She was 16 and word is she had just been dumped by her boyfriend. I shudder to think how he feels now.
I know a guy who saw her jump from a distance (he was driving on the bridge at the time) and thought he was seeing things. The poor lads in the traffic below too.
Makes you wonder how this becomes a first option for a teenager, for a normal teenage problem?
There’s students up there all week, lots of flowers and balloons etc, and there’s a real fear if copycat stuff. Police there a lot monitoring it.
You’d have to wonder is it the instant messaging and social media of it all. Like when we wanted to dump someone you just didn’t talk to them and soon months passed and people got the hint. Or you did it face to face and you could gauge reaction and make them feel better.
Now it’s bam here’s a message. Pow! You’re no longer “in a relationship” on Facebook. You can’t escape it and it becomes bigger than it actually is.
Terrible stuff though

My first thought was it’s hard to have any sympathy for anyone who endangers the lives of others when taking their own. I know depression is a mental illness but does getting dumped qualify as clinical depression, maybe it does I dunno. Anyway, what a fucking mess.

I knew a young lad, 18 or so when he jumped off a bridge onto motorway. Landed on a car bonnet. Badly injured but survived. In hospital for two months. About a week after he was released he hung himself. Made me think sometimes there is nothing that will stop a person once they take that journey.
Apologies tase. I thought you might appreciate some light humour.

That was humour ???
Only a matter of time before NCC’s wife comes out as a lesbian.
If you’re not living on the edge you’re taking up too much room, db.
Hardly a Lysaght??? My own cousin was pulled out of the Shannon last week too, didn’t know him that well as he was much younger but it just hits home the problem we have.
An middle aged fella that myself and RTT were chatting to in the pub just a couple of weeks ago. His brother did the same thing about 10 years ago.
Met you and rtt in the pub then offed himself?
Sorry to hear that Rents. The sooner there is a proper task force set up to try deal with this the better. The RSA get huge funding and publicity, all good too by the way, yet the deaths are dwarfed by suicide.

Cluster suicide I think it’s called KP and unfortunately it is all too common.
