Michael Jackson's Fans Commit Suicide

Even since June 25, I've been thinking a lot about Michael Jackson's death. I've been trying to study his life and I bought newspapers and collector's magazines centering his death. Also, I cried a little bit -- especially after his memorial service. Some people think I have grown obsessed, but when a coworker said others had killed themselves over Michael Jackson, I was shocked. I looked it up, and it was true. Now, I'm not the best person to give advice over suicide, but it's extreme to kill yourself over a celebrity. Don't get me wrong, I feel sad that Michael Jackson died, too. When I was a little girl, I used to admire him. Though, I'm not really boy-crazy, if I was with a male, I would like if their were as handsome and kind as Jackson was. Also, what thinking of his Thriller era, listening to "Human Nature," thinking about the memorial, and seeing his daughter say her speech have in common...it made me weep. However, it's not enough to end my life over. Michael Jackson made had been called "The King of Pop," but he was simply just an entertainer. He wasn't like God...he was human. To end this, all I can say for his suicidal fans...seek help if you feel this way. Trust me -- life will go on.
