I must admit that I have been having the same doubts as some of the others here.

I find what Moosmom said about "the fact that if it were MY daughter that was killed in a tragic accident, the LAST place I'd be in is on a website posting in threads. I'd be with my family grieving for my daughter. " That was one of the very first things that crossed my mind.

I'm not saying that it isn't true, just that I'm not convinced beyond the shadow of a doubt. I personally think that sometimes teenagers and young people (especially) tend to feel a little insecure and need to know how much other people appreciate them & what they have to say, and thus use attention getting threads.

And if it is true, then I truly am sorry for her family and loved ones left behind. Losing a family member is very hard and not anything to make light of. My heart aches for anyone who has lost a young daughter.
