"Parbhani, Maharashtra: A teenaged college girl committed suicide after her parents restricted her use of her mobile phone and social networking sites like Facebook, police said on Thursday.
The incident occurred late on Wednesday night after 17-year-old Aishwarya S. Dahiwal had an argument with her parents over using Facebook on her computer.
According to investigating officer G. H. Lemgude of Nanalpeth police station in Parbhani, around 500 km east of Mumbai, Aishwarya’s parents had objected several times to her using social networking sites and chatting long over the mobile phone.
“Like all parents, their intentions were only to ensure that the girl did not go astray. They advised her to concentrate on her technical studies and stay away from long mobile chats and social networking sites,” Lemgude told IANS.
After the argument on Wednesday night, Aishwarya went to her room, penned a suicide note and hanged herself.
In the note, Aishwarya reportedly wrote that she had been constantly prevented from using Facebook by her parents.
“Is Facebook so bad? I cannot stay in a home with such restrictions as I can’t live without Facebook,” her suicide note said.
The Dahiwal family, comprising jeweller Sunil Dahiwal, his wife and two sons are in a state of shock."
This chick commited suicide. Over Facebook. FACEBOOK!
Sad, but what a silly bitch. You need to be ridiculously unstable to put so much emotional stock into a single website. Feel bad for the parents having to shoulder the guilt over something that they were 100% not responsible for.
I’m sad …for the fact there are people stupid enough commit suicide over such small things.
Seriousely though its easy to make jokes over this but she most likely was mentally not well if she commited suicide, probably last drop in the bucket that made it overflow.
This is some funny shit, but is it believable? Maybe the father was subjecting her to brutal rape all the time and blamed it on facebook when the cops showed up, cause you know, Ndia!
At least it saves us from all the media bullshit that would have occured had she lived long enough to top herself over trolling instead. (Come on you know someone as dumb and invested in all this social media bullshit as her would have done that eventually)
I’m not sure she was ALLOWED to have hobbies. Her parents wanted her to focus on her studies, fuck a social life (which we all know is more important to young girls than ANYTHING except food). They were apparently on that overly-restrictive tiger-mother shit.
I just noticed; that family was from India. For all we know the chick was being raised by parents expecting her to do nothing but work towards whatever the hell engineering degree that they picked for her and choked the social life out of her.
Then again eh. She didn’t write “I can’t live because of the shit that my parents are pushing” and was pretty specific lol.
Traditional Chinese families are pretty damn harsh on their kids when it comes to school but I wouldn’t know about Indian culture.
