proof??????
I heard of this aswell, my friend called google told me this http://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk...lt-774532.html
Couldn't find it on google,
Thanks Falc
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
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?Quote:

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

Because social network sites make people commit suicide :rolleyes:
Nicely said. I agreeQuote:

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

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.
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]
I don't use bebo and tbh I can see why some people hate it.
It's probably because of people leaving horrible messages and exploiting people and makeing hate groups.
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.Quote:

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

If yes then I don't take anything of my statement back.
They have said that some of them may have killed themselves to have a memory page made on bebo.
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:(Quote:

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.Quote:

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
are we supposed to forward this to 15 people in 2 minutes? argh.
I hope it shuts down. I hate bebo.
I hope it aint, coz everyone will go to myspace nd myspace is confusing :(
XX
