In light of recent events, which I will explain later, I'm back for a little bit tonight. Pretty cool stuff's happened since I took my break like finishing school (Only exams and necessary preparation left), got a suit, learned how to tie a tie, first (And second ;o) [Certain act containing things and ladies' mouths], and other such cool stuff. Heading to Sydney (Australia's main city, I guess, if you haven't picked up on that yet) tomorrow and doing some cool stuff there.

 

Serious moment. I'm not sure if he went through with it, but don't take Ben's farewell lightly, I'm not sure if it's the right thing to announce outta nowhere, but he was planning and maybe continued through with committing suicide. Not exactly the best thing to hear upon finishing school, especially not considering my girlfriend knew him better than I and I'm terrible at helping sad individuals, but that's a complaint I've always voiced.

 

I won't be on tomorrow, and it's unlikely I'll be on until the second of November, but have fun. I see you've done well without me.

 

if you know someone who plans to commit suicide.. you should tell people like teachers nd their parents so they can get help

 

that's my opinion.

 

I didn't know until around 4 today, as in two hours ago. By then it had happened, he texted my girlfriend a couple of hours before to say his goodbyes and plans and that didn't help things, she was quiet about it and didn't say, I headed off to another party she wasn't allowed to go to (Ancient class only thing) and she went home. I knew he had a bad life, as was determined quite a while ago, but I thought things had started to get better, apparently not.

Wololooo.

I have at certain times in my life felt like ending it all...

 

but when I was younger I was scared [cabbage]less of dieing.

 

and then as I got older, I got over my fears and decided to live life true to myself.

 

to live life without any regrets.

 

I hope ben doesn't do it.

I didn't know ben was suicidal or had sadlife.jpg, all I knew him as was that one dude i gave a free copy of portal to. How could one contemplate suicide when they've played portal? Or do you think the crushing disappointment of no cake, coupled with the guilt of killing the companion cube, got to him? I didn't know! I never would ahve given it to him if I had known! I'm sorry!!!

Well, yeah, his mum committed suicide, then his dad had a heart attack (I believe) and died a couple of days or weeks later.

well that sure does suck. maybe i should send him a copy of portal 2

I actually read a sucicide manga recently...

 

took me a while to shift through my web history looking for it.

she had a fairly stupid reason to commit suicide as compared to a bunch of other people who had "better reasons"

 

and she met those other people.

well, i certainly can't stop him, nor can i find him the sort of meaning he needs. I hope he doesn't go through with it, but that's pretty much all I can do

but instead of reading manga....

 

you should be following and doing what this website says if possible.

I fear it has already happened.

<_< can't you call him? if you know where he lives just go over and see if you can help?

 

 

sorry if i'm being pushy..

He lives in Sydney, so driving some six hours tonight isn't possible. The forums were my only place I talked to him.

have an admin change the thread description to "In memoriam: httpBen, </html>"
