Area Has Had 17 Self-Inflicted Deaths in Past 13 Months

CEFN CRIBWR, Wales, Feb. 20 -- Jenna Parry, a bubbly 16-year-old, hanged herself Tuesday from a tree in the center of this village. Last week, 15-year-old Nathaniel Pritchard hanged himself in a village just down the road, and his 20-year-old cousin did the same shortly after hearing the news.
In all, 17 young people have committed suicide in the past 13 months -- five of them since last month -- in Bridgend County in the rolling green hills of South Wales. Police have found nothing linking the deaths except that some of the youths knew each other and some were related.
The suicides have left people wondering what has caused such despair in this quiet Welsh community. |

And some of us soar to the stars
And some of us sail through our troubles
And some have to live with our scars

weird stuff indeed. perhaps all these kids did know each other (as the article suggests) and perhaps all shared a tramatizing period involving someone or something? my deepest sympathy to all those families though.
