I can't believe he killed himself. What happened that brought him into going through with that? When my mom told me he died, I freaked! I cried like there was no tomorrow. But I'm fine now..this happened 3 years ago.
But still, doesn't anyone know that suicide is not the answer? Of course I attempted..but who doesnt?? The point is that I didn't do it because there are better things to do. If he was pissed about something, he should've talked to someone about it..I mean c'mon!!
Anyhow. Sorry if I'm not making any sense. I'm very tired right now.
What were your reactions when you found out about this dredful news??

i know what you say, from yesterday when i found out what's happened to one of my teen idol. i remembered jonathan's interpretation in "it", from stephen king's best seller, or in never endin story II. i can't understand this death, jonathan and me are almost the same age. sometimes there are hard times in the life, but a guy, like jon, who rapresented a sort of example, for my generation, i think he had a responsability. but i think he was a victim too: a victim of a world like hollywood that it uses people when it wants, but when it never need you, it soon forgets you. from the articles related this news, it seems that i was depressive for his descends career. we can't know the truh.....but i can't forget his delicacy and the melancholy of his eyes,in every movie of him. HI JONHATAN, YOU'RE FLYING HIGH AS IN THE DREAMS OF THE CHILD WHO I WAS AS IN THE HOPE OF THE MAN WHO I'M.
