Ah, the trials and tribulations of young love. All those hormones raging. The burning intensity of emotion. The melodrama. The heartbreak. Sometimes it's so strong, you wish you would die.
Just be careful who you mention those sentiments to.
A 15 year old student from Glenorchy was tried with attempted murder after taking his mate's ex's lamentations a little too literally:
Crown prosecutor Daryl Coates said the boy arranged to meet the girl at the Bridgewater waste water treatment plant about 3pm.
They walked into nearby bushland to an isolated area near the River Derwent where they started talking.The court heard the girl was upset that her ex-boyfriend, who was also the boy's best friend, did not want to get back together with her.
She said she could not continue if the relationship was over and she wished she were dead. The boy asked if anyone would miss her if she was dead.
The girl replied: "No one would care .... I wish someone would just kill me", according to a transcript of the boy's interview with police.
The boy took a hatchet out of his backpack and struck the girl to the back of her head, knocking her down.She screamed and begged the boy to stop.
"The thought that ran through my head was she asked me to do it," the boy told police."I started and I couldn't leave it half done."
