It was 3:12 am and I remember the exact time because I woke up out of a deep sleep and I knew something was wrong but I didn't know what. I was laying there and then I seen the lights of the ambulence flashing through my window, I walked out onto the porch to see where they was going and they went to his house. I took of running up the street to only be stopped before I hit the steps to his house, his mom came out crying and told me, I dropped to my knees in tears. I have not spoken to this girl ever since, I know it was a stupid reason for him to do it and I just wish he would of stopped here and talked to me. I didn't even get to say goodbye. :( I wish he would of the gift that you did, and I'm glad that you got it. Suicide should never be a option to anyone that one person can hurt so many.
I am so sorry you lost your friend.:(

It's all in the delivery, novakru ;)

It's Alive - read novakru's post and have a rethink about suicide being trendy or pathetic. Patronising those who might want to kill themselves and for whom softball and music are way down the list of importance is rather insensitive.

:D

I think It's Alive actually deserves a lot of commendation, for bringing up the question, starting the thread and wanting to examine everything with the forum. One of the arguments people have always had about horror and everybody who watches horror films is that they are desensitized to real violence, real suffering and real situations. I think that the question and the thread and the nature of people's responses on the forum in this particular thread show that people can definitely take in a lot of violence and still have perspective on real violence- physical or psychological. It's really odd that this thread came up, because a couple weeks ago was the anniversary of a friend of mine's death. I definitely know what Maniac felt. The last thing this friend of mine said to me was at the end of a conversation on the neutron bomb a few hours before his death, he said, "what's the big deal? It only destroys people." He was kidding, but those words in that context gave me a really chilling perspective on the whole phenomenon. I had just been on the forums two weeks back, and then I went out and took a walk and sat down in the park. I found myself thinking about isolation and desensitization. I ended up leaving school this year instead of getting a degree in thanatology, the study of death and afterlife beliefs, and I found it odd and sickening that I had nothing good to tell myself to contextualize the grief and how a lot of people have actually been desensitized to tragedy and violence. It's nice to see that right wing idiots are wrong about horror fans being those people. I think actually for people who are often amused by onscreen violence real violence in fact becomes more repugnant and scary.

This is exactly right. Its easy to laugh, joke and cringe with a smile on your face when watching horror films. Any exposure to real violence or tragedy, without fail, makes you realise how 'safe' the feelings of fear you feel when watching films are. The real world will always be the scariest thing anyone will experience.

Suicicidal Inspiration is a sick thought media inflicted mind control.

People get so down that they'll kill themselves because they don't fit into ideals enforced by visuals

at times in this world all you've got is your friends and maybe these people thought the world sold out against them I decided to quit the world together

take a step back and relise this shit cause we're ALL contributing to it

........trendy, trendy rich kids?
