log on to the site on Wednesday, but they said
no.The teenager then got into an argument with

more attention to school work, and spend less
time on Facebook.
The family also argued about Miss Dahiwal
making long mobile phone calls to her
friends.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.According to her father Sunil, the family was
in 'deep shock' and that he 'never thought she
would ever take such a harsh step.'

Indian officials and an investigation is
underway.

high school students prefer to use Facebook
