Err, what? You don't think it was your problem, but you made fun of him all the time? Sorry, but it kinda was.

That being said, you don't have to really care. If this guy killed himself over being made fun of, he did have problems. Was he, like, fat or something?
 
Oh, okay, so it wasn't your fault.

But, wait, if he was anorexic, wasn't he just fat? Did people make fun him because of this?
 
No, anorexic.
Like I said, I pretended to be his friend for the past month, so he basically forgave me...
srry, but...thats being kinda of a dick. srsly. You don't feel bad, even though you might have caused this stuff to happen? I would feel terrible. But then, I don't want to say "YOU SHOULD FEEL TERRIBLE", so idk. But, why did he say he was gonna commit suicide?
 
No, people made fun of him because he had no social life.
But him being anorexic was a trump card in arguments.
And he was going to commit suicide because he was tired of everyone making fun of him, and he was tired that no one except for 2 people would stick up for them, and most of the time they're never around.
 
Wow. This is sick. You are seriously a dick dude. People who suffer from serious mental issues should not be taken lightly when they say they are going to kill themselves.

Y didnt you stick up for him?
srsly. he confinded in u saying that he is gonna kill himself, and you do nothing?
 
so you turn into being an asshole to him after being his friend for a year, then go back and "pretend" to be his friend again, and this was the guy everyone was an asshole to

...

and you say people celebrated the suicide?

jesus christ
 
I was the only one that didnt.
I was still in shock.
I'm still recovering from the shock and disbelief
But yeah, the people at my lunch table are total assholes.
 
Well, I have 4 options;

Stay with them because they're my true friends in school
Sit with the emo chicks
sit alone (hell no)
Or get myself lunch detentions so I'm always in the office (also, hell no)
 
Well, after reading that I'd really hate to be your friend.


I've seen a couple of these things happen but I don't want to talk about them. Although maybe you heard about the kid who ran away because his parents took his Xbox 360 away? (stupid story I know) Well even though I never meet the kid, he lived so close to where I am now.
 
this thread is just sick. I hate to contribute a post to something so terrible but I just have to say that's pretty awful. I mean stuff like this wouldn't happen if people were so selfish. Does anyone ever stop to think how much it sucks to be picked on at school? I was four feet tall in grade 10 and people bothered me a lot, and it hurt. When I finally grew to 5 foot 6 in early grade 12, people stopped bothering me. But I never forgot how it sucked to be picked on. There were a lot of weird kids I could have bullied, but I either invited them into my group or talked to them sometimes because I didn't want them to feel left out, because knew how it felt to be bullied.
 
I don't understand the point of this topic.
Mikaruge claims not to care and to have nothing to do with it, yet he insists on sharing his story with us. Sounds like guilt.

Has this ever happened to anyone else? I know it isnt likely many people will answer, but I'd like to know how you would have felt if this happened.
I'd feel like an asshole since it looks like I would have had something to do with it. By making fun of him, you were encouraging it.

I chose not to speak to him that entire day because I thought he had problems.
I thought he didnt mean it
You thought he didn't mean it, but you wanted his friends to talk him out of it and you thought he had problems?
And you didn't think it would be a good idea to let an authority figure know?

This is disgusting.
 
I gotta do a little one time post here.

When someone confides to you that they are going to commit suicide, it is completely up to you to try to get them to stop.

If you don't care, you're an asshole.

If you don't try to do anything, you're an idiot.

So, which'll it be? Note: It could be both!
 
First of all, I asked on of his friends to knock some sense into him. Secondly, I went to the Social worker and suggested that she starts seeing him. After that, I didnt speak to him the entire day.
 
Fact is, he told you, one of his only (I suspect) friends. If you weren't going to do anything, he'd lose hope and figure that no one gave two shits.

I'm sorry if I'm coming off as a dick here, but you really should have fucking done something.

I was four feet tall in grade 10
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHA

Why "Hell no" to sit alone?

Don't make any friends if that's the way you treat them.

Also why are you shocked? That's the only thing that shocked me about this whole thing.
 
uh ... ill bring this around and pop a new question: how do you personally deal with friends who you think are questioning about killing themselves?

I had a really good friend who 2 years ago, got a gun, went to his basement, and killed himself because his gf broke up with him on valentines day as well as his mom dying a week earlier. well, he was obviously feeling very depressed but he didnt show any signs of suicide (giving away possesions, making jokes about it, ect.) other than being depressed. I talked to him but he said he was absolutely fine and that he could get through it. i heard the news the next week. I thought talking to him about it would help him but obviously not. Sometimes i feel guilty about not contacting a counseler immediately or something but i knew my friend best and knew that he would simply refuse to talk to one as a counseler would just talk about his problems with him, give him something to help him with the stress, ect. I think he must have been happy though when he died and he left me a note at the suicide spot which read "thanks for everything man". 2 other good friends of his got notes. I like to think my talk with him helped him for a couple of days but i just wish i could go back in time sometimes and tell everyone i could that he might consider suicide.

i expect a lot of "man, what kind of friend wouldnt tell someone if suicide was a possibility" and you are right. I question just how good of a friend i was a lot of the times, thinking that i truly was a lousy friend for not helping him.

hopefully this story isnt so "...bleak" as the first one lol.
