School Suicide.
I had a friend from school named David Phan that ended his life tragically yesterday with a gunshot to the head at the public overpass near the school.I had just arrived home, when my younger brother (10) called me, saying that the intersection was being stormed with ambulances. I thought there might've been a minor car crash, as I'd just heard a few sirens. Exceptionally disturbed by their panic as it had now been going on for a while, I went to check out the skybridge later, unaware of what was honestly going on. After the EMTs and EMCs left the scene and cleaned up, I checked it out later. There was staining from the blood, girls crying and news anchors covering every inch of the intersection between my home and school. It was horrifying. [url=http://www.ksl.com/?sid=23185730&nid=148&title=school-officials-say-boy-who-shot-himself-never-reported-bullying&s_cid=featured-1]The information regarding the situation lies here.[/url]
I lost an uncle to diabetes when I was six, his main role was to look out and care for my grandparents. He was their main provider, and his death wracked our grandparents's hearts with pain.
On March 31st, 2009, my baby brother Jaxan Joseph Oliver was stillborn. I'd seen death before, but this is one of the times that it directly impacted me. I started to become antisocial, and even cut myself on a few occasions. The scars are still there, accompanied by a massive gash on my right shin. This is wrong. I surely wish I had not done that. There are other ways of dealing with this.
Just last May I lost my other uncle that played an even bigger role in watching out for my grandparents. He ended his life with a gunshot to the heart.
On a few occasions in the past, I have even considered this way out (only temporarily after the events with my baby brother). I want to make it known this is not the way of dealing with this. See a grief counselor. Get help. Suicide is a horribly selfish act and shouldn't even [i]cross[/i] your mind [b]at any given time.[/b] It doesn't only affect your immediate family, but your extended family and community as well. [b]If you are bullied, do something about it.[/b] Tell a responsible adult. I've been bullied all my life and counselors have helped tremendously. Just talk things out. If you took the time to read this, I appreciate it. God bless David's family and they have my best wishes.

There's been a few suicides in my area. FOR THE LOVE OF GOD, DO NOT MAKE A PUBLIC FACEBOOK MEMORIAL PAGE FOR THEM!!!!!!!!!!! Every memorial page that's been made for people I know was raided by people from 4chan/other forums.

I've never known the death of someone I know well, aside from a neighbour who killed himself and my great-gran dying when I was four. Been lucky, I guess.

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] natergator08 Suicide is a horribly selfish act[/quote] ^Lost all my respect for you right here. IMO suicide is a long term solution to what often is a short term problem. But it is [b]NOT[/b] selfish in the same way that getting cancer is not selfish. Those who commit suicide mostly do it because of depression which people don't seem to understand. Depression is having your brain constantly tell you that you are worthless, unloved, hated and a complete failure! You're not you when you're depressed. It's one of those things that you have to discover before it's too late (just like cancer). Otherwise things get worse than they were before. [Edited on 11.30.2012 3:13 PM PST]

My condolences to you, and everyone else who was affected by this. I am personally against suicide and whatnot, despite that I had actually intended it just two years ago (decided otherwise simply because, well, death is lonely) and so I can in some way feel your pain. Very sorry about your loss.

OP, i was in a hood -blam!- mood. My cat just gave birth today and my wife bought a new car. now i'm sad OP. You should have let facebook known not this side of the internet. :(

I understand that you'd want to share this with what you see to be your closest online community, (believe me, I would too) but the Flood is kinda notorious for being -blam!-s. But I love them anyway. OT: I'm sorry for your loss OP.

Seriously, The Flood is already lacking in good discussion cause of Halo 4, we don't need blogs to make it worse. If what you're saying is True OP, then The Flood is the last place you should go to discuss it. [quote][b]Posted by:[/b] A Good Troll Facebook/Myspace/Twitter/Tumbler//adv/ must be down.
