CMV: The news should never be allowed to report on suicide, because they are responsible for the copycat suicide contagion

Hi. I'm sad. I just found out a 15 year old kid from my country killed himself by jumping in front of a train. He was being bullied at his school for 8 months. He told his parents, teachers, counsellors, school principal, friends, everyone. He was still being bullied. All of those people watched him kill himself in front of the train and then they allowed his death to become a topic of conversation for the whole country. Bystanders pulled out their phones and recorded it. The news is now interviewing his parents. It's disgusting.<br><br>I think the news should never be allowed to report on suicide, because they are responsible for the copycat suicide contagion, and they exploit the grieving families and make them relive the tragedy over and over and over and over and over again.<br><br>&#x200B;<br><br>Edit: Oh hey, thanks for the awards. I appreciate it, but if you want to help then please give it to the post itself, not this comment, because I don't deserve any awards. I feel bad even accepting them and I hope you do too.<br><br>Edit #2: I was going to delete this comment but I think I'm going to leave it here instead. I don't know if it's against the rules to ask for awards, but I feel I've broken that rule and I want to acknowledge it. I just don't want any of you to do what I did because I don't want you to feel bad. If you feel bad for getting an award, accept that you broke the rules and move on.
