suicide is one of the worst thing that anyone has to go through. he was in such pain, a feel of hopelessness, added to the fact that bad peer pressure who dislike him makes him even sadder. some dont realize how much they hurt someone by talking them down and only realize that after someone ended their life. i have been through this quite a bit myself because some likes to talk out of their ass about you no matter.

i don't see how losing your wife is worth dying over, but i guess he saw it that way. 22 is considerate atleast, not much mess, and keeps you looking normal enough for open casket from what i've read.

I'm proud of you!

#1: You went to a friend's deathbed... That's tough.
#2: You're sharing your feelings and looking at what good can come out of a friend's death.

I think your nic is a misnomer. You seem the kind of person to make his own luck!!

jesus man...I am so sorry. It sounds like he had troubles, and didnt know how to fix them. I feel your pain. One of my best friends in junior high (freaking 8th grade man!) did the exact same thing. He put his dad's 22 to his head and pulled the trigger. And it was over girl problems too.

If I can be of any help, please feel free to pm/im me.
