THINK HAPPY (MUTHERFUCKING) THOUGHTS.



MY CHEMICAL ROMANCE BLAMED FOR TEEN SUICIDE.



Memorable quotes from this article:

"Two weeks before her death, she started following U.S. band My Chemical Romance."

"One of the foremost of these "suicide cult" bands is My Chemical Romance, from New Jersey."

"One of their songs contains the lyrics: "Although you're dead and gone, believe me your memory will go on."
---------------------------------------------

I'm going to say this with all the due respect
to someone who was obviously troubled.
It's always a tragedy when someone commits suicide,
especially when they're 13.

But once again,
the media has used a band/music genre
as scapegoat.

Using this girl's death to target a band
cheapens her.
And the band is seriously misrepresented.
This is a band who's self-proclaimed purpose is to SAVE LIVES.
And they don't often let you forget it.

"If you, or someone you know are severely depressed, you need to fucking talk to someone! Your best friend, your mom, somebody at school. I don't give a fuck, because pissing away your life on suicide is fucking bull shit!"
-Gerard Way.

"Like, you should never want to hurt yourself. You should love yourself." -Gerard Way

Maybe the blame should be placed on society.
After all,
she's been part of this profoundly misguided society for 13 years.
She only listened to My Chemical Romance for two weeks.
