Some kid posted up a suicide note on myspace saying:
call the police.
Address ... Abadejo, Mission Viejo, CA 92692.
tell them to go down the hall to the bathrooom.
im soo sorry<3

And what do you know, he did it.

F*ck this kid. Killing yourself is 1) cowardly, and 2), selfish toward the people that care about you. Only pussies write suicide notes. I have to give him credit for actually killing himself right by blowing his brains out, rather than do it the wrong way and cut his wrists in the wrong area.

Dumb ass emo kid.

emo kid...no wonder....i int shocked

I find it worse that people like YOU are still alive rather than the kid who killed himself, to be perfectly honest.

I don't think it's ever necessary to kill yourself, really. However, you can't tell that to someone who seriously does believe it's the only way out. Cowardly, useless, sad...call it what you like. One thing you shouldn't say is "dumb ass emo kid" because it doesn't only serve to make you look like a complete idiot, but it makes you worse than the guy doing it for about ten different reasons.

Emo has nothing to do with anything other than music, let's get that right. Attaching it to something like suicide just makes you seem like a complete mug.

If you were under circumstances that were so severe you wanted to kill yourself, you wouldnt think this way.

judging by your delusional nature, your fake ass gangsta typing (yeah funny how you all of the sudden type semi-normal english in other threads) and your obvious lack of proper spelling and grammar, i would say you'd better wise up before we see your sorry ass in the news.

really, you better either straighten your ass out, or just pray you become some multimillionare soccer jock, because your third option is to be a doomed loser.

-AC To some people, the Emo trend is more than music. It is also they way their phony minds think that everything in their sorry ass lives puts them down and do not mount up to nothing. They are the labels we associate life with nowadays like skaters, skinheads, ballers, etc.

So you're saying this kid isn't a dumb ass for killing himself?

I didn't know the kid personally and who knows, he could've not been a bad guy after all. However, I'm not gonna cut him any slack just because he killed himself.

If you have such a hard problem where you need to kill yourself over it then it must take A LOT more strength and courage to fight that problem for years and get over it then to just kill yourself and end it all.

This is just speculation though since I have never been depressed or felt the need to kill myself..so go ask an Emo that.

It is rooted into the very depth of your psyche to stay alive. Overriding that is not possible for a coward. You will find plenty of people around whose lifes have been destroyed- normally by being caught doing something very wrong- who wanted to kill themselves but lacked the courage.

But beyond all that- it is useless trying to ascribe comfortable, rational motives to anyone so depressed that they are feeling suicidal. Such thoughts are, almost by definition, IRraational so the commentary is useless- and doubly useless for being of no help in stopping it. Spread that mesasage about suicide- that it is cowardly and wimpish- and you merely alienate those feeling depressed so that they hate themselves more. Pointless. Such situations need understanding, not attacks.

Did any of you actually read the report from top to bottom? The person who wrote it is seriously taking the piss out of the situation, albeit in a very clever manner.

I feel sorry for the kid for feeling there was no other way out. And I think he's a coward for blowing his brains out. But the fact that he was quite obviously 'emo' is irrelevant to his killing himself. It could have been a sweet, 16 year old girl who loved everything pink and listened to Girls Aloud 24/7, but I'm sure you all would have found some other generalisation to make.

And as for it being plastered all over myspace, who gives a flying f.uck? I'm a member of myspace and it has no reflection on me... the only way this fella's gonna be remembered now is as another internet suicide. At least his attempt wasn't planned years ahead between hundreds of other like minded souls like some internet suicides are. Who can be blamed for this one? Only the silly boy himself.

The kid was a pathetic excuse for humanity. How do we let pathetic wussys like him infest the world. I get s*** all the time. I cry and ***** but at no point would the idea of suicide come to my head. Apart from the fact i'm afraid of dying I am no coward! People who commit suicide this way are cowards. And dont bring the Japanese culture into this. That form of suicide has nothing to do with not being able to take anymore. Suicide is only acceptable if its going to save loved ones in mortal danger, if youve committed a heinous crime and cant live with the guilt of what youve done or for the sake of humanity.

"What gives you the very hypocritical right to call him and his actions silly?

Everyone needs to stop replying with "That's silly. I would never..." no, shut up. You would never, he obviously would. He did. It's obviously not silly to HIM is it? We'll never know why it wasn't because we were never in his position. Lots of things are silly to a rational mind sitting at a computer reading a thread.

My condolences to your family because their offspring is a moron.

Who are you to say when suicide is ok or not? I personally believe it's useless. I'm not about to go condemning those who do it though, because they obviously see reason to do it don't they? No good all of us sitting here saying, with rational minds (some of us), that we wouldn't do it. What does that have to do with anything at all? Ok so you wouldn't commit suicide. Cool. So what?

Life isn't as easy as "Stand up to them". Your standpoint on this issue suggests you're either 13 and have no life experience, or something else.

