Who needs friends?

I came across a newspaper article this week reporting that a woman had committed suicide after posting a message on Facebook informing her 1000 ‘friends’ that she had taken her pills and ‘would be dead soon bye bye everyone.’ Apparently, some of her friends had mocked her, even calling her a liar. Not a single person out of the 1000 friends on her account reported the message.

I cannot imagine, yet comprehend how anyone who was suppose to be her friend could have allowed this to happen. I have 156 friends on my Facebook account. I hope that at least one of them is looking out for me…
