Oh wow.. I didn't know they made a movie about this.. I suppose they make movies about everything lol. Will watch one day. Would so do the car thing if I had a car or the money to get one. Also not sure how mechanically savvy you have to be to do that.

I do not condone what she did, she got what she deserved. I am only referring to the generator method of CTB. Seems simple enough if it was someone's personal preference and own free will.

Will check film.
Wouldn't rwly too much on methods seen in movies though. They don't show things in full detail and lots of omissions and artistic licence involved. They are governed by offsted etc. Not in their best interests to show anything that could create a backlash.
Would take some technical know how as @Phia2021 pointed out. Plus the end result may not be very peaceful. It might be easier to stick with the old method of hose pipe from the exhaust if you have access to a car that still has the necessary emitions.

My first choice method is CO. At least right now. As far as a car, it's easy to do and cheap. Not that hard to rig up. There are obstacles, though, to overcome. Excessive heat from the exhaust. Other stinky, nasty, noxious materials from the exhaust. It's not the fastest way, so you're gonna be in the car for a while, with all that heat, and it's gonna be hot within a closed space like that. Don't kid yourself. Then there's smelling the concentrated other nasty crap from the exhaust for who knows how long until you pass out.

As far as the gas generator, is the OP talking about like one of those small generators that produce electricity?

Would smell super bad, be hot and noisy, and cars really aren't sealed as much as one would think so it'd take some time to build up enough to achieve the desired result.

Yea, it's been a great show so far. Very interesting way to go out, but works i guess. Crazy how it actually happened. She is a genuinely disturbed person that just wanted some attention. True story type limited series are great and there have been a few good ones lately and another good one coming from Hulu in a few weeks and that one about Pam was interesting af

Apparently she was on Celexa (from what I saw on the The Girl From Plainview).

I was on that anti-depressant two different times and I did a lot of irrational shit that I would have never done otherwise.

It was like it completely altered my personality and behavior.

Maybe she suffered the same effects.

I just finally got to see this movie. Got to see it on YouTube. Did a search on DuckDuckGo, and all of the ones that came up had been removed, and the person who uploaded the movie had been terminated. I kept seeing more results and after perusing a bunch more search results, up came another YouTube link, I clicked it, and the movie was still up, even though I had done a search on YouTube itself and nothing came up.

Anyway, what a sad, sad movie. I admit I feel a little ambivalence about the movie. One of the things that bothers me is that throughout the movie, numerous ways of suicide are written into the story and presented to the viewers, no doubt some of which are impressionable teenagers. And the story itself is something that can hit home with teenagers. I honestly feel that, in this case, for some teens, who are already going through so much in their lives at that time in their lives, that these kinds of "ideas" aren't helpful, and can actually hurt, in some cases, as I said, the most impressionable teens going through the very real trails and tribulations of teenage life, and can implant these ideas in these kids. I remember what it was like as a teenager and all the crises seemed like the end of the world. There's just not enough maturity at that age to understand that the problems they are experiencing at this time in their lives are somewhat "small potatoes" that will blow over.

The movie makes Michelle out to be a villain. And I know everyone has their own opinion on this. Obviously, she is fighting her own demons. She feels slighted, to say the least, by Conrad's actions. She's a hurt, teenage girl. That's on top of everything else she is dealing with. Her mental issues are just as real as Conrad's. he had already tried, unsuccessfully, to kill himself, even before he met Michelle. And there were times where she actually did help him with his demons. She didn't start the generator. She didn't lock him in the truck. I think he would have done it regardless of how much coaxing anyone did or did not do. I know she was indicted and put on trial, and ultimately found guilty (although the movie ended without the final outcome coming to light because of an appeal). I'm just not sure when the laws changed making someone responsible for other's actions, especially in this case since she didn't purchase or provide the means for Conrad to kill himself, nor did she keep him from getting help if he so chose. What happened to self accountability? Honestly, I'm not sure she is guilty of anything, other than maybe being a lousy human being. Certainly, she had a litany of mitigating circumstances in her defense.

I don't know the lesson one should take out of this story. Maybe, the lesson, in it's most basic form, is that people with mental issues are the least equipped to be helping others with their own mental problems, even if their intentions are pure.
