Indeed, welcome to 2001.
Still, havin\' read the chat transcript I don\'t think this was a case of a teenager suffering from depression, but more of a teenager trying to show off in a chat room and be cool and guess what? It ended up killing him.
I like this part of the article the most.
The tech whiz\'s computer had shut down and locked itself automatically, so it wasn\'t until more than a week later that the family found out his death had had witnesses.
The kid sets his computer to shut down and have a password and all of a sudden he is proclaimed a "tech whiz"? Give me a break. If anything, this was just used to make me think the kid had some bright future in the computer field.
