Excerpts of texts between teen, boyfriend who killed himself Massachusetts prosecutors say Michelle Carter sent her boyfriend, Conrad Roy III, dozens of text messages urging him to take his own life. Carter's lawyer says she tried repeatedly to talk him out of it and only began to support the plan when it became clear he would not change his mind. Here are excerpts from their text exchanges, with messages cited by her lawyer first, followed by those cited by prosecutors: Carter: "Part of me wants you to try something and fail just so you can get help" Keep being all talk and no action and everyday go thru saying how badly you wanna kill yourself? When I have a serious problem like that, my first instinct is to get help because I know I can't do it on my own Everyone will take care of them to make sure they won't be alone and people will help them get through it.
