace as they're too stupid :)

[Decapitated!]

it's so pathetic that they call it a cult, there isnt a suicide group "OMGZ ALL HANG YOURSELF NOW!!"11!"


it's stupid

[awelsh]

pfft if they are sad enough to commit suicide of something as ridiculously over rated as bebo then they deserve to die.

you know how offensive and rude that is?

none of them people deserved to die.

as adam said earlier, the deaths were not to do with bebo, they were becuase of family and other issues.

I dont know much about the latest 2 deaths, but Nathaniel seemed to be pretty well liked.

I lived in bridgend with them lot back 3-4 years ago, everyone there is a good laugh and the place aint that bad at all.

All these suicides are happening becuase they were all good mates with eachother, hopefully it will come to an end soon becuase its just ******* more and more people up there
