BB DOT COM SUICIDE

This made me sick. I don't even know what to say...

http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/news/world/us_and_americas/article5203176.ece

that's just awful, i'm pretty much speechless

I live just a few miles away from this area. It has caused a bit of stir around here this morning.

I'm thinking that some new laws are going to be proposed. For this guy, too little, too late no matter what happens.

I read this on a few boards and the rude remarks towards this young man are just horrible. People making fun of him, calling him names,etc.

The loss of life is not something to be taken lightly. I am praying for him and his family and this really touched me a lot. I have been through a lot in my life and fought depression...still do. People do not realize this is a disease and a chemical imbalance in the brain, not a way to garner attention. What's the point in trying to get attention when you are dead??

I'm deeply saddened by this and hope his loved ones can recover and he will R.I.P.

And please, if anyone on this board ever feels deserted or overhwlemed, reach out to me, TYSR@aol.com or 937-272-3581.

Your brother in Christ and life,

T

Tim, merit to you my brother!! More of us need to have an outlook like yours, this isn't something to be taken lightly and we need to face facts, I see it all the time in my profession (firefighting) as well as in the gym, people may not be as self confident as others and instead of building them up a lot of people tear em' down and it's unacceptable.

I'd also like to echo Tim's statement and offer my email sjdesrochers@gmail.com and cell 603-726-1993 if ANYONE ever feels this way!

Thanks Hillc11! I bet in your profession you see this a lot! great reply buddy!!! Glad to see people are on the same page as me!

I do see some stuff that I wish nobody ever had to.

On another point, I think this hits me hard especially because up until about the summer before my junior year of high school i was the typical chubby kid, i hated school until junior/senior year and if it wasn't for having family and friends who knows where i'd be so when I see stuff like this it brings me back to those days and makes me want to help.

The story is kind of confusing. I was not in the misc section that day, but this is what I learned before his thread was deleted:

He made a thread about "ask a guy who is going to Overdose anything"

he proceeds to link to a webcam site(justin.tv) and the rest of the story is history

The story is very sad and he also had a kid he left behind.

I spent some time reading about it this morning. I was shocked when i heard about it. Truly saddening.

Yeah, bb dot com will continue to talk about it for a while. It was strange yesterday how the site was shut down for hours.

I see this almost every day in my line of work. It truley does rob you of alot, let alone the person who left. Pray for him & his family members to make it through this terrible time...
God Bless...

Lespclwrfr-what do you do for work?

people are messed up! I really don't understand how people can egg someone on to take their own life, then watch it happen and do nothing.

President... my friend was telling me that the feds shut down the site for a little while to check everything out. The thing that gets me the most is all of the people that egged him on. They had no respect for another human and they called him names and told him to do it instead of trying to help him. it was almost 5 hours before someone called the police.

This is just horrible. You don't ever know what someone is capable of....what someone is REALLY feeling or thinking....so to encourage death to a person who is struggling and has thought about it....is just freaking WRONG. Death should't even be joked about with a seemingly happy person.

That is just horrible..I feel very sad for him and his family...I too pray that his family can deal with this...What was it that made his life so bad???We never know what someone might be going through.And what was it that would lead them to this?I feel that we all should take a lesson from this,you should always be kind to anyone that you meet in a day stranger or not.Go that extra mile to be different that anyone else,you never know if you will effect someone in a very positive way by doing that.And if you see a wrong being done to someone never be afraid to stand up for them...Show love and compassion...

I first started reading about this last night and it kept me awake most of the night. I posted it this morning on my way out the door so I didn't have time to really comment. Even if I had, I am not sure what I could have said. I had a three and a half hour drive home this morning and spent some time thinking about it. There is so much wrong on so many levels it's nearly impossible to wrap your mind around it.

I think the biggest overriding emotion I feel is fear. I have teenage sons and cannot help thinking how this could happen to anyone. I am very involved in my kids lives and I think I have a pretty good handle on what is going on in their lives and in their heads...but maybe this kids parents thought the same thing.

I don't remember feeling this way since Columbine, when I was also out of town. I just wanted to get home and hug my boys. This is a tragedy of monumental proportions.

Have you ever read the bb.com forum posts?

A large amount of their members are just jackasses. No offense to those that post there, because I do myself sometimes. But seriously, it's a world apart from here.

My point being, the RA members and ON should be very proud of this community.

Merit to you Tim

Allan you are referring to the "misc" section of bodybuilding.

Ive seen some pretty terrible stuff in supplements as well
