So today, my English teacher was really depressed-sounding. I can tell when he is and stuff, I guess. He talks a lot quieter and softer when that sort of thing happens. Usually he talks fairly loud and I don't know. You can just tell.
So today I found out that one of the students in our school tried to commit suicide. I don't know if it was last night, I'm guessing so, but he tried to hang himself. He failed, and instead, is stuck at the hospital, in a coma. He crushed one of his lungs in the process of the attempt to hang himself. I wonder what his parents think. They're probably devastated.
Why he tried to do it, I really have no idea. That kid, I wouldn't expect something like that from. But like they say, kids are unpredictable. You can't read a kid like a book just by looking at their face. His name's Peter Sargent.
I do think it was really selfish of him to try and take his life, though. Especially like that. I'm sure he'd rather be dead right now instead of in the hospital, in a coma because he crushed one of his lungs since he decided to try and kill himself. Hey, I'll give him some credit since he had the guts to try that. Most people who say they're going to do it, don't. Maybe at the last minute he decided against it, and the rope slipped. I don't know how it would have crushed a lung. But I'm not a doctor, so. Who knows.
The way my English teacher talked about it, he made it sound like he really had killed himself. I guess not though. A lot of people made it sound that way. Until I heard he was in the hospital. I wonder if he'll be alright. I'll pray for him, as hard as I find it to do so.
Along with that news, appparently yesterday near Walworth, people found the vice principal of a Rochester school, I guess, in his car. He committed suicide by shooting himself in the head. He had a chronic illness, I think? Isn't it nice to know that he so selfishly took his life, after he had impacted all of these peoples lives? Maybe he didn't know it, but still. I have no idea why he did this, I never knew the guy, but let me just say.
Suicide is NOT the answer. No matter what problem you have. I guess I can understand a little though, since he had some sort of illness. Maybe it was putting him in a lot of pain and he felt if he killed himself he wouldn't have to deal with it anymore.
I don't know, but I'm just full of depressing stuff like this today. Sorry. ♥
