Aiswarya Dahiwal, a second year
college student from Parbhani, in the Maharashtra state of India killed herself
after her parents banned her from Facebook. She left a note for her devastated
family saying she couldn't live without the site.
Aiswarya had asked her parents for
permission to log on to the site on Wednesday, but they said no. She then got
into an argument with her parents who told her that she should pay more
attention to school work, and spend less time on Facebook.
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.
Her father Sunil said the family
was in 'deep shock' and that he 'never thought she would ever take such a harsh
step.'
