Yeah, putting it that way does sound really bad. However, I would do it as a form of honoring him. Just saying, it's possible that he's not the only dreamer that has his suicide planned. Faster we get this problem solved, less suicides there will be, in my opinion.

RIP Dreamer

To be honest with you I am not even surprised. This was bound to happen one day or another. Those key senators who voted NO in December have affected a lot of lives and are fully responsible for this.

I can't understand why you could commit suicide. Sorry I just can't. I'd much rather live in a foreign country than kill myself. The US isn't that great and the rest of the world doesn't suck that much.

It's a tough thing to swallow for 'reasonable' people, however you've got to understand this kid more than likely didn't just wake up one morning and said fuck it. Most suicidal individuals go through a rather lengthy deal of depression; depression that changes your brain chemistry and quite literally makes you somewhat crazy (being in a clinically depressed state is a kind of crazy). Some people don't realize how their bodies deals with stress/life/problems, and not seeking help or taking steps to turn that around can be well, permanent....

For many, the realization that opting out means your body is acting crazy and thus in need of clinical attention doesn't click. We all have our mood swings and our good and bad days, but this is a different thing altogether.

Like I said I am not surprised. Shocked yes. Not saying that I'm suicidal myself or have ever been, but I am going to admit the idea has crossed my mind in the past when I was down and out. Some human beings are just not as strong hearted as the rest of us and just can't take the shock of not having something they deserve. It's very difficult to explain this idea to a Dreamer who has been living here pretty much all his/her life. Some of us are lucky to at least live half of our life in our home country so we can easily adjust back there but many were brought here when they were 2 and so on.
