Findings #1

Is social networking and texting causing an increase in suicide? Statistics say that young teens who send over 120 texts a day are in higher risk for suicidal attempts. (Bramhill, Nick. "DISCUS." N.p., n.d. Web. 22 Nov 2010. <DISCUS.com>. ) People can have two personalities having a social network or phone to hide their identity. They can start uneccessary drama to other teens, leadin them to depression and feeling as if there is nowhere to turn because their ability to interact with their parents decrease, which leads to suicide. A young college student who attended Rutgers University recently killed himself because of a video that was posted up on Youtube with the young man and his boyfriend together. That is a perfect example of how the smallest act of posting something online can lead to a dramatic effect, resulting with a life taken.
