The student remained in critical condition in a hospital Tuesday as classes resumed at La Salle High School.[/quote]
that's fucked up. good thing he survived, i suppose
What a selfish way to do it. He's likely gonna feel even worse when he comes around.
there was an attempt why even go through the trouble to pull this kind of thing in front of your class
Damn, that is a fucked up thing to have happen in school.
[QUOTE=eddy-tt-;40478792]What a selfish way to do it.[/QUOTE] How?
Now that's just selfish of him to do it in front of a classroom and possibly traumatise his classmates.
Well, depending on how you look at it, he might have wanted to go out in a way people would remember him (I.e. the shit you keep hearing about with school shooters) and give himself some sort of closure, but it doesn't take into consideration how much he's putting his classmates and his family through that he literally tried to shoot himself in front of them, and then make them all live with that.
[QUOTE=imMonkeyGOD;40478825]Now that's just selfish of him to do it in front of a classroom and possibly traumatise his classmates.[/QUOTE] You think he didn't do it for a fucking reason? It would take something to push you to attempt suicide infront of someone, let alone a classroom of people.
[QUOTE=James xX;40478806]How?[/QUOTE] Because he did it in front of a room full of students, which means he probably doesn't care about how others would be affected by this. Although to me, it looks like he was trying to prove a point, maybe he was bullied. Either way, I hope someone can talk him out of his suicidalism.
[QUOTE=James xX;40478806]How?[/QUOTE] "My life is shit, everything is shit, better show how shit it is to everyone else" Basically if someone goes and offs themselves infront of other people, they either do it cause attention for themselves or they don't care about the effects it'll present to over people. It's selfish.
Oh man, here we go again with the selfish claims. I hope the kid gets the help he needs. No one should suffer suicidal ideology or the mental issues that ensue.
[QUOTE=cueballv2themax;40478843]You think he didn't do it for a fucking reason?[/QUOTE] Right now we have no idea why he did it so his reason could be anything. Regardless, it's a dick move with the intention to hurt others by making them watch your 'suicide'.
At least he didn't shoot anyone...
except the one person he did shoot y'know, himself
Jesus Christ what is it and people trying to end their own lives in front of others? You're doing much more than ruining their day. I've known kids that have had weeks of sleepless nights after seeing somebody throw themselves under trains, and that's nothing compared to shooting yourself in the head in close vicinity to others in a classroom.

Must have been the most boring class ever.

Either way, I hope someone can talk him out of his suicidalism.[/QUOTE] He probably DOES care how others would be affected by this. Which is why he affected others. Maybe as 'payback'. [QUOTE=eddy-tt-;40478921]"My life is shit, everything is shit, better show how shit it is to everyone else"[/QUOTE] Do you not understand what depression or being suicidal is? It's not to spite people, it's about pain. [QUOTE=eddy-tt-;40478921]Basically if someone goes and offs themselves infront of other people, they either do it cause attention for themselves or they don't care about the effects it'll present to over people.[/QUOTE] Yeah, you can cash out on all that attentions since you're dead right? [QUOTE=imMonkeyGOD;40478926]Regardless, it's a dick move with the intention to hurt others by making them watch your 'suicide'.[/QUOTE] It's a dick move to hurt others in general.
If you want to kill yourself do it in a way that doesn't intrude on other people's lives. Thank you.
[QUOTE=James xX;40478968]Have some empathy for him at the very least.[/QUOTE] People who desire to kill themselves in public/gruesome manners are honestly not so much mentally different than your average sociopath, except instead of killing other people to go out in a public attention-whoring blaze of glory they kill themselves to go out in a public attention-whoring blaze of glory I can't empathize with someone like that at all. He's quite literally an asshole that has zero standards and understanding of acceptable public behavior. The fact that it was an attempted suicide as the means just means that he wanted to do something that was way over the top while also killing himself. That said he needs help and I hope he gets it. I don't want to say he deserved to die or anything because he didn't, and I think he's a dick, but these are things that can be fixed and helped in the future.

Still, sad though. At least he didn't go the usual route and try hunting them down.[/QUOTE] This is probably an excpetion of course. I.E. instigated suicide by his peers so this is his way of showing power over the situation. But I doubt that was the case here. It sounds like he just wanted off himself in a public and brutal way.

[QUOTE]The student is a junior and an honors student. He made the top honor roll on the most recent academic report and has been active in Boy Scouts. School spokesman Greg Tankersley said he has an extensive record of community service, and has been "highly involved" in school life.[/QUOTE]
[QUOTE=cueballv2themax;40478843]You think he didn't do it for a fucking reason? It would take something to push you to attempt suicide infront of someone, let alone a classroom of people.[/QUOTE] I kind of want to know why I am guessing him being treat like shit could be a reason
[QUOTE=James xX;40479143]Who said that he was doing it to get attention?[/QUOTE] why does anyone do anything in front of other people? you think he actually thought offing himself infront of his class mates was the obvious thing to do? you may be in the same class of mental stability if you believe so
[QUOTE=Pelican;40479189]why does anyone do anything in front of other people? you think he actually thought offing himself infront of his class mates was the obvious thing to do?[/QUOTE] Maybe he did it because he couldn't do it at any other moment? It's as if you are grasping at straws here to prove that he did it to show off. In the article, it clearly shows that he was at the higher end of the class, and would obviously have known better. [QUOTE=Pelican;40479189]you may be in the same class of mental stability if you believe so[/QUOTE] I don't appreciate much the insult. If you think my opinion is wrong, argue your point without resorting to insults.
[QUOTE=James xX;40479143]Who said that he was doing it to get attention?[/QUOTE] Why do you have to quote that he was an honors student? So if somebody who was struggling at school did the same thing it wouldn't be as significant just because he wasn't an honors student? Just shows how you know nothing about what you're talking about.

How do you fuck up shooting yourself in the head?

Reading it would be a good idea. [QUOTE=WeekendWarrior;40479340]Shooting yourself in front of a class isn't something you do to show off.[/QUOTE] I know, this is the point I am arguing...