The point I made that it wasn't silly to him was it? We can sit here all day, with "rational" minds, saying why suicide is needless and why we'd never do it. That's irrelevent though, we can't apply our calm logic to the situation of some kid nobody here knew or had any knowledge of.

The point being they cut themselves
1) Either as a form of attention seeking, in which case they do just do pathetic little skin cuts.

2) To try to 'kill themselves' which is suprisingly hard to do from cuts on the wrists. I don't think they understand blood loss is a stupid way to die anyway.

"He should have...", "It's senseless...".

Yes, to you. My point, which you clearly do not understand, was that in the state of mind he was in, being sensible and what you "should" do, did not enter into it.

It's all too easy to sit here casually saying "Yeah he should have done this." To him, it wasn't that easy was it?

By 'quite obviously' emo, I was referring to the comments made in the report about him... he wasn't quite obviously emo because he killed himself, but because of the way he portrayed himself. He was seen as emo, whatever that term may be defined as. Please don't tear me apart because you read me wrong.



He was a coward for killing himself, not for the way he did it. I didn't word that correctly, I do apologise.



I called him silly in a very loose manner. As in, a way one would call a child silly for having a tantrum over something idiotic. This suicide, and the way it was carried out, was idiotic. And I have been through it, I came out of it. Excuse me.

Just another quick note, AC, I read this thread through and I agree with all of your comments. In other discussions regarding this topic I have a tendency to take the exact same viewpoint as you. But, once again, you have taken me on as an opponent rather than an ally. Wonders will never cease roll eyes (sarcastic)

You don't even know what emo means, so how can you say he was portrayed as emo? Emo has nothing to do with anything outside of music. The emo "scene" is a fake label. It's just a different kind of trendwhore. There's no need to attach the word "emo".

Still, it takes guts to end your own life, knowing it's gonna be for eternity. I agree that it's a selfish act, but I don't condemn. I think selfish is the term, not cowardly. Bringing death upon yourself is anything but.

Exactly, so you should realise that you were a fortunate one. Some people aren't as fortunate as you. Just because you could do it, doesn't mean everyone can. It's all too easy to come through it with a holier than thou attitude. I'm sure if someone said that being in the depths was idiotic, when you were there you'd probably have replied with "Try being here and dealing with it." You'd be right to, also. So afford the same respect to others.

With regards to you saying I've taken you on as an opponent. This tends to happen when people have conflicting views on specific things.

I agree... I would never say it was easy to actually and your own life.

Does that make me a coward for shying away from death, or a stronger person for bringing myself back from the brink?



I'm not holier than thou, at least I try not to be. I realise, however, that I can be quite arrogant. And I'm sure I can recall saying 'Try being here...' on more than one occasion.

If the dual solutions to a given problem are

a) Dealing with that problem; or

b) Choosing a method of suicide that will (in the event that there is no such thing as an afterlife) end all activity on your part in this world, for eternity;

it's an easy choice as to which requires more fortitude. Let's end the cliched crap about bravery in the face of adversity. All humans have problems, and for the most part, they try to sort them out.

Suicide is possibly a drastic solution, but it's by no means cowardly. I can think of a lot of problems that rank lower on the list than the problem of ceasing to exist from here onwards.

It didn't offend me, I just think that for someone so against generalisation, judging and stereotyping, you shouldn't be saying the guy was quite obviously emo. Nothing to do with emo. Emo is an abbreviated musical term, nothing more.

No. It could have been a skater or something and I would have said "Dumb ass skater kid." Remember, I was just emphasizing his label as a person (skater, skinhead, nerd, gamer, etc).

In my opinion, Emo isn't just a genre of music. It's also a lifestyle labeled by society. Unfortunately AC, I still disagree with you and your logic that Emo is just a rock genre =[

I've actually done this about 10 times. It's not relevent.

What is relevent is the fact that 'Emo' is an abbreviated term for a music genre. People have attached this, wrongly, to an image and lifestyle.

So calling someone an emo is almost as stupid as calling someone a pop.

Walk up to someone in the street and say "HEY! You're a jazz!" Yeah, stupid isn't it?

or a rocker cause he likes rock ?

How would those be distinguished ?

Alpha Centauri
The equivelent to calling someone an emo is as I said, a pop, a rock, a metal. It's nonsensical.

I put people who feel the need to conform to ANY image under one umbrella. Giving them a specific label is doing them too much credit, giving them a wrong one just makes you look like an idiot.

It's all too easy to sit here casually saying "Yeah he should have done this." To him, it wasn't that easy was it?

Yep.....

And as for the question of why someone would do so....it is a case of not being in your right mind. Unless you have been down that road, you cannot imagine how utterly horrible someone must be feeling about life in general and how depressed they are to think that ending their life is the only option. When someone's that messed up, they usually think that they're removing a burden from the lives of others, not placing more worries on them.
