hey, people...*sigh*. This boy namesd Jake at my school killed himself last Friday. I didn't know him very well, but it still has had a great impact on me. It's made me kind of depressed, you could say, that a kid my age would take his life like that. Why does life have to be so fragile? He...he was one of the most talented guys I've ever met, and also one of the funniest. Not to mention, he was well-liked by many people. He just had so much to live for, and it just makes me so sad that he felt like there was no other way out. The worst part is that he had told people that he was going to do that, but no one took him seriously...I just wish someone could've helped him. I just got home from his viewing a little while ago...it made me so upset, as well as many of my friends. Well, just in case you all were wondering, he shot himself in the head with a rifle, so his face was reconstructed with putty and make-up. These girls kept touching his face and hands because they "felt wierd", and it made me so mad that they were doing it. It really upset me, too. Number one, it's called a VIEWING for a reason, and two, I see that as being really disrespectful. I mean, that's so...WRONG! I'm probably over-reacting, but whatever. It's just made me really upset. His funeral's tomorrow and I'm going...I just hope it's a little more civil than the viewing.
Jake, we miss you...
