Schoolboy found dead after leaving Facebook message saying life was ‘pathetic’
14th April 2010
Ross Langmead, 18, was described by friends as “very bright” – and planned to go to medical school later this year to study to become a doctor.
Ever notice how kids who do away with themselves are always talented and well-liked, if not actual over-achievers, with a bright future ahead of them, etc., etc.?
Ever wonder why we never read stories about suicide by antisocial losers from the left side of the bell curve without whom society is really much better off?
Don’t mean to come across as cold-hearted or anything, but I suspect that, from an evolutionary point of view, oversensitivity to teen angst tends to be a self-correcting problem.
