No you didn’t I’m sorry I will remove it. But when you said when try suicide multiple times and don’t succeed people look at you like your crazy. I just wanted to let you know you can move forward.
Condolences. So sorry for your loss.
I just lost a friend from HS to suicide on Monday and no one even had any clue he was depressed or in that mind set.
Praying for Peace for the family. Cherrish the happy memories and try not to take blame. 🙁
My thoughts and prayers with his friends and family…
Prayers for the family.
This is terribly sad. My thoughts are with his loved ones.
So sorry to the family. Prayers r with you
Society makes it difficult for people to ask for help, due to the stigma associated with depression and mental illnesses. Television news loves to blame rampages on mental issues. Its because so many people in that dark place are worried about what everyone will say. There needs to definitely be more awareness for our young people in schools. Wr can teach them to use a condom, but not to talk about how they feel.
Shauna Kay Gloden people who attempt and or succeed in suicide are sick and need help. My brother attempted it multiple times and was finally diagnosed with Bipolar disorder.
I don’t know you but if you feel so bad you are thinking about hurting yourself you need to get help. Sometimes we can only see what’s in front of us and feel hopeless but with time and strength you will feel better. It’s getting there that’s the hard part.
So sad. He was so young! I think of my lil bro when I think of this kid and just can’t imagine how he must of felt to do that. I feel for the family but feel even worse for him. So sorry.
So sad! Thoughts ans prayers a rest e with the family!

I personally have been in very dark places in my life but suicide is never the option. The pain will pass but it never goes away for those who are left behind.
I use to go to school with him

I agree with Courtney there needs to be more awareness I lost my 14 year old brother to suicide in November we will never understand why my prayers to this poor family as the pain honestly never gets easier
There needs to be more awareness on suicide and it’s prevention.
