This is upsetting and totally unjust and quite honestly heart breaking wow rip to this poor soul.

That's the stupidest reason to kys over. I see people everyday who have a legit reason to kill themselves but this is really stupid. Im not saying killing yourself is just, im just trying to make a point.

"legit reason to kill themselves" their shouldn't be a reason to kill yourself, yes times can be tough, but theirs so much ahead of you, and if you see these people why don't you do something to change that?

Mother probably feels like shit, can't believe how sad the guardians are. But its even sadder to see your child commit suicide because he can't play a video game.

He obviously had a mental illness from the start if he killed himself over a video game. Sure it's a means for escapism, but does it really justify ending your own life over?

That's an awful way to die. It's sad and he probably did have something mentally wrong with him. RIP

100% agree with this. Video games do help with coping though, i'm saying that because I've experienced it.
Such a shame though. The poor family,

Just did my isearch for school and my topic was video game violence affecting behavior and their were many correlations between the two according to my research.

Wow this is seriously messed up. Hope the mother doesn't blame herself.

 

[Wagers]

This is rather sad, however, it's practically today's society all in one thread. I do agree with @Jukebox, though. Video Games are a lot of people's hobby, and they do help with coping.

Maybe he thought he was playing AW and had an exoskeleton

I feel sorry for the kid, but I do believe better parenting should be involved. Limit the gaming your kid does at a younger age, so it does not consume them.

Granted he could of done it regardless, but that's my input on this subject.
