Your opening post was the height of ignorance, I made no assumptions, I have read enough of your posts to know what time it is, so to speak.
Since you are attempting to tell me what to do, I will return the favor, bless your heart......try to gain some compassion, will you?

There were a few teenagers when I was in HS that committed suicide--they were not gay either. The letters were very similar to the one this teenager wrote. Let's face it teenagers are morbid creatures. They are hormonal, delusional, and often times have a very short-sighted view of life(they believe that the temporary--HS--is forever and that life will be horrible forever). Once they grow up, this view minimizes. I know for me and several others it did. I was very demented in HS, went through bouts of severe depression, felt like crap about who I was, and felt like the world was against me. Now I look back at how crazy I was and laugh.
I feel very bad for this teen. I truly feel for anyone who feels the only way out is by suicide. But still I wonder if this is about homosexuality or moreso about a depressed teenager(which thesedays is far too common).
Either way I do have to agree that thesedays kids have no backbone. And this is not to poke fun of this situation, because it is horrible, but rather a way of examining the fact that society has a bred a generation of teenagers, and children that don't seem to be able to handle life--and everything that comes with it. The inability to handle "life" leads to what we are seeing now--the numerous amount of children and teens that are depressed, on anti-depressants, committing suicide, or engaging in destructive behavior. What's worse is that people are so sensitive these days that they are unable to handle even the "smallest" bumps in the road. I can't even count on both hands the number of stories I've read about teenagers, and children being bullied, and therefore resort to plastic surgery of some sort, suicide, moving to different schools, going on talk shows to lament about how horrible life is for them, going to counselors, having their parents fight their battles and so on. I say this not to make light of this situation, but as a way to say that this situation is far too common and IMO goes beyond sexuality.
I think most people in some shape or form have been bullied, teased, excluded, or felt as though people were against them. I don't think this is solely a "homosexual" thing. Still, I can see how the discrimination and feelings of being "abnormal" for being homosexual could lead one to feel very badly about their sexuality to the point of killing themselves.

It clearly has not happened to anyone that you care about.
And how are you so confident stating that it has never happened to anyone I care about? It's astounding that people on this forum feel comfortable passing judgement on people based on their posts on internet forums. Bizarre.

You are welcome to your opinion. Please be aware that your opinion is not fact. If you think you can judge my overall character and ethics based on internet posts you are lacking logic.

Clearly not. Once again, don't post here if you have a problem. And it's funny that you talk about making assumptions and ignorance.

You are passing judgement, you are posting pure hate and spinning it as if you are God's gift and you can do no wrong.

You are not special with your thoughts. Remember that.

Grow up! You have NO clue what it's like having a large segment of society wishing for you to "go away"....because of people like you this kid did just that! .

Default Suicide Notes

Suicidal people suffer from depression, they cannot cope with reality, the notes they leave are to the people who they think are responsible for their problems they wish to get revenge using guilt, it's a selfish act leaving friends and family scarred for life.
