Never Blow Off a Friend in Need

Glad you got it off the chest man.

vibes to everyone that has posted whats been going on with them lately and anyone that will post in the future.

Just remember that however low you get, whether suicidal or something else, someone has been in the same situation as you and has gotten through it. If they can, you can.

And everyone who isn't going through a hard time, dont be a dick and make fun of anyone cause it could be the last straw. No one deserves that.
 
+ Vibes man.

Good message, I guy I knew just did commit suicide last week, gassed himself in his car. Wasn't a good friend of mine but was my best friends brothers best friend, he'd just finished highschool and it was 2 days before end of school exams for uni placements real shock to everybody. Just need to make sure you're there for the person and listen to them, especially guys you need to talk about your feelings if you're feeling down because I guarantee there will be someone out there who cares about you.

all us skiers got ur back man...i ride over at okemo, come through some day bother, we can shrock shred rails allllllll day
 
glad that you didnt do it man. + vibes
when i was around 6 my grandfather, who i was really really close too, committed suicide right before my brother and sister came to town for christmas. His wife has died before i was born, early 90s, and had been struggling with depression since then. he was a retired nypd detective.. Fuck i miss him so much
 
one of the nicest things I've seen on newschoolers, makes things sound a lot more meaningful than "+vibes." Thats quite a deep story, hopefully it makes people on here realize that there are much more important issues than what most end up worrying about.
 
Every once in a while i feel like i stumble one of "those" threads on newschoolers..
The ones that kinda put your life in perspective and make you think..
This and 1337's depression thread did that for me.
Thanks and ++++vibes
 
When you feel like giving up, remember why you held on for so long in the first place. Don't let stuff get you down, always know that there is a perfect day tomorrow that hasn't been tarnished yet. And you can pull through it. I mean some people have friends. I have literally no good friends, people i hang out at school but outside of school nothing. Just realize that it doesn't matter how many friends you have but how you go about life yourself.

+vibes man, don't be afraid to ask for help/talk about it. We all struggle in life, thats what makes us human.
 
that just made me tear up a little... i am kinda getting that same feeling. it sucks because my mom is going through depression, only see my family at night for like 2 hours, and one of my best friends just started hating on me and i have no idea why.
 
++vibes homie, and yes like it has been said...no matter how hard it may seem to believe you always have a place to talk on NS...always here for ya bro.
 
dude you're in middle school. you've got to realize you have your whole life ahead of you and stop listening to that bullshit about having to do stuff at a certain age or you're a failure. to sum it up, if you give in, MTV wins. don't fucking let that happen or else we're going to fucking kill you.
 
this thread has really gotten to me.
man, im so sad right now.

When i got confirmed at church, i was set up with this old man, i didnt like him at first sight, he was old and had trouble walking. but after spending some time with him i got to like him, he was just like me, we got in debates while we drove places and we went to eat at local pizza places, wendys, wherever. it was a cool relationship. his name is Bob, Bob and i were becoming friends. him and his wife brought me to theater productions at a local university. i have not been a fan of going to theater productions but, after going to a few i got to like them. Bob and i were then really close. after the plays ended over the summer and i went to camp, i didnt see him all summer, then he called me and told me he was sick. he was going into the hospital for open heart surgery. i had no idea what to say. but the way he was talking sounded like he was defs gunna walk out of the operation room and skip home. so i wasnt worried. he told me to call him back, i couldnt, so i felt really bad about that. then i sent him an email while he was in the hospital. I havent really spoken to him all summer so i thought i should shoot him an email. then a week goes by. driving home my mom tells me that bob passed away. i didnt feel it at all, i didnt believe it, i couldnt believe it. when i got home i went to bed like nothing happened... 2 weeks later i was talking to a friend of mine and told her about bob (1st time i told anyone about him). thats when it hit me. i balled, i have never lost anyone or anything other then my cat and a my grandfather when i was really young. so this hit me like a train. this hit me really hard, right where it hurts. the worst part was what was on the email. on the email was a list of things i have planned to do with him once he got out of the hospital, a list of his favorite things.
that was the only time i have ever lost someone close to me.
After that i couldnt handle grade 11, all the pressure was on to get amazing marks and get into an amazing school. but all i could do was sit there and dwell on the loss of Bob. i was fucking up all of my courses and really pissed off, i have been an honor student since, forever, and now im fucked. I was getting even more mad when i was thinking about the future with these fucked marks. i really was afraid of the future, i was afraid of not doing what i wanted, i was afraid of not being able to do what my parents have thought i could do. i was so afraid of the future, i was willing to just not face it at all, just end it.
But today i was walking to school. i slipped on ice. i got up looked around and saw a little bit of snow on the ground. a great smile was drawn on my face as i thought about skiing. im no longer afraid, all those thoughts, i guess, were knocked out of my head when i fell. Im fuckin pumped to ski, im fucking pumped for the future. im stoked for the first time in a long time. today has been the best day of my life. has skiing saved my life? i dont know, but i like to think that way. thanks for reading this NS.

