Pretty strong contradiction right in your first sentence. It's THEIR own fault for being so misGUIDED. A teenager is a human being who is normally not yet their defined self. They're trying to figure out who they are. They want to break out and be on their own because of hormones or whatever you want to call it. All they are by then is what their parents have made them. Their parents are the ones who have guided them that far.
Being born a certain way is never anybody's fault, really. Even if you took a man who was born violent. Was violent his entire life, and wound up growing up to become a psychopath who murders his family and goes ape **** with an uzi in a preschool. We may not like said individual, but is it his fault, really? This enters the realm of debating free thought and free will. And there is much common sense to suggest that free will is simply a very pretty, convenient illusion.
That aside, the reason someone wouldn't get how a person could /suicide over something said on the internet is probably a person who has the default frame of mind(like most) that the internet is not real. The internet is incredibly real. Words are real. Concepts are real. If a person *****es you out, and by some stroke of luck happens to say some things that you mentally twist to directly relate to issues you're actually having in life, it could seem to you as if that person knows you very well. And when someone over the internet who hardly knows you seems to be able to "read you" so well, it's very upsetting. Almost like your problems in life are extremely obvious, to the point where a total stranger who has never even met you could tell you about yourself. One post on an internet forum can cause a rather large snowballing effect, which can lead to a person suiciding.
