So my mom told me to switch out my laundry, I did and when I walked in the living room she told me to sit down. I was thinking oh no what did i do! , or oh jeez shes gonna hound me for not talking with her much. But I didn't know that what she was about to tell me was A LOT bigger.
She told me that a student she taught 2 years ago, a Senior, shot himself. So many things were running through my head, like how'd he do it? or was it really himself who shot him? But whatever really happened wasn't what was important. So this guys name was Zach, very smart Gifted and Talented all that jazz. Had a lot of friends, was very popular among class mates and seemed very happy.
But as it turns out he almost never talked to his mom and dad. He thought school was stupid because, well, he was so smart. He never did the assignments, but the times he did they were exceptionally well my mom says.
Now here is where it involves me apparently. My mom says that me and him were very much alike. We both had lots of friends, didn't talk to our parents often, and didn't always do our assignments. Now here is my argument, I LOVE school, I know I can talk to my parents when I need something, and overall I think what he did was dumb. It is sad to be told that one of my moms students was killed, but I think suicide is dumb. I think of suicide as an escape plan, a desperate escape. And by that I mean your to pussy to pull yourself together and handle it.
So thats what happened today. It really sucks cause my mom was in tears. Anyway what do you guys think of suicide, comment below what. I wanna hear your guys's thoughts.
