They found him hanging in a tree...

Exactly.

@Broony: Totally agree.

 

You aren't responsible for this, Kinky. Even if you once wished something bad would happen to him. As they say, "you can wish in one hand, and crap in the other..."

You were young when you thought that way. Nobody listens to young people.

 

Kinkster it would have happened regardless, it's not your fault in any way. I know that you know this already, but sometimes it helps to hear it. What I want to know is if he was giving hints on Facebook, why didn't anyone do or say anything? Did his parents no care or pay attention...ok I can't say that cuz I could be dead and bloated in a fucking ditch and my mother would know or care for that matter. But anywho, that sucks I'm sorry to hear that.

 

a lot of times, hints don't really look like hints until you reread them after the fact.

a lot of people use facebook to whore for pity, the world would need 3x as many police if they were all taken seriously.

It's not something that is ONE should solely feel the Guilt for - it is moreover something we should ALL be mindful of

 

Pretty much this. I don't figure it probably seemed to anyone as anything but pissing and moaning at the time. He never right out said, "I'm going to kill myself," but his posts were indicative of someone who was in a very dark place emotionally. But only one person replied to any of those posts before he was found yesterday. Even if he had said he was going to off himself, what's the likelihood that anyone would have taken him seriously? 9 times out of ten, that's just an easy attention grabber.

And thanks for the replies, guys, it really does help put my conscience at ease. I know I was not directly responsible for any of his sorrow (to my knowledge anyway, I mean, I am pretty awesome, I could so be the object of affection to a secret admirer ), but it just makes me so sad that he was so miserable and apparently had no one he felt he could confide in. I feel bad that he was a bully and never gave us a chance to be friends. I'm sad that I couldn't be the "friend" to talk him out of it. I don't know, I just kind of feel guilty and remorseful when someone my age passes away, especially from suicide, and that I wasn't in their lives to attempt to bring them some sunshine. Now don't get me wrong, I'm not vain enough to think I, alone, would have changed his mind, but I just feel like there was something I could've done, even though there really wasn't.

 

I am sorry to hear this, terrible.

I have this experience also (a family friend). He was kind to me, left our home late in the night time, shook my hand. Early in the next morning, I was told he was found hanging, also in a tree. I was very sad, and confused. He suffered from alcohol, terrible family home - so, I agree much with MayQueen~420~.

Again, sorry to hear. Take care and best wishes.

 

Why would someone dislike this post?
I am curious.

It was nice and honest.

 

likes/dislikes seem to be given out pretty randomly here.

 

I Couldn't Understand It Either, So I Gave It A Green Thumb...



Cheers Glen.

 

Error is meant for correction, not guilt. I agree with a whole heart we should all be mindful.

 

No need spending time on regret. It will not get you anything.

These things happen.

 

Forums are cool for this exact reason. You can present a problem and get so many responses. Just go with the one that makes you feel better. It's usually the simpler posts too.

 

stupid fuck should have joined the army or something instead so he could do some good on a suicide mission and earned a pension or lump sum death benefit for his kids.

 

That would mean he would be performing beyond his capacity, being stupid and all. I wonder if anyone would be willing to demonstrate how smart that route is in his stead?

 

I'm guessing because it struck a little bit too close to home

The individual either knows someone who attempted suicide or has thought long and hard about being slowly eaten by earthworms

I am guessing that the person is not into God? It does sound a bit uppity.

 

"May God have mercy on his soul" implies that those who commit suicide are hellbound. Not everyone agrees with that. This particular guy was always chastising me and my friends in high school because of the way we dressed and he'd tell us we were going to hell and tell people we were going to come shoot up the school. I figure unless he changed in a profound sort of way, God (as Christians see it anyway) won't be too merciful. I think my biggest regret is not getting to know whether or not he did become a better person. That's what bothers me, the fact that the only memories of him I have are bad and of him being a very nasty person. I try to see the good in everyone and I never saw it in him. And that bums me out.

 

if it was me id have just ran a hose from the exhaust pipe to the window...passing out seems a lot more easy than tying myself to a branch
