I think that's what inspired the movie "Heathers."<br />CatherineMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04909616844180482228noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8078379512095504946.post-75217420242353886712013-02-09T13:36:55.553-08:002013-02-09T13:36:55.553-08:00For the record a fashionista is a young woman who ...For the record a fashionista is a young woman who is breaking into the fashion industry.<br /><br />I think that your point is well taken. Obviously, she decided that she wanted her suicide to make a statement... thus she did it in public where she could garner a large audience. The same no doubt applies to Tyler Clementi.<br /><br />Unfortunately, the best people rarely get the most attention.Stuart Schneidermanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12784043736879991769noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8078379512095504946.post-41607691532504162452013-02-09T13:31:08.780-08:002013-02-09T13:31:08.780-08:00I don't mean to be rude, or seem that I'm ...I don't mean to be rude, or seem that I'm diminishing the sad actions of this girl, but what is a 'fashionista', and why is she a news item? Kids commit suicide all the time, for reasons we can only TRY to understand. Had a friend die recently by his own hand....late stage pancreatic cancer....and trying to understand is really tough. But he isn't news, although he should be, giving so much of himself to so many other.Katehttp://olbroad.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8078379512095504946.post-20184451238166245782013-02-09T08:08:37.679-08:002013-02-09T08:08:37.679-08:00And, no I didn't come up with that on my own.

And what did she accomplish?
On the last no...Sad. And what did she accomplish? <br /><br />On the last note, you'd be horrified to see the smorgasbord of meds provider's issue scripts for- across the spectrum. Amphetamine's, anti-anxiety meds, anti-depressants, sleeping pills....and at the same time at the drop of a dime. Not because any in depth diagnosis , but because someone's irritable, sad, can't focus, is stressed, many times which are even noted as situational. We are indeed a drugged country, with no motivation, or need to learn to cope with anything. We can literally 'take a pill'.Katielee4211https://www.blogger.com/profile/14994959732687391703noreply@blogger.com
