there might have been many factors that went into the girl wanting to end her life, but the fact is a month of 3 died, child injured with broken ribs etc including possible permenant damage to her vision. the father and all 3 children are going to have it hard on so many levels for the rest of their lives because some stupid girl decided to do the most selfish thing, try to take her own life and endanger others without caring.
I think it is a bit unrealistic to expect suicidal people to factor in the health of other people when making their suicide attempt. The psychological studies show that many suicidal people aren't thinking clearly or rationally - they have 'tunnel vision' (they are completely focused on the bad things they see as making life unbearable, to the exclusion of all other things) and are very inflexible (have lost the capacity to see alternative options to suicide). It probably didn't even occur to this girl that other people might die. Also, due to the flamboyant nature of her suicide attempt, you'd have to wonder if this girl has borderline personality disorder or other mental issues (apart from just depression). Finally, we as a society don't give suicidal people options (in terms of methods of killing themselves) so you can't really complain when suicidal people fvck up and end up hurting others or themselves with a botched attempt.

Prosecutors say Louise Egan Brunstad, a student at Holy Innocents' Episcopal School in Sandy Springs, had recently tried to initiate a relationship with another female student, who rebuffed her advances.
This makes me wonder if there is some correlation between religious schooling and tendency towards homosexuality. I see nothing wrong with being religious or being gay/lesbian; I just wonder if there is some underlying factor here that increases the chances of or attracts homosexuals.

Ah, but who's to decide who is truly intelligent and civilized? Some might argue that Mr. T. or Paris Hilton are intelligent and civilized enough to run society. I'm not sure who, but there is someone out there who would put them in charge.
Paris on the other hand......

I must admit I was trolling with that first comment, my more serious comments are later in the thread. Yes, the actions of this teenage girl were selfish and thoughtless. I'm just not sure what charging her with murder is going to achieve for anyone.

The Episcopal church welcomes homosexuals - they are ordained ministers in the church and everything. So I'm not sure what you're getting at, but the Episcopal church probably doesn't fit the mold you have in mind.
