Question

Answer 1

How can they say its not linked! 17 people don't just randomly hang themselves.

Answer 2

What gets me is the police have said they are not linked

- victems all lined

- all in their teens

- same method

HOW BLODDY STUPID CAN YOU GET - MAKES WIGGEM OF THE SIMPSON'S LOOK LIKE SHERLOCK HOLMES

Answer 3

Could it be lack of sunlight which causes depression?

Could they be following some cult which is influencing young people?

Are they on some sort of prescribe or other form of drugs?

Or is there some kind mystical thing going on. Other cultures believe that is the case. Maybe the west is unaware and maybe at this stage science can not understand it or detect.

Answer 4

well it seems like they are inter connected some kind of way.

Answer 5

There is a link

However there is nothing to investigate

Theres over 130,000 people who live in bridgend and the national average suicide rate in Wales

5 per 500,000. So its well above average.

There is a few instances of where A few of them know each other and thus I believe have given each other the same idea. If a person is already down and they know other people who have took there own lives it will add to there own grief, make them feel worse and it seems more likely that they themselves may consider doing something where as otherwise they wouldn't of.

So in conclusion yes theres a link a few of them know each other plus with heightened media attention all adolescents who are depressed in the area are aware and now it might seem like a good alternative than suffering in mental anguish.

There will be other factors involved other than a few of them knowing each other,

you would have to take into account poverty, poor housing etc.

Bridgend is just an hot spot at the moment and I believe there is nothing extremely sinister at work..except maybe two or three of them have co hearsed each other. Its currently not the place to move to if you have children :-)

They may of used social networking sites but they must of all ready knew each other anyway from school/college etc. however I don't believe all of them did and I don't think it is an important factor as the rates would be more widespread...than just in bridgend.

Answer 6

Bridgend is a h**l-hole in the bigger h**l-hole that is South Wales.  Depressed impressionable kids + influential internet = bad news.

Answer 7

its so sad that these children are killing them selves there suppose to be our future and if it carries on there wont be a future my thoughts are with the poor parents

Answer 8

How can the police say the deaths are not linked? This is so creepy.

Answer 9

The police and that stupid MP who said there is no link are buffoons and should be sacked.

They live in the same town.

They are all young.

Many of them knew each other through Bebo or facebook.

Surely these are all links

Answer 10

Something ain't right,I wonder if they have been hypnotised by some lunatic?

Answer 11

wouldent you like to know

Answer 12

Very sad and strange.

Must be a connection.

Answer 13

I really can't believe the police as dismissing reports of a link and a suicide pact

It's so bloody obvious whats going on

Answer 14

Of course theyre linked. Whats wrong with the police?

Answer 15

oh my god that is so sad, what is going on there the children need help, the police cant ignore it any longer

Answer 16

It reminds me of an old detective program (either Morse or taggart) when all the kids went round killing themselves. that was because of a drug, the ultimate high. they felt so sad afterwards that they killed themselves.

they have not given out a cause of death yet, but if it is linked then they need to do some serious investigating

Answer 17

its so sad these kids feel they have to do that

Answer 19

Theyre not linked. Nothing to see here people. Move along.

Yeah right.

Answer 20

Investigators will eventually piece together what is happening. It is one of three things: Coincidence, cult activity, or copy-cat syndrome.

Answer 21

I agree with cookie how can they keep saying there not linked.They all seem to have known each other.
