That day is so vivid in my mind. I can relive it, not that I would want to. Not that anyone would want to. On this specific day, my friend, at the age of 14, took his own life. This is something that changes you, especially when you're young. At the funeral, someone said something that helped me get over it extremely quickly though; "He was going to do it whether he was 14 or 30." It made me realize that yes, he was going to do it. It was better he did it then then if he had a wife and kids. The entire ordeal was extremely difficult to go through. It still affects me too. I no longer think about that day on a daily basis, but every once in a while, it comes back. On the bright side, I have become a much more mature, caring person because of it. I have also started to notice when people act different than normal too, and I always make sure they're doing okay. You never know when someone needs you. thenewgreen: Thanks again for listening when I needed you to.
Thanks again for listening when I needed you to.
My pleasure. I'm sorry to hear about your childhood friend.
