I AM SO PISSED OFF RIGHT NOW !!!!!!!!!!!!!
Got a call last night @ 1030PM. Recorded message from my sons, high school principal, telling us about 2 student deaths over the weekend. There will be grief counselors available, as well as the regular counselors available to talk to the students that request help to cope with this tragic event.
I got a text from my son today that it was 2 separate suicides. Luckily he didn't know either of them. DAMNI IT!!!!!
My oldest son TRIED this several years ago...so my youngest knows the heartache that it caused everyone involved. DAMN IT!!!!!
There is no problem that is so great , that it requires THIS permanat answer! DAMN IT!!!!!
I feel so sorry for the kids and families involved...my heart goes out to them.
Being in LE, I've seen a lot. A LOT! But still...I can't see the reasoning behind this.
BOTTOM LINE: MAKE SURE YOUR KIDS KNOW THAT YOU LOVE THEM, AND LET THEM KNOW YOU ARE THERE FOR THEM FOR ANYTHING.....ANYTHING!!!!!
DAMN IT!!!!!
just needed to vent...thanks
I am aware of the situation up there, as the son of my college friends was close to the first young man. He is worried as hell, as his son was a life long friend, and was taken totally by surprise.
I hope those that need counseling, seek it out and things improve there.
edit for spelling
I graduated in HS in 2005 and I have since lost 5 friends (included my very best friend) to suicide since.
It is not the answer. It is completely senseless.

That's true, unfortunately the same biochemical imbalances that lead to the mental issues of depression and suicide also cause the person to not be able to think rationally about it. That's why close friends are so important, they can watch for these things and help someone get professional care when it hits.
My sister goes to that school and is pretty shaken up about the whole thing.
I thought it was strange that there would be two suicides so close together.
What a waste.

my bet is 100-1 they were bullied and didnt know where else to turn...
Prayers to all involved. This is the first I'm hearing of this.
