Guest guest Posted January 31, 2004 Report Share Posted January 31, 2004 hi everyone!! havent posted in a while its been a little crazy here, everyone was sick with that stomach bug and then we had a death in the family. my 14 yr old cousin passed away very tragiclly! i know this is not rss related but i just needed to talk about with people that i consider very close friends. my uncle found him in his room, he had hung himself in the closet. they are now thinking it was an accident. kids are doing some stupid things now to get a rush or high. they hang themselves or choke each other. needless to say something happened while he was doing this and he choked to death. i dont mean to upset anyone with this depressing news but my uncle and step-aunt got to wrapped in there own problems and werent seeing the trouble that there child was having with dealing with the problems at home. (they also have 3 other kids) he was a good student and athlete and well liked. he just started to spiral downward when things got messed up at home. we all need to make sure that no matter how upset we get or how bad things seem they really could be worse and we have to remember not to lose track of what is going on with our kids emotionally and mentally. and to get them help if they need it. i am sorry to burden you all with this but i am just so upset and mad that this wonderful boy has left us like this! just need to vent! once again sorry and please give your kids a big hug and let them know you love them! jodie (nicholas-5 nonrss, christopher-3 rss 22lbs 33 " , johnathon-7m norss) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted January 31, 2004 Report Share Posted January 31, 2004 Jodie, This happened to my brother's good friend's son just two weeks ago! How eerie. I did not know about the getting high thing. Hmmm... I'll have to tell my brother. was the same age as your cousin. He lived in or near , NJ. Very strange coincidence.
