And here I am thinking I would give Naruto a chance.

That idiot, [spoiler] he gets edo tensei'd back to the living!!! [/spoiler] :(

And another teen is gone.. really? Over Naruto?

Well that's just a waste of life. Hate to see it.

Sorry, I don't think there's any way to defend this kid.

Russia is infamous for its teen suicide rate apparently.

But this kid's reasoning is beyond stupid. :?

Reminds me a story a long time ago about a kid who died trying to be like Gaara and burying himself in the sand.

Im sure there is more to it than this story.

One does not end his life because he simply saw a cartoon!

Well then...

(crickets)

Are you sure thats the reason he killed himself? Just because someone commits suicideafter something happens doesn't mean it's the sole cause of why they did it.

Sad

The character's death may have been the trigger, but I get the feeling that other reasons may have compelled this boy to kill himself.

Guys, it's not his fault! Stop blaming him, he's obviously a victim of outside forces.

:lol: FAIL!

Honestly, I can't feel sad about this.

Mental illness is often out of the control of the one who suffers it. Is it fair to blame someone for the circumstances of their birth?

Why do i get the feeling the default position on OT is one of condemnation?

pretty rad.Allicrombie

He probably had some other issues.

There should be some sort of a musical tune playing along each time I read yet another suicidal kid thread.

With tuba as a primary organ.

Ah. First youtube result, best youtube result.

He must have. I don't anyone could waste their own life over something so meaningless.

No sympathy. Jiraiyas death was even worse than Itachi`s.

And another teen is gone.. really? Over Naruto?
