Natasha Randall was found hanged in her bedroom at her home in Blaengarw, Bridgend, at about 6pm on Thursday.
South Wales Police have been examining a computer used by the teenager, who was a member of social networking site Bebo.
A task force including police, schools and health workers are now investigating her death. The group was set up to create an action plan following the deaths of six young men in the Bridgend area over the past year.
It is thought there were some links between the seven young people who have now died.
Dale Crole, 18, was the first to kill himself. His body was found in a disused building in Porthcawl, South Wales, in January 2007.
The following month, 19-year-old David Dilling was found hanged near his home in Pyle, Bridgend. Thomas Davies, a 20-year-old friend of Dale and David, was also found hanged in February.
In August 2007, 17-year-old Zachary Barnes, of Wildmill, Bridgend, was found hanged. Last month, 20-year-old Liam Clarke, a friend of Dale Crole, was found hanged in a Bridgend park.
Earlier this month, 27-year-old Gareth Morgan, who knew Liam, was found hanged at his home in Bridgend.
Natasha, whose death was the seventh, left a message on her page on Bebo to Liam after his death, reading: "RIP Clarky boy!! gonna miss ya! always remember the gd times! love ya x. Me too!"
