Details

Mindless chat, and fruitless debates about Britney Spears' belly button piercing, a lack of causes to fight for and Oompa Loompas, take up most of the teenage typing time in cyberspace, but lurking in the murky world of internet chatrooms, Jim, a fifteen year old boy tests the depths of his depression. Two individuals use his loneliness and the anonymity provided by the internet to instigate a twisted plan. Their 'cause' is to talk Jim into killing himself to alleviate his slight depression and to make a bold stand for teenage rebellion. Simple fun turns nasty and the other three teenagers logged into the room, must fight to save Jim's life. With no friends or family around to listen and no hope of ever feeling happy, there might be only one course of action to take... Supported by The Dorset Foundation
