How/Why did He Commit Suicide?


On the kid's suicide...
Avenue student Luc took his life--the one who took "for granted" how huge his parent's house was

Anyone else curious how/why he did what he did? Could it have been pressure? College rejection? Rich people problems?

My mom equates money with happiness and doesn't realize how mutually exclusive they are. I recall when a billionaire in Houston took his life way back when and I talked to my mom about it. She said "he didn't have jesus in his life because there's no reason to be depressed AND rich"
ugh  I disagreed and argued there are a billion reasons to be depressed. (Hell, even that billionaire Madoff investor took his life...okay it was after he lost a billion, but still.)
I remember there was a poem in my English class junior year of high school that stuck with me. The Richard Cory poem.

Whenever Richard Cory went down town,
We people on the pavement looked at him:
He was a gentleman from sole to crown,
Clean favored, and imperially slim.

And he was always quietly arrayed,
And he was always human when he talked;
But still he fluttered pulses when he said,
'Good-morning,' and he glittered when he walked.

And he was rich - yes, richer than a king -
And admirably schooled in every grace:
In fine, we thought that he was everything
To make us wish that we were in his place.

So on we worked, and waited for the light,
And went without the meat, and cursed the bread;
And Richard Cory, one calm summer night,
Went home and put a bullet through his head.

Imdb erased 8 years worth of reviews and message board posts b/c my comments were too real. F IMDB!

No because it's an answer given by someone other then the affected person.

Rest in peace.

If you have to title and author your quotes, they aren't worth quoting.
