Suicide
Another student whacked himself. Hung himself. Last one shot out his guts with a shotgun.Less than a month ago. This one was a Junior in High School. I feel incredibly bereft.
I feel your pain. I was a youth minister and had a student shoot himself. It is sad. I cried for months. The church game me no support what so ever. One of the elders said, "Why did this happen if we had a youth minister?" I felt rejected by the church and God. I was angry at God and ran from God for almost 18 months. Did everything I could to rebel. Then God found me again. I am striving to reach out to the emerging generation who needs Jesus Christ. I want you to know that my prayers are with you and these families. In Him, Kinney Mabry If you need to talk my e-mail address is mabrys@swtexas.net I am praying for you. May God strengthen you with all His power and comfor. May you feel His love.
Suicide is the worst, for so many reasons. Losing two friends to suicide and then being a therapist, I can honestly say that the my heart aches as it is the worst crime against one's self and the ones that they leave.
Been there done that, with most things.. ex bible college, mom, innovative, non traditional "baptist",recovering fundamentalist, trying to do right-be honorable, and faithful to What God has for me.Cancer survivor, Major Car accident survivor--have plates and cadaver bones to prove it!! LOL. Really like great chocolate. Give me a turkey..I'll grill it. Put a rack of ribs by me..they are Barbecued, I HATE MICE. I"m a Landlord, Business woman, Teacher, Community Service Rep. Like Car shows, cooking, beach and sun. I have been blessed, and have more than I ever thought I would.
I am waiting to go to Russia to help convert Orphanages to Foster Care homes.
I have 3 urchins when I was told I would never have any.

Suicide is a permanent solution to a very temporary problem. Sorry to hear that.
So young; life hadn't even started for them. This is just ver, very sad.
