Young people take too many risks. Especially young men and boys.
Very sorry for this 17-year-old and his mother and family.
I hope his mother doesn’t see this thread with all these terrible comments. When I was young, I witnessed young men and boys hold guns to their heads and pull the triggers as a joke. Luckily, those guns were empty, but all it takes is one mistake. Whether this young man made a mistake or committed suicide on purpose, I am sorry for him and his family.
Putting a loaded pistol to your head and pulling the trigger wasn’t a “risk”. It was a combination of self-loathing and bad judgement.
