TO THOSE THINKING OF GOING THE WAY OF "HIM": Don't do it. It's not worth it. It is only a permanent solution to a temoporary problem. Even if the problem isn't temporary, any other choice is better then this one. The pain you will cause those you leave behind isn't worth it. Believe it or not there is someone out there who cares for you and will listen to you. Just look for the subtle signs. Those people are there. Focus on things that you know are good about yourself. If you can't find any, spend the time you have in your life discovering them. Focus on other people in your life, others in general, and those that are less fortunate then you and try to help them. The more you do this the better you will feel. No matter what, death is not the answer. If you honestly can't speak to anyone around you please contact me. I am here and I will listen. I love you.

TO THOSE THAT HAVE LOST SOMEONE IN THIS MANNER: I know how you feel. You heart has been ripped in half. You think neverending thoughts of, "If I had only known that he or she was so depressed" constantly. The pain is nonstop. The pain may never go away, however there are ways to not dull the pain, but find wholeness or peace. Focus on others around you. Do they seem depressed or sad and in need of help? Talk to them, spend time with them, and if your religious pray with them. Help those that are in agony around you so that those that went the way of "him" will not have died in vain. If you need someone to talk to please contact me. I love you.

Jesus said ~ "You did not choose Me, but I chose you and appointed you that you should go and bear fruit, and that your fruit should remain, that whatever you ask the Father in My name He may give you. " - John 15:16
"You know that you were redeemed from the futile ways inherited from your fathers, not with perishable things such as silver or gold, but with the precious blood of Christ, like that of a lamb without blemish or spot. He was destined before the foundation of the world but was made manifest at the end of times for your sake.
Through Him you have confidence in God, who raised Him from the dead and gave Him glory, so that your faith and hope are in God. " - 1 Pet 1:18-21
May you and your loved ones have a blessed Resurrection weekend.

At my school,
This school year (06-07) 3 students at Palm Springs High school California have taken their lives, for reasons I and others don't know of. May they rest in peace.
To everyone, there is always another way.

Bless you.
We're all human beings, and it's pretty low that some people enjoy making fun of depressed people.
I love what you're doing, and I support you :)
Man have I been down this road before....one too many times in my opinion. Everytime I'm pulled back to reality though, dispite sometimes I wish this shit would end...I can never bring myself to do it. Maybe it's fear. Maybe it's the thought of hurting everyone who cares about me. Or maybe it's pride holding me back. I dunno, but I still sit here today sifting through life and trying to deal with every shotgun blast it sends at me.
It simutaneously angers me and saddens me to see someone do such a thing. I must admit that when I first heard about this, I was cold hearted about. To me it was just another person that couldn't handle life and took the easy way out. In honesty, it's how I still view the act of suicide today. But the more I thought about it, the more it sunk in.
He was someone who came to his wits end and did what I still cannot do. For whatever reason, he sought fit to end his life and no matter what your opinion is, ultimately we all share the same idea that what he did was not the right thing to do. But as I've learned very quickly in life, you can not undo what can't be undone. It saddens me to see that he could not stick it out just a little bit longer, to hold out on the possibility that life may have gotten better for him. For me, I can't say that life gets better if you hold on...cause it sure hasn't for me. But for him, it may just have gotten better.
For all he knew he could have turned out to be something great, in the future he may have been able to make some sort of difference in this world. And if not, at least things may have gotten better.
I don't know what else to say, a part of me still views those that commit suicide as weak...it's never gonna change. To be fair, I view myself as weak sometimes when the moments I feel like commiting such an act strike me.
I want to say rest in piece, but we all know he will. I just hope that if an afterlife exists, that he isn't punished for committing suicide in his darkest hour, sometimes it's not their fault if they do it......sometimes life just gets the better of you and you see no other way out besides death.
