A boy in my school committed suicide on Tuesday…he hung himself…I’ve been destraut about it since I found out. No one ever knew he would try to..no one even knew he was upset with his life. If I had known I would have tried to talk to him. I’ve been depressed for as long as I can remember and have wanted to die for years now. Obviously I wouldn’t encourage him…I would have tried to get him off the ledge. He was a great kid. Everyone knew him and loved him even at our huge school. But after this happened it got me thinking…how horrible it must have been. The thoughts consumed me and I couldn’t go to school the next day, I was such a wreck. My dad found out I skipped and now all he wants is nothing to do with me. One day. And he’s done. Guess that’s fine…he was the last person I had but I guess that’s when you know it’s time right? When the last person you have left leaves? My mom left and along with the grief she left tons of prescription medication. I’m thinking about just taking a combination and hoping it just ends it. I’m just afraid it won’t work and I’ll be left to live for years paralyzed or brain damaged or something…I just want a straight way out.

I need you to hear something very important.
Suicide isn’t catchy or contagious like a cold virus but the idea of suicide can spread, especially in schools.
It sounds like you are already suffering from a depression and seeing someone else, or hearing about someone else, who killed themselves can make you think about it more.
Your school really should offer supports for all of you, many students will be affected by this tragedy.
But I am hoping that you can find someone to talk to about your feelings, even if it simply means calling a help line.
Can you do that?
Do
