the parents are so strong

i feel so sorry for you

[Gmancrap]

I doubt it. These kids have so much going for them. Why don't they just stop and think about that? Find help on campus, there are campus doctors...

@Gmancrap and you'd be wrong

[celshader]

I felt suicidal when I dropped out of college and I was very depressed from a long time afterward with serious mental health issues.

I am now a web developer and am doing fine now.

@Gmancrap shut up just cause you go to college doesn't meen yur happy sport to break it to you and maybe you should have gotten better grades

[Gmancrap]

I got rejected from every college I applied to, I doubt any college kid has any reason why he/she should be depressed about anything.

@matlab22 You're strong, not only 'cause, in my opinion, committing suicide is a tough thing to do, but also, to survive and have the balls to tell the story!... dude, If you survived to this hard situations, maybe you should think that you havent finished what you have to do in life! I mean..life is life.. just treat it like sex and f--- it ! : )

I am an electrical engineering student at a major four year university in the united states, and I have written my story about when I attempted and failed at killing myself. People need to be aware of this, and maybe one day we can make a change in this society. This society is created in a way where one size has to fit all, and that's why we have suicides, because not everyone fits into the higher learning situation. alternalife(dot)blog(dot)com to view my story
