I don't understand suicide either.
Two years ago a family we are friends with was torn apart by suicide. Their kid had a best friend who lost his life, his girlfriend dropped him at the same time, and his grades in high school was dropping quickly. He killed himself. It's hard to understand why; I know his parents are great and kind and loving.
The end result is our town has a new charity we all pitch in for, and we've had a lot of discussions with our kids about it. Kids go through some funky stages and sometimes feel so lonely. They need to know they are loved.
Fuck, my father died when I was a baby, my mother was cold and heartless, and my step father could have cared less about me. Not once did I think about suicide.
