9 Year Old Hangs Self And Commits Suicide At School...

[feller469]

We will probably never know why he did it, because it won't be news. Just take care of yours and try to look out for others. It won't always work out for the best, but just do the best you can.

Earlier tonight, I pulled my boys aside and told them how proud I was of them and how good it made me feel to have to great kids. As I am on the verge of tears, with emotion and pride, my six year-old looks up at me and asks if he can have some Sweet Tea.

I thought it was just perfect. They have no idea and I would really like to keep it that way as long as i can.

Why?

Did you not read the article?

I think the kid was bullied or something like that. Sad to hear it, though.

Also, this and many other factors.

Jeez. All suicides are tragic. I can't imagine the dark place in one's mind that allows for such an act. But a 9 year old child. Heartbreaking.

 

[Legzman]

How does one "attempt" suicide and fail? Just do it right or don't waste your fucking time! Seems this kid figured it out.

 

[Rydog11]

If he was older I think he would realize that he should just take the shit that life throws at you, but he is too young to understand anything, let alone the concept of dying and thinking about killing himself....but with that kind of emotional disturbance he probably would've become a serial killer

 

[Jack Davenport]

No. You didn't try to commit suicide. You put out a whiny, emo cry for help.

It's not hard to kill yourself. Anyone who tries but fails is a complete failure as a person. I could post this message then kill myself before the message has even refreshed on the page.

Kill yourself if you want to. Or don't.

But I'm afraid I'll always have zero respect for this "attempted suicide" bullshit.

that's a bit harsh. There are plenty of accounts of botched suicides. Glad you didn't succeed Chef.

Well that would support my view of people who fail to kill themselves as having FAILED...wouldn't it?

Thanks for backing me up.

This seems very personal to you. I won't ask why. None of my business.

Getting stopped by emergency medical attention makes me a failure.

Awesome.

dude what the fuck do you know about his situation?
nothing thats what.
you crossed the line on that post, thats for sure.
Why get on someone for that?
someone you dont know or know anything about.
thats the kind of stuff that you can say on the internet, but in person it would get a few teeth knocked out.
not too cool.

yeah I agree. I think everyone has at least thought about it, but 9 years old is just terrible.

 

[dadolfo]

:looks up litmus:

ohhhhhhh

 

[~~whimsy~~]

Suicide is a very selfish action.

As for this 9 year old what did he have to commit suicide over? This world is a sickening place.

 

[Jane Burgess]

Damn that is just sad. Some of the comments in this thread are fucked up.

 

[Icewater Jones]

Actually I say that same stuff to peoples faces all the time.

Using the "You'd never say that in person!!!" line generally means the person saying the line would never have the balls. Don't try and speak for the rest of us.

My original comment was not so much directed at ChefChi as it was the overall topic. I phrased it at him since he chose to use his own experience as a litmus to understanding the 9 year old.

Oh and Plasma...yeah I would say you're a failure. I'm sure you've had several opportunities since to kill yourself but didn't. So you never really meant to do it.

...And you're the authority on who is and who isn't a failure.




C'mon son.




GTFOH with that BS...

 

[Facetious]

Really, how ever sad this story is, does it really surprise any of you guys ?
I see events such as this as being somewhat endemic of the society in which we live today. If I find out that this kid had a functional loving mom and dad and a cozy secure home with dinner on the table every night, then I will be astonished.

I could react to this in two different ways...

1) I could use my words as a weapon and fucking tear you apart in such a manner that you would never want to come back to this forum again. Don't believe me? Ask the countless number of ignorant fucks that I've owned on this forum. Oh wait, you can't, because they're too fucking embarassed to show their faces here anymore.

or

2) I could ignore you.

For the time being, I'm choosing option #2. Not for my sake, but for yours. I suggest that you shut the fuck up and stay out of this thread. If you continue to display a blatant disrespect and overall ignorance towards suicide and the people who attempt it, I will revert to using option #1, being sure that you never, ever come back to this forum again.

The ball's in your court. Dribble carefully.

Something tells me this kid had emotional problems. What was he doing at the school nurse in the first place? Was he bullied by kids and got hurt? Did he have scheduled meds he had to take? I agree this kid was way too young to do such an act but he felt he had no one else to talk to or was possibly hoping to be stopped in time for attention but unfortunately his actual plan may not have worked. In psychology we learned that most people that attempt suicide and don't succeed are doing it for attention. That leaves the question of how many that do succeed were actually just looking for help?

It always irritates me though when people say stuff like "this is such a shitty world that this kid had the right idea" Fuck that shit. I love this world. Stop watching the news and actually go out and meet people and you'll see this world has a lot of wonderful, lovely people.

 

[Hypergalaxy]

This doesnt surprise me at all. Years ago kids were allowed to be kids but these days they have a lot more pressure on them then most of us did as kids. I feel bad for the kid and I wish someone was there for him to reach out to. I hope he is in a better place now

 

[JordanRules]

I thought about neg repping you. But why bother? Not worth it...

Same here. I won't waste my time. We need a block button or something similiar for people like that.

Anyway, this is a really sad story. How can a poor kid that young be that messed up? Very sad.
