Suicide

Hey everyone, I'm Adam, as I'm sure you all already know.

This morning a student at my school killed himself. It's amazing the effect it had on the rest of the school. So I want to you, at what point does someone decide there is no other way out? What could ever drive someone to the edge like this?

If anyone who believes in a God could pray for my choral instructor Mike Iverson, who lost a nephew to suicide just two weeks before one of his favorite students.

I hate to drag the mood down like this, so I'm ending with the super happy face

Did he kill himself at school? That's probably the only way I would be traumatized.
You do what you have to do, and we all die sometime. I know a lot of people say that, but I sincerely mean it. The only deaths I feel sad for are painful ones.

I feel the same way. I'm not sure if he did it at school or not.

Well, if life is depressing and hard, suicide can get rid of all the suffering. Because death is like sleeping. Everyone is at peace in their sleep.

Unless you have a nightmare. We can only speculate what will happen when we die really, for all we know our conciousness could be at a sub-atomic level, we'll never know until we die.

Whatever kind of death is unfortunate. Life may not always be meaniningful and could often be painful, but without life there is no meaning at all. Suffering is hard. However, without suffering, it is not easy to appreciate the meaning of HAPPINESS.
