The documentary is highly anticipated, the painful fight of Alexandre Taillefer, whose son Thomas had taken his own life two years ago, was broadcast for the first time on television on Tuesday, and he has done a lot to respond.

The one-hour film presents the quest of a father grieving seeking to understand what was able to push his boy cyberdépendant of 14 years to suicide and the steps in its fight to change things when it is a question of mental health among young people in Quebec.

“Bye” is the only word left by Thomas to his family – is full of moments that shake in the throat. Among them, the visit of Alexandre Taillefer makes to Loïc, a 17-year-old who ends a therapy for two months in a centre dedicated to the dependencies. We should also mention the meeting of the businessman with a group of teenagers in a cafe in video games.

“The truth is, as parents, you are the last ones that want to talk about it. You have made the world, and we don’t want to disappoint you”, will give him a teen about his thoughts.

The distribution of the work initiated by Jean-Philippe Dion has a lot to react, the internet users on Tuesday. Several of them were very affected, others made comparisons with their own lives. Some claimed even the broadcast of this documentary in all the secondary schools of Québec.

Here are a few reactions:

My son was cyberdépendant, online life was more thrilling than the reality. It has (finally) found a balance as a young adult. I hope it will continue in #BYEdoc
