fucking-around-and-business-discussion/718130-sons-freind-hung-nite-2nd-week.html

last nite a senior commited suicide...

im just speechless...

All these prescription drugs kids are being prescribed are the source.

news never blames the medication though, just the depression... might i ask, any of these kids on meds?

no offense but I NEVER feel sorry for suicides.

not 1 has been reported to the news...

boo hoo.

my x wife clled the school--they hung up--they r as shocked as us--yes they conseling and everything but new shit just keeps happeneing...

no idea my man---this has only been reported in obituaries with NO details

details r from my son....

ive been saying it for years.

if cigarettes didnt cause cancer, they wouldnt have a warning about it on the packs.

if depression medication didnt cause suicides, they wouldnt have a warning about it.

medication is directly linked to some suicides, but people usually just say the kid would have done it anyway, but as many believe, its the medication that actually pushes them to go that far.

Wow....that's crazy shit!

Policy at most stations is to stay away from Suicide stories :2 cents: :2 cents:

except when it is Anna Nicole Smith.

found with 9+ different prescribed drugs in her, had PREVIOUS SUICIDE ATTEMPTS, history of depression and injected herself with more drugs than a junky - they just rewrite it as an "accidental overdose" and it stays in the news for 4 weeks...

Anna commited suicide, i wish everyone would admit it.

Damn Dude, sorry to hear... be sure to take the time to talk to you son about how stupid it is and that he shouldn't follow...

The media avoids suicide reports because they put thoughts into people's heads. Over 30,000 people do it each year. It's one of the leading causes of death.

Some say it's the easy way out, but I disagree. If someone is driven to suicide, then at least mentally they lived the hardest lives possible.

Thinning of the herd.

nice first post... you're gonna last long

Thats pretty bad.. you want to see something else sad? Look at the suicide rates at Cornell University

more than 6,000,000,000 people on the planet and just killed himself???? aaaannndd????

uncalled for ....jerk

u 2 asshole---if u feel that way keep it 2 yourself...

sad it is. more so that they couldn't find help.

no offense but I NEVER feel sorry for suicides.[/QUOTE]


these kids were 16 and 17, i get you but WHAT ABOUT WHOSE LEFT BEHIND?


NO PARENT SHOULD BURY THERE CHILD

For all I know it was the PARENTS FAULT.

Im not going to get wrapped up in this, I stated my opinion and that is all. Feeling sorry for suicide cases is like feeling sorry for people who get speeding tickets. Had nothing to do with me, and was totally caused by the person at the wheel.

nice Lord of the Rings quote btw.

Fletch--not sure if u aware--only speaking about cause my son was out with his friend at a sweet 16 till about midnight.....this past saturday...2 hours later he hung himself---now another boy did it---and 1 on the 16th....if your sons friend killed himself i think u would understnd more

Ah Fletch, now I just remember what an idiot you are. You shouldn't talk about things you have no idea about.

This is sad :(

cry me a river.

not saying this to offend anyone---and only good parents get this---your children once you have become the most important thing in life--more important than yourself---if u live by that rule u can always look in the mirror and know u done right---if u selfish u will end up hating yourself and pusing kids away

i feel sorry for you man...

Riiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiight

the magic bullet theory...

:disgust

I hope your son is doing ok, this is a big blow to young people and hard to understand.

So let me ask you this....

Where is your son while you are posting on an adult message board?

If you are going to tell people that they would understand better had it been their son's friend then I feel compelled to tell you to get the fuck off the computer and be with your child. Spend some time with him or do something for the community that will make a difference.

People are judging Fletch and others for posting their opinions because they are harsh. Welcome to reality. As an adult one would think that you would be used to it by now.

As for the thinning of the herds comment.....I've bee saying that for years. People commit suicide because they have failed in life. Many of those failures could have been prevented with better support systems. Anybody want to be that all 3 of those kids were enrolled in public schools?

I could go on and on about this but I'll save some of my opinions for responses since this post is obviously going to piss Howard and a few others off and make them cry.

That's sad...Worries me a lot:(

Arron (my frind from phuket?)..dude...you have no idea about my realtionship with my son..been divorced since 98 out of house since 96--still see my kid every day and talk to him several times a day.--lived 6 blocks from him--never lived futher than 3 miles--i am closer with my son Id say than most fathers not divorced.

That's pity.. some students feel that the best counseling that they would get is to kill themselves.

Really surprised, we hung out for 4 days, i really like you man and so did my wife....

sorry to say this man but you got some hate inside you for something...let it go man...u will be happy..life is too short...

It's Aaron, and yes about Phuket.

It's nice that you have a good relationship with your son but again...How does posting about it here make a difference?

Sounds to me like your community could use the kind of support you have given your son. Clearly you care about the community or you would not be bothered by this....So why not see what you can do to help ensure it doesn't happen a 4th time.

I always wanted to write a book on how to be a good divorced father. my x wife told me all men suck--fathers suck--she seen hers 2 times since she was 10---because of that when i got divorced my kids were 2 and 5 and i made it my mission in life.

Now 11 years later my daughter who is 13 and son who is 16 are simply great kids. Every person who meets my kids cant believe what agreat kids they are. And I love to have agreat time but my kids always came first..

I have made so many mistakes in life but I have done 1 thing really well and that is being a dad after being divorced.

Yesterday i purschaed divorceddads.com and am setting up a forum for where men can sommunicate with each other about isuues with kids..I hope to have it up within 1 month...

got up late sunday --woke up to call from my son--i was on gfy at the time--i posted it

today--i got word that it happened a 3rd time and thought i owed a follow up

When I was in high school we had two suicides in two days ... one of the worst experiences of my life. We were a very small school too, my graduating class was the size of 87.

Double post.
