lmao… Ohh im supposed to feel bad for someone I would have never met, who did a stupid thing a thousand miles away from me for attention. If you say or think “thats so sad,” then you give him exactly what he wanted. I know how the affects of depression can break someone down to their most basic form and make them think in unreasonable ways, but the truth is, there is always a better option than suicide. He did what he did as a form of entertainment (by posting it on the web) and I am fully entertained but not in the way he wanted. I will laugh at his expense because if I had done the same thing, I know there would people all over the world who wouldn’t think twice to laugh at me. And yes its ignorant to have never heard of a black person doing that right???(sarcastic)… Im not saying it has never happened, im just saying it is rare to me. ---

I read the entire 65 pages of it the day of. Apparently the kid had tried this stuff before as an “i’m an atttention whore look at me” type deal, which made a lot of people think it was fake. ---

Wow, all you people that are saying suicide is a cop-out should fucking deal with having depression or bi-polar disorder like this kid had and see how you are able to deal with stress in your life. Until you have a fucking clue about suicide and mental disorders, STFU ---

saddest thing was the letter to his family on the first page, made me sick to my stomach and felt so bad for him. I dont care if you dont know the person or not, but when someone is at their lowest point like that, you wish you could just be there and set down with the person and have them talk about everything that is bothering them. Call me a pussy or whatever but, I guess you just call it “feelings for others”. And for you idoits make comments like “I dont care, I didnt know him”, would you want someone to be there for a family member to just look them in the eyes and say, its going to be alright. The human race is really starting to shit the bed, seriously:meh: ---

It’s quite apparent the kid was kind of an attention whore douche in the past like I mentioned but I think the worst part is 4Chan is most likely going to have a field day torturing his parents like they have done to others in the past because they are all dick eating pieces of shit. Parents that have lost their child shouldn’t have to deal with stupid ass bullshit harassment like that. ---
