I was not going to reply to this post and, instead, post something about personal problems of my own, which has been posted right above this one. Even though I didn't admit it in that particular post.

I kinda wish everyone could tell themselves that 'I love myself and the people around me too much to do myself in.' And, I admit that I've considered taking about fifty hits of acid and just going completely insane, where I wouldn't have to deal with the outside world much longer.

Suicide is a very serious issue. Especially today. And no one wants to own up to the fact. They either label the kids "crazy," anyways, or "you have a serious illness within your brain." Marking a kid with that label will make him believe he is that way. Instead of giving him any real help. Well, what do you expect with a world like this one - where it seems that no one wants to listen - or even shows signs of caring?

I don't know his parents, but I had a friend take his life, and many others who have wanted to. And, I didn't really understand it because I never thought of it as an option. Even if it did enter my mind, I got the feeling that I'd be letting "them" win.

But, it happened. And nothing is going to take away that hollow feeling that you get in the pit of your stomach from the people who loved him. And it shouldn't.

My thoughts and new hopes and comfort goes out to you and them. And I hope you and the rest of their friends find the strength to help them through this.
