The sad fact is the **** press printing crap about her are now paying tribute.

Its a shame some of the papers can't be closed for good.

Indeed.

I think that may well call time on Love Island with 3no. Deaths now connected to it.

I wonder if a man accused of domestic violence would have had so many kind tributes paid after his suicide?

Although IMHO Love Island and it's ilk should be stopped, the show and the media had nothing to do with any of all this.

Ditto, no clue who she was.
Something to do with Love Island apparently, which explains why.

Sad that anyone should kill themselves.

Probably not. Don’t really think that’s pertinent though. As to whether she was male or female.

Accused not convicted.

Lost her job quite publicly.

Convicted in the court of social media.

Obviously at a very low point.

Suffering from mental issues ( not a doctor but pretty sure anyone that kills themselves must be)

It’s sad, and avoidable, whatever sex she was.

For some there's no alternative.

I think it's very pertinent. There are still many people who consider domestic abuse to be a gendered issue.

Fair enough, I agree.

But would probably wait until she was cold before going into the politics of it.

Russ 16-02-2020 01:17

Re: Caroline Flack found dead
 
No politics at all. I simply asked what I think is a very relevant question. Attitudes would pretty much be guaranteed to be different had she been a man.

Hopefully Love Island is cancelled with immediate effect.

You're judging me now? Wow, nothing changes.

I've replied to a comment, nothing more and you say I lack empathy. Why because I don't want to take it any further with you.

So get over it, and stop judging others incorrectly.

Sadly Maggy suicide is the only option, especially in the "Trial by media" society we have today.


Look waht happend to a older pop star whose house was raided and the **** BBC had a live helicopter feed from the scene.

Sadly she won't be the last person in front of the camera to take their live.

Also if she wasn't in the public eye this wouldn't even be news, there are many women beaten by their partners and as many men beaten by their partners eveyday that don't get this coverage.

It's NEVER the only option. People may feel like that is a way out of what's happening.

However being able to talk to someone and having a great support network is certainly the ideal solution.

People may feel backed into a corner and that there is nothing else left as a way out.

Certainly the press and media don't help if it's a celebrity. They need to be held accountable of some suicides. They need to stop dragging every little thing out and reporting it, making things sound far worse than they originally were.

This.

Re: Caroline Flack found dead
 
As someone who has been rock bottom, I can certainly empathise with what Caroline must have been feeling in those last few hours. For some of us, however hard it might be for others to see and understand, suicide might not be THE only option, but it can often be seen as THE only option to end suffering inside. Especially with the stigma still surrounding mental health illnesses, people are scared to reach out because they don't want to be seen as weak. Or feel like they are a burden to others.

I only hope that, however painful it might be for her family, they realise that Caroline has found peace in herself. You might call her selfish for doing it, but try putting yourself into a person with mental health issues shoes and spend a day thinking that nobody gives a toss about you, that nobody would care if you weren't there tomorrow, that the only way to end the pain you feel inside yourself is to kill yourself. God knows, that's where I am right now. I don't know what's giving me the strength to carry on, but stop judging people with mental health illnesses and try offering help and support.

It’s very easy to say this when you’re thinking clearly or even reasonably clearly.

But, when you feel as if you can’t take another step forward both physically and mentally. When you cut yourself not necessarily to kill yourself but you’re so desperate to find a way to get the pain to leave you. Then sometimes suicide is the only choice that you can see.

Some people have to be saved, they can’t save themselves.
