It was so fvcked up. They [his family] were there when it happened. They heard the gunshot, but none of them wanted to go down to see what it was because they knew Dylan was down there and he didn't respond when they called down. His mom was the first to go down and see. Goddamn..

maybe he was gay, and thought the guys on the football team or his family would reject him

Yeah the sad part is, whatever it was that he thought was so horrible would be trivial to him in just a few months or years. WTF could possibly be so fvcked up in the life of a young man that age to warrant suicide:confused:

Hell I was really messed up as a teenager, in trouble with the law, couldn't get a date, no friends, etc..., etc..., etc... And I grew up to have a nice life with a great professional career, loving family, nice home etc...

Do you have to ruin every single thread you post in by relating the subject at hand to homosexuality?

For fvcks sake, why aren't you banned?

For some, the reasoning is quite the opposite.

It doesnt' take much to go on living. But to take your life into your own hands, to make a decision that you don't want to live anymore, and to finally pull the trigger is not as easy as one thinks.

Hear You Me Lyrics
Artist: Jimmy Eat World

Hear You Me Lyrics

There's no one in town I know
You gave us some place to go
I never said thank you for that
I thought I might get one more chance

What would you think of me now?
So lucky, so strong, so proud
I never said thank you for that
Now I'll never have a chance

May angels lead you in
Hear you me my friends
On sleepless roads, the sleepless go
May angels lead you in

So what would you think of me now?
So lucky, so strong, so proud
I never said thank you for that
Now I'll never have a chance

[Jim Atkins & Rachel Haden(w/ R.H. sudued]

May angels lead you in
Hear you me my friends
On sleepless roads the sleepless go




May angels lead you in

(R.H.) May angels lead you in
(J.A.) May angels lead you in
(R.H. & J.A.)May angels lead you in
(J.A. & R.H.)May angels lead you in

(J.A.) And if you were with me tonight
I'd sing to you just one more time
A song for a heart so big
God couldn't let it live

(J.A. & R.H.)May angels lead you in
Hear you me my friends
On sleepless roads the sleepless go
May angels lead you in

May angels lead you in
Hear you me my friends
On sleepless roads the sleepless go
May angels lead you in

On sleepless roads the sleepless go
May angels lead you in.


I almost committed suicide myself in 8th grade. The attempt almost happend, I had all the materials lined up and started to use them, but its a lot easier to think about than to do it. But I had recently moved, and the culture shock was such that I had literally no friends. Coming from a great social life at that age was depressing as hell. It was the equivalent of 8 months of solitary confinement (we moved back). In retrospect it was one of the stupidest things I could have done at the time. (I DID get my life back in HS) From what I can tell, that kid had no reasonable cause, but there's proably something we don't know. I know from said experiance that its easy to justify killing yourself. You just have to defy nature to do it.

When you're feeling suicidal, selfishness is probably not your highest priority.

WTF? Sexuality "issues" cause a tremendous amount of people to commit suicide. One of my next door neighbors committed suicide; I later heard that he had written a letter before he killed himself, and his sexuality had been a factor.

Q for MF'n T

That's BS. I've been repeatedly unable to kill myself. Living is easy, no matter the challenge.

Most have been horrible for the mom to go down there. My thought are with the family and the rest of his friends. I also would like to know what pushed him to end it that way.
