sad news after work
« on: February 10, 2012, 03:46:59 PM »
So this afternoon when we all got back to the shop, our boss called us in for a meeting.  He tells us that there was a tradgedy in town this afternoon.  A coworkers son had shot himself in the face at school.  So i anyone could spare a minute and say a prayer I think him and his family could use it

Did he do it on purpose, or was he planning to shoot others?  If the former, then I send my condolences.  If the latter, a whole bunch of kids just got very lucky.

he only wanted to take his life, I am assuming he was being bullied. he had planned to do this a while back i guess but someone found out and his dad had to remove all of his guns from the house

His family friends and classmates have my deepest condolences. Him, not so. It was a selfish act in front of others his age and younger for attention. Those others have now all gone thriough a moment in their lives that will have changed them all forever. I do hope he lives because he will also no doubt be completely changed for his life, though he will be the only one that is better for it, and his family doesn't deserve this.
I did hear about this, he was brought to the hospital up the road from me where my wife works. This ius horrible for all those others who had to witness this.
My thoughts also out to you homer as your coworker will also be scarred from this and no one can truly ever know the extent of his pain.

He was likely depressed, and couldn't stand the pain any more.  Not everything is a test of character; everyone from housewives to athletic superstars can contract this debilitating mental disease.

That bullying and child-suicide is still a problem in this day and age is a serious taint on our honor as enlightened people and as a society.

It's actually worse than 20 years ago or more.  It's a product of the "parents not being allowed to beat some sense into their children" rule of thumb that is in effect today and it will only get worse.





Sorry for the loss of a life, but the parents are to blame.  I hope they feel like crap for the rest of their lives for being the cause of their sons death because they didn't bring him up properly.

well good news I guess, wife got bad intell he is in critical condition.  ya you are 100% correct the bullies are the ones who get protected, if a kid were to stand up to a bully and throttle him once, he can get assault and a criminal record all for defending himself. I am sure most have seen this video

the big guy gets in more trouble than the on who started it.  they say there was more to it, but I was in school 11 years ago and I remember how it was
