This Is Disturbing...

[The Apocalypse]

I'm willing to bet your not laughing and this post is a poor attempt at controversy to garner yourself some attention to boost your flagging self esteem.

It worked! Congratulations.

Um..I did laugh.

It's true, I can hear him

Um..I did laugh.

I can hear the echo from your parents basement.

I don't live in a basement!!! It's a pretty ****ty one might I add.

wow.... people today worry me.. its one thing to not try stopping a person from jumping off a building, but to encourage it? god that's disgusting.

and for those of you who feel nothing when reading this? what the hell happened to you? we are all human beings, that should be enough for you to at least feel bad for him. How would you like it if things got so ****ty for you you contemplated suicide, and your last 3 hours on earth were people trying to convince you to do it?

are kids today honestly that jaded and desensitized? If you honestly feel nothing, you probably should worry about that.

 

[spideyboy_1111]

No. I simply think that his actions make this less a case of people mocking him for no reason. Because lots of people get depressed, lots of people attempt suicide... not all of them hop on top of a building during the day while people are out and threaten to jump. If he really wanted to kill himself there are a lot less public ways to do it... and if he was just doing it for attention... he got it. The problem being he didn't get the attention he wanted and that probably made his cry for help into actual suicide.

What did he want from those people? Sympathy?

in cases like his, public suicidal deaths usually are to "show the world" what they've done to you... make them feel sorry for making you feel awful. In his case, it's obviously something he thought about, but probably deep down didn't want to do, he probably wanted caring people to stop him, instead, he got the opposite, he listened to the kids, not the police, and jumped. sure suicide isn't right, but its still ok to feel sorry for those people. In fact, its human to.

The article states that he suffered from depression and had a break down in a relationship. Sometimes, victims of that illness tend to make over-sweeping generalizations about their current predicament. It sounds like he internalized some of the blame for the demise of his relationship and did something like this. Maybe he felt that he couldn't function after that, or maybe he did this as a way of hurting the other party, whomever that is.

Sad story. Sometimes pressure of any kind is a real *****.

but its still ok to feel sorry for those people.

I didn't say it wasn't okay to feel sorry. I was just suggesting that this case isn't one of the ones to feel sorry about.

The kid got dumped.... couldn't handle it... climbed up on a ledge for attention just like you said, "to show the world what they did to him". But that's a pretty s**ty thing to do over something that happens to people every day.

Imagine how the girl(or guy) feels right now, knowing that they were probably the reason for that. Think they feel good about themselves? What if they were right to dump that kid and he just overreacted?

Man, humanity sucks. Bring on the Skrulls.

 

[November Rain]

meh, there are wrongs on both sides.

suicide victims have been seen to be attention seekers so we've grown weary of their ways. Saying that he ultimately got the attention he wanted, just not in his lifetime with his reported death.

Still no matter what the problem, you can always talk to people about it. It's not like he's in the depths of asia with aids in the middle of a typhoon struck village where everyone he loves has died.

he probably got a B in Maths or something...

 

[Knightsaber Priss]

My God...this just absolutely astounds me. I am shocked...what has happened to humanity? Why are we delighting in the misery of others? This is just....sick....

 

[Why Are You Crouching Spock?]

Perhaps he had depression or other psychological problems of wich there are many, that he may not have been even aware he had?

Perhaps the majority of people in the world (and many in this thread) know nothing about mental health but like to pretend they know how every human mind works.

If he was pushed off I'd think it's horrible, but if he wants to take his own life, let him go right ahead. I have no sorrow for anyone who takes their life because no matter how much they believe that 'their life sucks' there are always other options.

When he fell, lots of people were screaming and crying but there were several groups of youths who ran from behind the cordon and looked like they were taking pictures with their mobile phones.

Wow. Just wow.

the point was, from what it sounds like, he didn't really want to go through with it, why hesitate for over 3 hours? If people had not been telling him to jump and mocking him, and instead, trying to help him, maybe he wouldn't of went through with it. That is the sad part.

Well, people are *******s. I've really come to expect nothing more from people today. Still though, it's silly to kill yourself, especially with people egging you on to do so.

See people like you are only concerned with the action HE took, your looking at it as simply a suicide.. when the real tragedy is that it could of possibly been prevented... but people TAUNTED him.. told him to jump, and then had the nerve to take pictures of it? dude that's so incredibly horrible, can't you see that? there's a good chance he could of been saved, and they decided to verbally push him off the ledge.

Check what I posted above.

Wow, people taunted him?!

well obviously he had a mental problem, not to mention he was a teenager, and that can be confusing as it is growing up, i wont justify his suicide, but i at least believe in people enough to not expect this from them. Just because you expect this from humanity, doesn't mean you shouldn't feel bad that he possibly was pushed off that ledge by it. I honestly don't see how someone couldn't feel bad about it.

 

[Gilpesh]

That is the sad part.

We disagree. Oh well.

 

[SLVRSR4]

Wow, people taunted him?!

He gave in to peer pressure
