one of the ninth-graders in my mom's class shot himself last night. i really don't know what to say. i had seen him and talked to him a couple of times, thought he was very nice, knew he had some math trouble, didn't know anything else about him except that he liked to rap a lot. last week was his birthday. and today was the last day of school.
and he killed himself.
i really don't know what else to say, but i think somebody should be saying something.
i never thought my capstone would actually be relevant in this school. now i wish i had finished it. even though i know it doesn't actually have anything to do with anything, it bothers me that i had this project to prevent teen suicide and was too lazy and selfish to finish it. it wouldn't have made any difference. but i still feel horrible.
now....idk. it's awful.
does anybody have any thoughts whatsoever about this?
