    ...that killed themselves? If so, how did they do it? And what was the reason behind it?

    Theres been a few people that I went to high school with that have killed themselves.
    Im not gonna go in to details on how or why they did it because thats kind of disturbing to write about.. why would you even ask that.

    Yup. A man in his mid-fifties, who I was quite close to.

    He IV'd enough heroin to end his life.

    I have thought long about his reasoning but will never truly know why he chose to do what he did.

    War John has a thing for suicide.... Many of his posts revolve around it.

    Yes, they were brought back though but certainly reached the point of medically dead...but yeah I am not really at liberty to discuss why they did it or how, as I don't think they told me so I could go tell a bunch of random people on the internet all the details.

    Nope, don't know anyone personally that has done it. There's one lady I was acquainted with that had attempted a few times. Recently a famous guy, Junior Seau whom is a hero where I live, shot himself. The same day, a close friend lost a close friend to suicide. It's epidemic.

    Lost a friend last year in July. He jumped off a bridge deep in a mountain pass not far from where i live.

    He was facing many decisions for a period of time that he should have been able to walk through. Its hard to keep walking though when your heart is broken and you have tunnel vision.

    He was always broke, i think (i cant prove this still to this day and i dont think ill ever be able to) his so called 'close' friends were not much of friends at all, and his heart was broken twice in two different love realsionships. His whole hand of cards pretty much flopped over the course of a year and he just decided to check out.

    Everyone misses him dearly and we think about him all the time. You never know that what you say might have a deep effect on someone. What might only sound like a joke from the teller, and those hearing it, those words might be stabbing someone inside. Be careful to those around you.

    I also think society as a whole played a major role. To much pressure from everything starting as a kid.

    I have no doubt our posts might have an effect on someone.

    Though in my first post i was talking about situations off the computer.

    One thing i have learned is don't take a single friendship for granted.

    If someone says they are going to end their life. Do NOT pass that aside. If anything you should walk up to that person look at them in their eyes and make it clear to them that you are here and you do enjoy their presence. Even if they say "haha im just joking around" look at them with deep eyes and say "im not joking im very serious"

    Their has been some debate...not much though, but at one point before he jumped him and a friend were driving through the pass and when they went over the bridge he mentioned "im gonna jump off that sometime" and i don't think his friend who was with him thought anything of it. I think its crushing him because now his friends skeleton is in his own closet.
