Teen commits suicide over Itachi.

For reals.

Quote:

A 14-year-old boy leapt more than 100ft to his death from the top of an apartment block in Chaikovsky, Russia, after seeing his favourite manga character killed in a cartoon.
Police say Leonid Hmelev died instantly.
The boy was reportedly devastated after seeing the death of the character Itachi Uchiha in the animated movie 'Naruto - Hurricane Chronicle'.
He left home after posting a message on a social networking site saying he was also 'planning an ending'.
His worried parents raised the alarm after he did not return home and a search was organised together with neighbours.
After being missing for two days his body was found yesterday and he was identified by his devastated father Ivan, 38.
He said: 'I always told him he spent too much time watching the TV - he didn't know what was reality and what was fiction anymore.'
Teenage suicide in Russia is endemic. It has the third-highest teenage suicide rate in the world, just behind its neighbours Belarus and Kazakhstan and more than three times that of the United States.

Tragic as it may be, I put this at the same level as the kid that was smothered to death because his friend was pretending to be Gaara and buried him in the sand on my "give a shit" meter.

Perhaps this explains the suicide forest in Japan.

Fucking retards.

For the family, a tragic and inexplicable event has occurred.
For the community, a tragedy which will create questions of the ills that are driving teenagers to such acts.
For Russia, another statistic to use in developing a response (or lack thereof) to social issues.
For humanity, strengthening of the genetic pool.

It's all a matter of where you stand.

poor kid shuda stayed awhile and he could of seen Itachi whip Kabuto's ass.

You know you're f'ed up when you even remotely think of taking your life after witnessing a fictional character die.

ACt said it best.

emachina · 11-07-2012, 11:08 AM

If it had been over the Tobito reveal, I would've been able to understand.

Poor bastard!! Should have read the manga or waited a couple years and he would have known itachi came back after dying in the sasuke fight... then basically soloed dragon sage kabuto and had the greatest death of any other character in the story despite already being dead...

This is what happens when you jump to conclusions about itachi... the guy would not die such a fail death against sasuke....

jeanericuser · 11-07-2012, 01:13 PM

And that ladies and gents is why you never make major decisions while being wasted. At least now he can enjoy a new unlife of haunting people for fun.

Konnaha_yellow_flash · 11-07-2012, 01:19 PM

I do not blame him... If I lived in the dark, dank, dreary P.O.S. that is Russia I think I would live vicariously through an anime character too... and if that character died and I had no one left to live through, having to face the reality that I am a teen in Russia with nothing better to do then to jump off buildings... I understand... Russia sucks ass clusters so it is not exactly a surprise....

I thought this thread was in World News section but whatever...

While the act itself is saddening and its reasoning demonstrates lack of presence of mind, I'm curious about the statistics of ex-soviet nations leading the suicide rates. Perhaps there's a cultural tangent that makes people more prone to such acts than what should be the standard.

@ KYF: How's 1955 on your end? Joseph Stalin still inspiring the Red Scare, McDonalds is a brand new food chain, "In the Wee Small Hours of the Mourning" is playing on the radio, there's still white and nigger bathrooms, must be awesome there.

Oh, wait, you're in 1915 where Einsteinian Physics still don't exist. My bad.
