I am thirteen years old, and have had thoughts of suicide in 4th grade and 5th.
I still do sometimes, because of the stupidest things. I CAN understand what this kid was going through. Once I almost committed suicide because of my fear of ghosts; once because I got called ugly, etc.
It's extremely stupid, and once I sit down and clear my mind I realise just how stupid it is.
Besides, we don't even know what the REAL reason for his death was. It could've been a complete accident, anyway.
I dunno, I feel sorry for the kid. Sometimes you just need someone to talk to, y'know? And here's the thing --
when you have constant negative thoughts over something - like this kid was - you attract more negative thoughts to you, making the situation seem MUCH worse than it really is. That could be what happened, and he got completely depressed. so yeah.
