It has been reported that another teen has tragically taken his life in the small Welsh town of Bridgend, taking the number of teens who've taken their own life to 19 since the start of 2007.
Rumours about a 'suicide cult' in the town were quickly dismissed by local police, but following the latest death, these speculations are bound to resurface.
The 19-year-old, named locally as shop worker Sean Rees, was found in a wooded lane near his family home in Bettws, Bridgend, south Wales, on Sunday morning after he had reportedly gone missing on a night out.
South Wales Police have said that the death was not being linked to other "sudden deaths" in Bridgend.
Local councilor Christopher Michaelidis spoke out on the latest tragedy saying that there must "have been something wrong, but nobody knows. Everyone is so deeply upset, because he was such a likeable person."

That's tragic; there must be some common thread within that town that pushes the suicide victims--teens at that--to go so far as to take their own lives instead of looking for support.

Linked is a beautiful music video that artistically addresses the subject of teen suicide. The video is from the Welsh post hardcore band Funeral For a Friend, and was released in 2005.
