RIP, tragic.

Is it just me or do Khmers take (perhaps justified) verbal reprimands too hard?

The $80 that he used to buy the phone is the issue, probably. Did he steal the rice money ? It can be hard to be poor when all your mates are on FB.

Only 15. So sad, and so stupid.

Yeah, I agree, it was probably their income for the month, but to kill himself, tragic.

I used to be a Myspace freak, but the Khmer youths and alike taking this Facebook thing to the extreme; and I am talking in general.

I dont care what you had for breakfast this morning, and I dont care you sharing me how sad you are just because you didnt get along with your friends the previous day.

I do agree that many tend to he overly dramatic. I blame it on those damn music videos...

Like when Mitchell Henderson shot himself in the head with his father's gun over his lost iPod. Too many Asian dramas I say.
