my friend came home from high school and walked in to find his mother's brains all over the place after she shot herself in the head. also the mom of a girl i went out with in high school, she had wicked depressions and i guess finally gave in.

the only young person i knew who killed himself was 16, he was a few years older than me - i thought he was so cool, good looking guy, car, hot girlfriend - he killed himself over some minor drug trouble he got into and some problems with the girlfriend. crazy - teenagers take stuff so seriously, don't understand that the girlfriend they have at 16 will be nothing but a memory by the time they are 21, hell maybe by 17, and problems that seem so major are really quite minor.

i don't think suicide is a cowardly act usually - i don't know many people who could end their life by their own hand it might be a stupid act, a selfish act, but not cowardly.

and to be honest, some people's lives are screwed up enough that suicide is a release. not all things can be repaired - minds and bodies don't all heal. there is no glory in completing a race that you can't win.
