Two jocks in my graduating class pulled a cruel hoax on a drunk classmate at a party. The classmate committed suicide the next day. And the two jokers followed within 5 years. Very sad.

Yes, that is very sad. My father once told me this story: When he was a kid, his class took a trip down South which was segregated at the time. There was only one black boy in their class, and everywhere they went, he was separated from them. After the trip, the boy killed himself, and their teacher read his suicide note to their class. It affected my father profoundly.

I'm sure everyone has been touched by at least one suicide in their family or their town, etc. It's so terrible because it never has to be that way. There's a solution to almost every problem, and there are ways to handle the hardships in life.

“There’s a solution to almost every problem, and there are ways to handle the hardships in life.”

And suicide doesn’t solve any problems, it only creates more for those you leave behind.
