NEWS: Model found hanged in Paris apartment

20-year-old model and fellow blogger, Daul Kim was found dead in her Paris apartment on Thursday. She had been very successful in her modeling career in the past few years appearing on several top runways. It is very sad to see someone so young and in the public eye to feel so alienated, and even with 'clues' found on her blog (iliketoforkmyself.blogspot.com), that she still was able to take her own life. When our society places so much emphasis on being pretty and being skinny and being rich, you have to remember that being happy and healthy has to come first, because those other things don't really matter in the end. Condolences to her family and friends.

If you or anyone you know have suicidal thoughts, please get help.
