So......this was a few hours ago now.

Learned a friend, Cedric, shot himself in his home in Boulder.

This was my best friend from 5th to 9th grade, when we had a little falling out cause he got pretty heavy into drugs and dropped out of school. In middle school, though, if I wasn't at home I was at this kids house.

About 2 years ago he was able to get clean, though, and get back in school.

I had hardly seen or talked to him since then, but when I did he was happy and seemed pleased with his life.

His parents said he was in a good place now too.

He apparently had bought his own gun, and his dad, someone whom I've spent tons of time with and was very caring and loving, found him in his room.

This is hit me pretty hard in a period that has been very stressful already.

It seems there has been way way way to much tragedy this year.

Everyone...please don't take life for granted.

Cedric Thomas Foster....Rest in Peace. I hope somewhere you have found some peace.
 
damn, sorry about your lost. RIP, it hurts to hear about people taking their own lives, i went camping with my aunts and stuff and their good friend brought her son, so we hung out for about 3 days or so, then about 6 months later i found out that when he was visiting his dad in NC he hung himself in his room...i don't understand how someone could take thier own life
 
A good friend of mine offed himself a few christmas eves ago with his ak after coming home from the bar, it really sucks but at the same time you have the comfort of knowing they arn't in pain anymore.
 
im so sorry that's really hard. Especially that you were so close to him. a few years back my cousin committed suicide as well. he had been messed up for years... as long as id known him really. sometimes people put on masks but inside they are really the most messed up people ever. It's so upsetting to hear this stuff. Im sorry for ur friend. rip
 
thats awful sorry to hear that. A kid in my cousins ton kild himself (fourth person to commit suicide in this town, this year)

but yeah i was in the hospital around 2 weeks ago and had fucked up things with my ureturs and bladder. and i got this surgery done and a week later i went home and couldnt pee (all i peed was blood, pure blood) so when i went back to the hospital i had to get this operation done and pretty much had to suck everything out of my bladder. so in conclusion, i really took life for granted before this happend, and with seeing all this suicide crap it just made me feel really down. But now that im better i see life in a whole new way and wont ever do somethin to jeprodize my life or someone elses life. until u have a incident like mine or even worse you dont really see how precious life really is..

again

i keep you and your friends family in prayer.
 
thats so awfull man. i really truely feel for you. the world is a crazy place and i know sometimes the pain is just too much to handel. i hope that he found the peace he was looking for. my condolences
 
wow man thats one of the hardest things to deal with

in sixth grade the kid that sat in front of me in spanish didnt show up one day and later we foudn out his mom had found that he had hung himself that morning
 
rip, i knew a guy who tried to kill himself twice once by drinking washer fluid, and the other time jumping infront of a transport truck. Hes alot better now finished school and getting back on track
 
dood i so know what you're going through and that is shiiiittty.

i just posted a thread about this exact thing only...with a few other issues along with it.

my friend threw himself off of a building. so messed.

your friend must have been deeply troubled and it's hard to understand how someone could do that to themselves. it boggles my mind anyway. but i think sometimes a feeling of depression. or overwhelmed blues can really get the best of you..especially if it has pressured you over time.
 
eally sorry to hear this man my brother lost one of his really close friends and i saw the effect it add on my bro and the kids fam its a really hard to see life is a wondeful thing just hope that every one can come to love life....on another note a really tradgic otem is that boulder has one of the highest suicide rates plz ev one sta strong hard times will come to an end
