The 16-year-old girl in Sarawak reportedly jumped to her death on Monday , hours after 69% of respondents on her Instagram account encouraged her to kill herself.
Prior to her death, the teenager uploaded a post with the heading “Really Important, Help Me Choose D/L” on Instagram Stories. D and L were largely taken to mean “die” and “live”. The news reports of her death sent shockwaves through the country, as politicians and social activists expressed concern over the mental health of youth, as well as the effects of social media on them.
The tragic news was picked up by international media outlets such Reuters, the South China Morning Post in Hong Kong, British news outlets The Guardian and BBC.

The idea was already in her head, then she went online unless it was the other way around. Social media is just amplifying the narrative. It's like shooting a guy and blame the bullet for his death.
