Teen barred from facebook by parents commits suicide ,Also discovered 98% of Indians prefer to communicate with Facebook rather than make Calls

A teenager who killed herself after her
parents banned her from Facebook left a note
for a devastated family saying she couldn't
live without the site. Aiswarya Dahiwal, a
second year college student from Parbhani, in
the Maharashtra state of India, had asked her
parents for permission to log on to the site
on Wednesday, but they said no.
The teenager then got into an argument with
the couple who told her that she should pay
more attention to school work, and spend less
time on Facebook. The family also argued
about Miss Dahiwal making long mobile
phone calls to her friends.
Her body was found on Thursday morning,
and police said that she had hanged herself.
A note found in Miss Dahiwal's bedroom said
that she had taken her own life because she
was not allowed to go on the social
networking site.
Police said that in the note the teenager had
said that she couldn't stay in a home with the
restrictions she felt she was being placed
under, and that she couldn't live without
Facebook.
Speaking the Wall Street Journal in India her
father Sunil said the family was in 'deep
shock' and that he 'never thought she would
ever take such a harsh step.'
A case of accidental death has been
registered by Indian officials and an
investigation is underway.
According to the Wall Street Journal, a recent
survey found that nearly 92 percent of India's
high school students prefer to use Facebook
rather than make calls to communicate.
