    I feel bad for the kid, even if he did take his own life.

    For all you criticizers; It's easy to speak poorly of someone else's actions, and say you could have done better. But you never know how it really is, until you walk a mile in their shoes.

    Some of us may have. Me for example. I've probably walked more than a mile in his shoes. Later, QD.

    People don't understand how bad life can get until they live in harsh times. Life is hard get over it. The point of a struggle is to get through it and live to fight the next battle. To sympathize for someone that is weak is beyond me. So he was 19 years old and barely even gave himself a chance in life and already he decided to kill himself. There are so many reasons why I just don't feel sorry for the guy.

    I don't know anything about your life, or his. So I can't really compare the two. But sometimes people just can't find the strength to pull through their problems anymore. Regardless of whether or not you agree with how the kid handled things, you should always have respect for the dead. We all gotta go sometime, death is the one sure thing life. I have respect for the kid, and I hope people will do the same for me when it's my time to go.

    I haven't been to the lowest of lows, but I can take a good guess that I've ran into much harder times than he has. I mean at 19, he really didn't have time to have a fucked up life so bad that he had to kill himself. I spent two years living, literally, on Buford Hwy and Peachtree St. No home. No roof. No food. No money. Nothing but my clothes. There's more that would make his life seem like a cakewalk, but I won't get into that. From my understanding, he (parents) was rich. He went to really good schools. Seems, from reading things, that his complaints were very trivial and a very stupid reason to put your family through such heartache. People don't like me? The fuck kind of reasoning is that to kill yourself? I love this girl but she doesn't return the feeling? Come on?

    You and I are straight cool and shit, but I gotta disagree with you 100%. I have no respect for people who take themselves out. Later, QD.

    You know what fuck that.
    You go to combat and see and do the shit I've done. You get bombed and shot at almost every day. You try waking up in middle of the night and see someone standing over you about with a knife about to stab you to death only to blink and and realize they were never there. Try seeing people you know die. Try working long days only to get off of work to a cold meal and a even colder shower. On top of all that your girlfriend is at home fucking your best friend. Try hoping every day that next IED takes your life so that you don't have to live to see the next day. Yeah I lived it. Let this poor schmuck walk a mile in those shoes and tell me his problems were so bad. Not a day went by I didn't think about killing myself, but I didn't. Yes I wanted to die, but not by my own hands. I would never go out like that.

    Sorry to go off like that, but now maybe you can see why I have no sympathy. Weakness is all it is. It's those kinds of hardships that make you stronger. If you can't survive adolescence then you really maybe suicide isn't such a bad option, because life doens't get any easier as you get older.

    agreed much so,i have not had a easy life,but i never complain bout anything,i think its made me into the person i am today...and a stronger person as u said,sometimes i wonder if i do anything different,now i dont blame anyone or anything,well im not religious so ofcourse i blame no "higher" power.

    because of al lthis,i never get mad at people,i never hold grudges,or any of that because life is to short and ive expericed how fast it can be lost 1st hand,so i value everyday i wake up

    yep. i can agree with that one whole heartedly. but the inability to give up is strength. seen and been through enough in a lifetime to make some people fuckin nuts. but quiting on life? not an option...
