What on earth is going on in Bridgend?

A 17th young person has killed themselves!

Something very odd, and very sad is happening.

Not another one !

Those poor parents

Not being funny but if I lived in Bridgend right now, i;d be cr*pping myself, worrying about my friends and family!

Desperatley sorry for all these youngsters.
Something is so ' not right ' there.
My condolences to all their families and friends.

Its terrible whats happening

so many of them something untoward must be going on.

I was in Bridgend the other day and drove past a makeshift memorial to the them there was so many flowers and cuddly toys there for them.

There must be a link ....somewhere.

I don't see how they can say that they're unconnected as they already proved that they connect one person to another to another. It's shocking and scary, I feel so sad for those parents.

Something is going seriously wrong in that town. The internet is being rolled out as a scapegoat, but if the net was to blame the suicides wouldn't just be in that local area. They should have had an enquiry months ago, what will it take, reaching 20?

What on earth could cause so many children and teens to kill themselves. Is it to do with the schools? Is there some bullying gang, what on earth is it?

It's very worrying....

My sister n her family live a few miles away in Port Talbot....she has 3 teenagers. My Twin daughters live in Newport, not a million miles from Bridgend either n they all use Bebo.....

There must be a connection somewhere as each youngster was a friend of the one before...or something like that.

My thoughts are with all concerned. xxxxx

Really sad. It's always been recognised though that young men between the ages of 17 - 25 are at high risk but don't like to think of all those who have lost their beloved young ones.
