FaceBook Suicide Note and Not One Person Lifts a Finger...

Simone Back's last message was posted on Christmas Day.
At 10:53pm she posted: 'Took all my pills be dead soon bye bye everyone.'
11.01pm Friend 1: 'She ODs all the time and she lies.'
11.02pm Friend 2: 'I hope that she is lying about this or you're going to feel guilty tomorrow.'
Boxing Day, 12.09am Friend 3: 'Did you catch the part about Simone taking pills?? .. the 'bye bye' part?? Did anyone go by personally and check on Simone.. or call 999?? what's wrong with you people?? is the gossip really more important than her??'
12.56am Friend 1: 'She does it all the time, takes all of her pills. She's not a kid anymore.'
12.01pm Friend 4: 'She has a choice and taking pills over a relationship is not a good enough reason.'
Miss Back's mother Jennifer Langridge later posted on her daughter's Facebook page: 'My daughter Simone passed away today so please leave her alone now.'


1082 friends and not one lifts a finger to do a thing.

Simone Back, 42, posted a suicide note on a social networking site on Christmas Day. Her 1082 friends decided it was more important to argue with each other and get help. Seventeen hours later, the police broke the door down to her flat where she was found dead. Back's mother was furious that none of her so called friends did anything to help her daughter.

Why isn't suicide taken more seriously?
Why do people look down on people who are depressed and considering suicide as attention seekers?

This society needs more education on suicide or soon it will be hitting too close to home. Hopefully not your own.

RIP Simone. I'm sorry that this world failed you in getting the help that you needed.
