People tell each other to kill themselves all the time on youtube.

This sets a precedent for anyone who decides to prosecute against such people. Plus if she has mental illness, then this sentence is not going to do much to reform her; she would require some kind of therapy.

Another US citizen, a man, ran down and killed 4 people, and permanently injured a 5th, putting him in a coma. He got 10 years probation, mental therapy, no prison. That's manslaughter much much worse since these people were not planning to kill themselves, and four times over, plus ruining the life of a fifth.

That's like saying people have sex with a drugged girl shouldn't be a crime, because people have sex all the time.  Those are obviously not analogous situations.  

Just like telling someone to kill themselves on this forum (by the way if it happens all the time, you may want to check your attitude cause I haven't seen that happen to anyone else) is not analogous to telling someone you have a close relationship with, who has confided in you that they want to kill themself, who is in the process of killing themself to kill themself.

Incorrect. That would be rape. Also, the guy was not drugged, so it is an invalid analogy due to the false equivalency.

A more accurate analogy would be a woman convincing a depressed guy to have sex with her. Would any court consider that a crime?
