Why does he need sympathy? Because each life is of infinite worth. If others could only realize that, we would be better off in every possible way including economically, and in turn ecologically.
Why do I assume he is confused? Because he is a 14 year old kid. Years back I had a friend who committed suicide at age 15. He had great family and friends, was a super nice kid himself and seemed to have everything going for him. At such an age how can someone be anything but confused if they want to end their life?
I have no knowledge about your experiences with suicide. Never claimed to. The questions I posed were more of a way of saying that I have experienced those things, and from our vastly differing viewpoints I had the feeling that our experiences may not be close to the same.
I don't have time to write out a full reply, but when I accidently submitted a blank message with a title of "Because" I did not want anyone to think I was being merely childish. I will finish this reply later if I feel an additional reply is warranted. Have a good one.
