In Russia 15 to 20 teenagers commit suicide monthly. Surprisingly enough, a few of them do this secretly. All over Russia there are hundreds of websites that will gladly help you to lay hands on yourself. At first glance they seem to be nothing but somebody’s stupid game: more than a thousand peers of 11 to 25 years old spend hours discussing several ways to suicide themselves. This, however, is not a game: all these people are dead serious. They will not just advise you on how to die in a more sophisticated and pleasant way, they will also gladly help you to pop off.

This is the wrong place for support and psychological help. In the chat there are hundreds of questions about the better way to die. If you click on one of them, for example, you’ll see that out of 58 responses to the question “How to die painlessly” only 3 people wondered why the person actually wants to die. The rest at once offer countless ways of dying. The first responses are the most common ones: to open veins, jump from the skyscraper, or make a hole in the water. But then come really terrifying pieces of advice. Two of them are especially shocking, because they (as the adviser states) have been already successfully tested.

The first one offers to use 15 grammes of a pill that will make your body dead in 10-12 hours. The physical death itself comes, however, only in 1-2 weeks, during which any medical help is senseless. Collateral damage is worse than in any Hollywood horror films: acute toxic hepatitis, acute kidney failure, internal hemorrhage. Before the injury becomes fatal, collateral damage is relatively small: nausea and vomit. The other piece of advice offers internal injection, after which it is difficult to distinguish suicide from natural death. Such pieces of advice were posted in the web chat by a boy of 19. Another letter by a 23-year old man offers direct help: to ride over by a car or to push under the train. No one ever blamed the boy for being wrong.

Here, in fact, nobody will condemn or tell you mad. All the members of the web chat are there for one reason – to die, but the way they act is quite different. Some members of the Suicide club will try to get down to the root of your problem, try to help you out or persuade you to keep on living. Others, on the contrary, will tell you to die as soon as possible and will even offer help. There is a tragic story about a boy that has been a member of the web chat for many months.
