ChanceKell: While I can agree on that teenagers take things way to seriously it usually needs to be more things behind before a teenager commits suicide because of unhappy love.
It is one thing to say that you will kill yourself than actually doing it. The examples you mentioned above are all tragic but they show also bullying that go their extremes. As for Megan Meier, she was diagnosed with attention deficit disorder and depression (at least according to the link you posted). In short, she was already vulnerable before the bullying started.
But I agree with you that we should be careful before we roll our eyes over teenagers.
Lt.Overload: Sorry that we right now discuss things above your head here
As for you relationship with the girl; Take a tip from someone who has been your age and in the same situation. Enjoy every day with her and have fun.
IF (God forbid) your relationship would end, talk with someone before you do anything stupid. If you don't want to talk with your parents or friends about it... heck post here on this forum in that case. There are a bunch of veterans here who now both the feeling of being in love and, unfortunately, the feeling of "crash and burn".
