Another sad day today with yet another young life ended by suicide!! Word came from the boys school this morning via text message advising the parents that a former student of the college had suddenly lost his life over the weekend and that counselling was being made available to all the boys that have been affected by this.
There was a mass held for all the year 10 students today in memory of the lost child.
My thoughts go out to his parents and family I can only imagine the pain they are going through.
Why oh why – what a waste of a young life!! The second one we have heard of in a matter of months. No matter how bad things may appear they will get better, they always do. Life is such a precious gift.
Rest In Peace
5 minutes more please 
So very sad. I fight depression, but I hope I never feel that hopeless. Tragic. 😦
Very tragic. I hope you will never feel that hopeless too, there is always light at the end of the tunnel even if it doesn’t feel that way at the time. Xxx
Sad thing, but why did he killed himself?
I don’t know they didn’t say.
It’s so sad… and I’m so sorry for the family. I wish all people would have someone who is there to listen when they have problems or can’t find a way out….
I agree totally
Oh no, how awful. I’m so sorry xxx
I know it’s just heartbreaking 😦
I’m clicking “LIke” but I don’t like it at all.
feel so sad for the family and all that were impacted – and this is such a tragedy and I hope schools start adding more and more coping and life skills classes into the curricula for the younger grades – I think it could help.
❤ thoughts and prayers w the family
I agree with you there must be more coping and resilience building classes for young people.
well my older son recently did a paper on south korea and how some teen suicide deaths there are from the pressure and well, I guess one of the proposals he uncovered was one to teach more humanities and more inter/intra personal skills. the pressure is so high everywhere though – whew –
There is a lot of pressure on teenagers it’s very scary!! I like the idea of them getting more inter/intra personal skills.
me too – and have a nice day and thoughts and prayers to all those who are greiving.. I was just reading about “loss” on a mother blog and this quote came up
No one ever told me that grief felt so like fear. I am not afraid, but the sensation is like being afraid. The same fluttering in the stomach, the same restlessness, the yawning. I keep on swallowing.
anyhow, my heart goes out to the grieving –
Thank you so much
