There are people that think attacking others on twitter or other social media platforms make's them powerful. That bombarding people with insults, gifs, memes, talking about their family, their children is harmless. It's not. There are consequences. RiP #CarolineFlack

If your tweeting your sadness about Caroline Flack, also think about your own behaviour. When you tweet abuse & hate at people, most who you don’t even know, because it’s a laugh, or it makes your feel good for a second - just take a moment to think where that may lead.

Sad and such a waste

I'd never heard of her, but I assume she was some reality celeb. I also assume there will be the usual wringing of hands by sections of the public, eager to blame the media while just as eager to buy the media to find out what the next bit of gossip is.

I don't think fame is ever worth the price people pay for it.

It is sad, and it is a waste. There is no real point in looking for a scapegoat though, as today's scapegoat is tomorrow's potential suicide victim. All any of us can do is stop buying into the fallacy that celebrity matters. If we find other things to occupy our minds with then this sort of thing won't happen.

Great post Dom Im with you on that

Posted it wrong on back of your comment sorry. But as I said great post mate

There is a lot of talk about reality TV but she had a varied career including as a CBBC children’s TV presenter, a winner of Strictly Come Dancing, presenter of Ex Factor, I’m a Celebrity and 2 seasons as a presenter of Love Island.

It’s just very sad whatever the real reason.

So very sad that she thought that this action was her only salvation her family must be totally devastated

She was a very worthy winner of Strictly Come Dancing in 2014 and was so happy to pick up the glitter ball with Pacha

RIP Caroline
