Paris Jackson has attempted suicide. I am not surprised but am deeply saddened.

You can hit the link or no; it's in various places but this (forgive me) is easiest. www.tmz.com

I don't think most of us can imagine those kids' lives. MJ was, imo, brilliant and very, very disturbed. So sad.

I'm not sure where those stats come from but TED speakers, especially those as close to the topic as this guy, are usually pretty accurate with their numbers.

Makes me sad.

I heard that it was because her favorite rock star committed suicide.

It's a shame that MJ was so screwed up. Very talented, and created a lot of music that will be enjoyed by people for a very long time.

Hope his kids get the medical care and attention they need.