See you guys on the slopes this winter.
 
yeah dude we've all been though some rough times, people can be dicks just stick through it will eventually get better man +vibes
 
vibes man.
Just so you know, no matter how hard life may be at the moment, it will get better. You're only in highschool, you have a whole life ahead of you. Stay strong bro
 
RIP Davie this is hitting us all pretty damn hard. this year i am most certainly skiing for fucking davie, the radest little shredder i knew.
 
I've been there man.

Never lost a friend, but I've had everyone move away, leaving me alone. I was only in grade4 or 5 at the time. I had no friends at school, I was bullied and I couldn't take it.

One morning getting ready for school, I somehow got in an argument with my parents that sent me over the edge. I did threaten to kill myself.

From then on, till grade 7, I had a "Big Brother", I'd meet with my big brother every week. We'd talk about school, things I liked, and he kept my mind of things of previous negativity. It helped me a lot to know I had someone that is my age now (19-21), to look out and take time out of their lives to make someone else's worth while.

After I moved to Golden in grade 8, things turned around for me. I was reunited with my childhood best friend. High School can be tough guys, it's not the end out the world though.

I got through high school, almost forgetting about my past at my old school. I walked out of high school with the best friends I could ever have.

It's a dark thing of my past, that I have never told anyone. Here I am posting it to the community of NS.

To everyone out there, it's not worth it. Many people love you, you do make a difference in the world. You have so much potential.

Here I sit in a new town now. I moved here alone, forced to call it off with the girl I was with cause we couldn't do the long distance. My first month of school/living on my own was depressing for me.

Here I am now, third month into school. I have a new best friend in this town, and a lovely girl (that skis), that I'm with. I'm very happy. Always have been, always will be.

Stay strong man.

 
+vibes

just remember that you NEVER die alone

especially after watching the suicide forest video and personal experience from a kid at my school hanging himself, if you kill yourself everyone will suffer

even if it doesn't seem like it, people do care about you

 
vibes and karms to everyone who posted on here...its pretty sweet that even tho we might hate on each other in other posts, we can all come together and help each other out...for me thats what skiing is about, getting together as a unit and having a good time
 
wow man +++vibes.

and i thank you for posting your story. newschoolers has never really been a place for emotional support but this post really shows that us NSers really do care, and when it comes down to it we are all people and care for one another. look at everyone else coming out with there problems. if it wasnt for you, im not sure if they would have gotten such positive feedback. your so right in saying that we should watch what we say to people because we have no idea what they're going through, and i think NS should take this to heart.

bottom line, god bless you man and thanks for stickin around with us. be happy for every day you've got, and no matter how shitty life seems, it always has its way of working things out. way to be. peace bro
 
glad you pulled through man. NS is here for you. God bless your friend who made you stop. Fuck the person whoever said "sticks and stones, may break my bones, but words may never hurt me." Words can do as much if not more damage. I just think it's amazing how a whole community of ppl who don't even know each other but are bonded by a passion can come together as a group and feel for the OP. Behind every computer there is a person just like you.

+++ vibes dude, respect gos out to you for staying strong, no matter what dude we all care about you as cliche as it sounds, but what you just wrote made me cry it was so touching
 
thanks guys but i didnt want this thread to be about me, it was for my friend so that no one else falls on deaf ears like i almost did.

what really scares me is that he went from saying "i might do it" to "im going to do it" and that one event changed that. No one will ever know what it was but it could have been very small. You never really know how people feel deep down.

RIP Davie Kluge
 
Sucks that he ended it. teen suicide is so sad because they have so much of their life ahead of them. Glad you didn't do it just remember man your high school experience is 4 years but suicide is forever +++ vibes
 
Thanks for the post, this whole thread really help me look at a few things differently.

Ive been dealing with alot of problems within my family recently. My cousin went missing hitchhiking to a friends place on august 21st. Since then there have been many searches done and theyve almost done everything they can other then a reward to find him that this point, but havent made much progress. It really eats me up inside when I start to think about how close we were. Its hard not to think of the worst, but I dont what to think otherwise. I guess I just dont know what to do sometimes and it scares me. But, when I'm skiing and around friends/people I know care about me, things start to make more sense. It makes me realise that unfortunately things like this happen in life, and were forced to carry on. I know if he were around he wouldnt want me to stay upset. Itll just take time to accept things, and thats why its important to have caring people around you.
 
Sometimes we all feel shitty and worthless, but it's best to just tough it out. Better days will always come. Glad that you're here.
