Agreed. Don't get me wrong, my brother and I played a lot of NES back in the day for sure. But that wasn't holed up in our respective rooms, on headsets. And my mom always made us go outside occasionally anyway.

That was one thing that struck me driving around my old neighborhood, looking at houses. Growing up, there was probably about 15-20 kids throughout the neighborhood that were always outside, so there was always a game going, basketball, football, something. Driving around though, on a Saturday and Sunday, we barely saw any kids outside playing at all.

Parents should look to themselves for the answers to why their kids are having problems much more than they do.

Of course they should. Sadly, the number of people capable of looking in the mirror and being even close to honest with themselves about their shortcomings is pretty damn low.

Instead of the parents getting mad at Blizzard, Blizzard should get mad at the parents and send them to jail. Why does it matter anyway? A 13 year old that stupid is bound to not survive. Darwinism is taking place.

There's no way this is the first WoW suicide. Not a chance.

Yup. You never hear 1/1000th of the actual bad things that go on. Most just happen quietly and out of public notice. Same thing with things like employment figures. Some of those who lose jobs go on to kill themselves. Divorce rockets up, as does substance abuse and domestic violence. The repercussions of lots of things can extend pretty far and deep.
