Now, that may be insensitive, but it was my first thought.

yes, you are insensitive. But does this come as a surprise, really ?

I never considered you the sensitive, caring, understanding type.
What sadens me more is that the community the lived in obviously didn't care either...

As a sufferer of clinical depression I can tell you that NO-ONE who does not have it or that has never had it can possibly grasp how horrendous it is. usmarine2007 you are an insensitive know-nothing. It's all very well for you in your comfortable armchair to make light of someone's mind going so far awry that they feel compelled to make the ultimate sacrifice. Thankfully for you  you will never know the crushing pain and anguish this all-consuming affliction causes.

The children have really come out to play on this topic.

My comfortable amrchair?  How do you know they were suffering from clinical depression?  Also, I am not making light of anything, did I say a joke anywhere?  My point is simple, if they can't handle high school, what good are they going to be in later life when things actually get really hard?

People that commit suicide don't care what you think of them.
They don't 'care' about anything or anyone.
They're dead.

I suffer from depression, I take medications for it, and those people are weak ass pussies, killing themselves because life is too hard. You find a reason to stay alive and you dont be a dumb fuck and youll be fine, I do not respect people at all who commit suicide and walk around asking why the world is so mean to them.

These people are young and from an impoverished area and are probably not very well educated. A little bit of basic education with respect to mental health and the options open to people who are either actually clinically depressed or contemplating suicide might have meant that their deaths could have been avoided. Circumstance is key here - none of us on this forum can possibly tell what drove these people to commit suicide - all we can do is hypothesise. I wouldn't be so quick to dismiss them.

I see no reason for suicide when something is hard. I am, however, quite stubborn and persistant so that's just me. That's just a poor choice, though, giving up on life.

"Against the law where I come from, too."
"And where do you come from?"
"Heaven."

Ok, you guys are complete and uder assholes. I myself am 15 and have thought about suicide. But have never tried it. Im suffering from a brain tumor and the doctors I go to see still have no clue what it is. Aside from all of my other health problems I don't even go to school because of them.

And I see my friends and family are right. You people need to get a fucking heart and need to grow up. Im only 15 but Im probably more mature then half the fucking people who have posted.

You got a brain tumor, that's what might be causing it.

While I'm as much of a militant conservative gas-guzzling capitalist pig-dog as the next redneck, I think anybody who doesn't take the threat and reality of clinical depression seriously is a damned fool, and doesn't deserve to be posting about suicide.

Do I have to spell it out in Wiki for you Neanderthals?

I've never seen such ignorance in my life.  You people have no idea... the effect of depression is more than enough to push someone over the edge.  They think that their family member's will be much happier around without them as a burden.  I'm not glorifying suicide or anything but you people are fucking sick and obviously have no clue...

USmarine, yes a bit insensitive.  Losing someone close would hit anyone hard, but especially a high schooler.  Losing a close friend is likely the deepest pain a teenager can experience, I know from personal experience.  These students killed themselves in response to their pain, not clinical depression.  Notice the pallbearers in the previous funerals committed suicide.  Being pallbearers they were likely very close to the deceased.  They apparently could not find a way to heal the pain and ended their own lives, too.  Very sad. 

My faith and close friends kept me going after losing my good friend and my grandfather in the same year.  The thought of suicide crossed my mind but I knew first, it was wrong.  Second, I knew if I committed suicide, my mother would not be capable of recovering from the grief.  It would have hurt her and the rest of my family and friends even more deeply than I was hurting over deaths by natural causes.  Third, it would erase my ability to contribute good to this life.
