I just learned from my wife a couple weeks ago that kids at my sons school aren't held back if they are failing school unless there parents want them held back. They literally can't fail school anymore,crazy

There's no way this chick hung herself with her backpack on, somebody probably killed her and put her up there like that.


BTW, for anyone who hasn't suffered from serious depression and chronic suicidal ideation its quite easy to offer vapid parental or self-help advice. The fact of the matter is if your saying stuff like that, you really just can't understand the depth and intensity of despair that would make someone take there own life like that, and that's not a bad thing for you, but just so you know, if you are ever in a position where you are counseling someone you care about who is considering suicide, don't say any of that stuff. You might as well save them the trouble and off them your self.

They don't learn the value of anything, much less the value of a fucking dollar or god forbid, a life. If a boy dumps you, kill yourself. If a girl disses you, kill her, etc, ad nauseam. If somebody screws you on a drug deal, burn their house down and off the whole family. Whatever, I'm done.

We know literally nothing about her or what her life was life other than how it ended... assuming every kid out there who decides to off themselves are justifying it over something as common and trivial as a break up or a diss is a pretty narrow assumption. Could have been terrible things going on with her, and we'll literally just never know.
I agree that a lot of kids lack a sense of self or motivation etc but it doesn't make them subhuman or anything. Life will teach them how to suck it up or they'll resign. Either way, who is anyone else to explain a "why" that personal and subjective??

Just a general observation

[Ladicius]

Shouldn't this be: "Teenager commits suicide on the way to commit suicide"?

[chewbacca]

Wow that sux.

Well to be fair, education has gone down the shitter over the last 15 years. I remember back when we actually got to dissect things in science class, now they can't do that or little Johnny's PETA member vegan parents will sue and they can no longer do holiday activities because its not "politically correct".... Here in UK you can even go to jail or be fined for taking your kid on holiday during school term. It's dumb and corrupt.
