i didnt know the guy or his friends or what was going on in his life, but i do have some things to say about what happend.

firstly, when it comes down to it we are all responsible for our own actions. meaning no one is truly to blame. people like to say, well i wish i could have done something or i wish i could have tried to stop him from doing it.

in the end it was his choice and he did it and thats that.

but, open your eyes. i would bet everything i own that he displayed CLEAR warning signs weeks, maybe even months or years prior to the date of his suicide.

what i am getting at is, if anyone reading this right now has ANY friends or family members that you suspect might be suicidal, or even going through a tough case of depression, talk to them.

dont be afraid to ask them if they have been thinking about suicide. if you are close to them, they will probably tell you and thats a clear sign right there to go get help for them.

the sad thing is, even though hes his own responsibility, it could have been prevented.

as i said earlier, i didnt know him or his situation, but id bet that his close friends saw the warning signs and chose to be optimistic about the situation.

id bet they simply thought, ah he will snap out of it soon enough.

and the fact of the matter is that some times people dont snap out of it. they get stuck in their depression and their options for coping run out.

sadly, that seems to be what has happened to this guy.

to anyone out there who has a friend at risk, dont let it happen to them. do everything you can to help them. and if they say they have been thinking about suicide, call their fucking parents for christs sake.

^I'll agree with you for the most part.

The littlest of things can make you depressed...and looking from a different point of view, it's really hard to tell just "how" bad it is. NOT speaking of Gage necessarily, but in a lot of cases, people that are suicidal hide their deepest emotions to almost anybody.

It boiled down to it, it was his decision. We cannot do anything about it, but hope the best for his family and pray that Gage is in a better place. I'm getting sick to my stomach to even keep thinking about all this so I'm going to stop.

Friends and Family of Gage - Stay strong.

this is speaking from my experience so YMMV.

at first you might think an outside influence or event is the cause of your depression, but really it is just a trigger.



whats the difference between a CAUSE and a TRIGGER? for example, youve been depressed all along and your girlfriend broke up wiht you, causing you to go into a deeply depressed state.

its not that her breaking up with you CAUSED the depression, its that the breakup triggered an episode.

its not as simple as changing your perspective, its a deeply rooted thing that may have no cause other than its simply the way your brain is wired.

thats what i think anyway.

In any case it could have been as simple as a chemical embalance lack of sleep drugs can do this too but not always the bad kind even acutane for acney can cause this. So its good to be friends with at least one person in life and try to be with one who has non no one should be alone in life it is so easy to make really good friends.

I agree with Ne0z SF sux just put brad sux and i like there afiliate ebay which is there sponser and they will ban you instantly.
