"An hour ago in Saratov, 11-year-old L. jumped out of the window of a high-rise building. She was broadcasting live on Vkontakte, nothing foreshadowed a worst-case scenario, as the girl opened the window and sat on the windowsill with her legs hanging down.

"The worst thing is when you are only 11 and you are already so disappointed in life" - L. wrote in the chat broadcast.

"Bye!" and L. dived through the open window. A scream is heard, followed by a dull sound of collision with the ground. Seconds later, the girl's parents burst into the room, the mother looks out the window and she becomes hysterical.

According to some reports, L. survived, but is in critical condition."

Shock maybe? It's a "weird" reaction for sure.

They're getting younger and younger to take drastic steps.
Reminds me of this a couple of days ago

a 14-year-old boy in the eastern Indian state of Odisha killed himself after being scolded for playing games on his phone. Authorities in the case said his parents had given him the mobile phone to attend online classes after schools were closed across the country due to the COVID-19 pandemic. However, the young boy spent much of his time playing games instead of studying for his exams. On the day of the incident, the child's mother had reportedly taken his phone away, and scolded him. Enraged, the boy left the room and went to the roof of the house, and hung himself using a towel. He was then rushed to a local hospital where doctors declared him dead.

The National Center for Biotechnology Information in a report stated with the increase of dependency on smartphones, addiction to the gadgets has become a serious problem, especially among children. The researchers also mentioned that smartphone addiction has a negative impact not only on an individual's psychological health, but also physical health.

I hope she created the content she wanted. Too bad she won't be around to see the number of likes.

If you all want to see where this is all going, please watch the Black Mirror episode entitled "Nosedive".

With the help of my trusty fall calculator link, my guess was an approx 3 second fall = height of 144.7 feet and a velocity of 96.5 ft/s.
You'll use it...I know Hyper will, have fun and your welcome
