He's 23, though.

Good thing you're not a counselor or a therapist.

[DinoDoc]

heh.

Sad... That post he wrote could've been something I'd say (with the notable exception that I've never even contemplated suicide). I don't really think it was attention-seeking either, just saying goodbye to his friends, or something.

Am I really the first person who has tried to click the second link given in Zero's opening post?

An example of a truly pathetic faked death can be found here:

There was another really time at another site where someone faked their death to get higher ratings for their art.

His family care. His friends care. Anyone not totally dried up to a husk by "Generation X" apathy, or saddled with weapons-grade misanthropy cares for them. So thanks for feeling you had an opinion to express and may I suggest sticking it up your arse rather than posting it next time?

We love you Laz!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Sorry but that's clearly marked as an exit not an entrance.

I also find it hard to give a damn about the fate of someone who cares so little about their own family (the only people who illicit any iota of sympathy from me in this affair).

That's better. Anger is good. Public stating of indifference isn't.

The guy seems to have found a measure of companionship on the board he frequented.

Which I can readily understand.

The post he made saying goodby is curious. Because he lists so many rather small-seeming things while just referring in passing to the stuff which was pissing him off so much he had decided to commit suicide.

As the small stuff of shared gaming life still meant something to him you would have thought life still had things to offer him.

But I guess teenage angst does not work quite like that.

A pity it is not possible to take some of the balance that living just a few more years brings to us all and give it to teen-agers. Like a sort of innoculation.

Reading his post it is really hard not to think that if this guy could have got over the awkwardnesses of the next three or four years of his life he would have got just as much fun from the next twenty or thirty that I have.

Must be agonising for parents of such youngsters. To know that you might have found a way to help them grow through it but didn't would eat at you.

I was never depressed as a teenager. I was full of hopes and dreams.

It was only until my 20's when all my hopes and dreams were crushed, that I became depressed

Sorry. After my mom attempted something like this when I was in High School, I kind of broke my "gives a ****" when it comes to issues such as this.

Great -- so are you saying that if some people lie about committing suicide because they want attention, that we should be recklessly indifferent at the risk of letting others who mean it, to kill themselves??

8) for any of you who are ******* enough to do this to your familys make sure that they are not the people to find your body.

i still have issues. reading that line, the first thought that popped into my head was,
"what a ****ing selfless *****. what if he was depressed because he was always giving himself up to others so that nothing was left? always considering someone else before himself? always being the forgotten one, stuck in the goddamn shadows? so what if he took one ****ing moment to do one goddamn thing for himself? *****."
