BGHS Students Deal with Suicide in School Bathroom

This should be a clear reminder to the parents that more has to be taught to children about life. Life is not all about about getting good grades in school in order to have a good job when they graduate from college. Life is not all about financial success! Parents have to teach children about the importance of having as much of a positive impact on the world as possible. Kids should be taught the importance of standing against evil in the world. Once you make the money your rpime goal in life then you are open to join in with the evil ways of society. Depression comes from kids not having the drive to live. The drive to live comes from having positive goals throughout life that involve the elevation of humanity.

well said...

So what do you think about the kids that want to kill themselfs `couse of their parents` problems?

Or may be if the parents are angry to the kids `bout their grades?Is the person who killed himself guilty for it?Why do every body think that if someone kills himself it`s all his/her fault?Why do people blame them for that?Why no one understands them?`Couse parets say "why did she/he died and hurt us so much" and they don`t understand that they`ve made our lifes awful and how to make them understand this?

Messenger you missed a major point: The only purpose of life is to make money, marry somebody, pass on your miserable genes, and leave a bit of money to your offspring. And yes, life is all about getting good grades in school, because otherwise life does not follow after graduation. You're not very smart, you know, because you finished off by contradicting yourself: "The drive to live comes from having positive goals throughout life that involve the elevation of humanity". Damn right. So quit your contradicting and shut up for a second.

While we're here, does anybody know how long it would take 50g of excedrin to kill somebody, or if this is enough? I spent $10 on this stuff and I want it to work.

We grow up, we fuck, and we die ... Just because you state something as a truth doesn't mean its true. Speaking authoritatively doesn't change the fact that both are beliefs and nothing more. I personally choose life. Sure it has its downfalls but for every abyss there is an equal high and satisfaction gained from hanging in there, to see the colors of life

reading this i thought of my friend....his name is jeff. he's the reason theres this topic. um it was february 1st. that day was...the worst day of my life. um i havent cried in awhile. right now's the first time since the day after his funeral. yeah, i miss him. i love him and hate him. he was the funniest, happiest, nicest guy ive ever known. but on the otherhand, he had so many friends. why didnt he talk to us?? it makes me so mad and sad thinking that he thought no one cared for him. the day after he did it. our school was silent. hallways, filled with tears. everyone supported each other even if they didnt know them. we were all in pain and still are...i cant say anymore. its too sad....I love you Jeff and always will. We are all still missing you....2/1/06

well atleast he had REAL friends.I have cut my veins 5 times for a week, I tried to talk with a friend of mine and he sait "that`s stupid i don`t wanna hear more bye" and I donno how can I still be alive...

I also knew Jeff Really well. He and his twin are the kids that everyone is friends with at school. But it is a known fact that prescription drugs were a huge effect on his death. He was on no drugs atht the time of his death, and that was his problem. It made him feel at his ultimate lowest. He was the third suicide in our school in 2 years. 2 days ago, we had our fourth. I know that life can really be rough sometimes. I've been through some really rough things and have thought it might be better just to die, and I think that's normal. But I've always been able to logic myself out of that. There is nothing in life that should ever make you want to commit suicide. There is always someone there to help you, you just need to look for them. And the first place I would suggest would be your school's guidance office...

I didn't know jeff that well I just herd alot about him and thing like what a good guy he was and how funny he was..... I DID how however know Christian Benner and now that he is the 4 scuiced I am begining to belive that healing is not gonna be as smooth a process

I'm the brother of Christian Benner. My brother loved life and he never meant to hurt anyone. The way he died (if you even know EXACTLY how he did it) the coroner said he could have gotten up and walked away at any time. If anyone has ever been choked out or passed out.(excuse the way it was put) but you just dont know its coming. He took it to the very point where he passed out and after that happened there was nothing he could do. My brother didnt mean to kill himself. He mearly took life to the very edge which i know many of us have been to that point to where you can do it or you dont do it. My brother mearly passed out and unfortunately the way he did it...it took his life. I'm as close to the truth as you can get and this is my word. My brother loved life and loved his family. I have a great family and there is NO reason he would have taken his life. He had a horrible day, but it wasnt bad enough for him to take his life. If my brother meant to take his life he would have told my VERY loving mother and the rest of us goodbye or have made contact in some way. He didnt leave a note or say anything to anyone besides how he had a bad day. If Christian Lee Benner meant to take his life he would have had something to say about it. If anyone knows him at all they would agree. He would have told all of us!
Besides that unfotunately we have had some "attempts" they are mearly a cry for help just to tell everyone that their lives arent okay and they are not happy. EVERY single one of them had made contact with someone which goes to show that it was only a cry for help that was taken a little to far. My mother Christine, sister Brittany, sister Seirra and I had went to Christians OWE class to talk to the kids on Monday to try and put an end to all of this. We are trying to be constructive with our unfortunate situation. I have made a trip personally to Elmwood High School where Christian previously attended and spoken with the principal Tom Bentley, the high school counseler and the sherriff trying to resolve this. We have opened up our arms and our homes to anyone who needs someone to talk to. I would like to appologize to everyone on behalf of my brother Christian. He didnt mean to start this. He didnt have any "warning signs" and he enjoyed life. Christian is up above kicking himself in the ass for this i will tell you that. If anyone needs to talk to anyone or knows someone that needs help getting through this please let me know. Feel more then free to contact me through my email address. DeRock022@yahoo.com. If so needed i will give you my phone number and i will do everything i can to help. For now enjoy life and the ones you love. You never know if today is the last day.

Derek is right... there is no reason anyone should feel the reason to do this to themselves. it hurts everyone around you in ways you will never be able to explain. when i drove from arizona to go to christians funeral i was sure my life was over i wasnt sure if i should be mad or unbelieveably sad. it is wrong the way all this happend and yes sometimes unbelievable but we all need to be stronger because of this. you may have loved him but do not follow him. he wouldnt want that. he deffinalely loved life and had so many dreams to look forward to. hold on to you dreams never let them go just because you had a bad day... tell your loved ones i love you everyday it might be the last.. and for all you who knew christian you knew how much we loved eachother and i wont ever forget it. you have a piece of my heart christian till the day i die... i love you christian lee benner and i pray for your mom, dad, brother, and your sisters everyday...

my friend really cares about this but I dont want him to ok so im cutting he says hes really scared but frankly im not i cant wait to do this in fact im gonna try tonight.

My brother was best friends with Jeff, he was at my house just a week before he killed himself, laughing and having a great time. Drugs did play a roll in his death, he WAS on drugs before the innocent. My brother was at Jeff's hospital bed before he died. We all loved Jeff and I wish there was something that we could have done to help him.

Hay, um well i known jeff for years and when i heared of what had happened i fell to the ground crying a non stop crying i didnt get to say bye or anything but jeff was great persone brillant person wouldnt change him for ayhting♥ love yu jeff ever and ever no matter what♥!
