Of course there's a link. As has been suggested, geography-kids that have tried and failed to kill themselevs have stated lack of anything to do. They could catch a bus to cinema, but buses stopped by the time film finishes. etc.. Also, apparently a lot of them a mardy emo types.... and somehting to do with them all being on bebo. Tons of kids are Bebo, so I'm not saying this is responsible in any way-but with technological advances the kids can go home from school and wallow in their and others misery through sites like that. I can undertsand why Police would play down the link though. Bit of a vicious circle going on
