At any rate, we seem to have reached the end of my character alotment, so I'll conclude by saying that having kids today is much more complex. Happily, he's doing great now.

So... is there anything that you can share with us that brought about his doing "great" now?
Originally posted by Kr0n0sFor the record (again if ive already mentioned it) my son and I share a close relationship.. Its actually so close, that its hard for me to stay out of his personal business but I do because i believe trust is essential.
He is even tempered, thinks things through and I could learn a thing or two from him about patience.
The only thing that i worry about, is his new found "first" love.
She seems to be a very great person, shes from Mexico but has lived in the US since she was 5, her Dad is some kind of Bio-Chemist that gets shuttled between El Paso and Corpus and her Mom is a Dr that does some kind of research in blood... All that stirs up my conspiracy (paranoid) nature but thats not for this thread.
Point is, they travel and move around the country a lot and I worry about what could happen when her family moves her away from him.
Loss of any love sucks but the loss of a first love can be devastating.

I'm truly happy for you, that you can't understand what it's like to be suicidal.

I despise people who commit suicide.
That's true, the ones left behind have an added suffering, but that's because they were not seen by the person that committed suicide as someone that would care and would miss him/her.

So by committing suicide a person not only kills themself but also those who love them die a little and are never the same again.
Weakness and selfishness.
We should not pity those who kill themselves we should pity those left behind.

Oh and there is such a graph and i found it interesting that some of the highest rates are in Russia, some of its former satellite countries (well thats not the interesting one) and a few of the Nordic countries, thats the one that surprised me.
The lowest rate was Greece @ about 3 per 100,000 people.

Boys 98% of the time it's a homosexual molestation by one of the spearheads of the aggressive gay "marketing plan" that didn't quite take!
