its actually a serious matter (Score 1)

First of all to those who joke..its not a joking matter. To those who advocate suicide awareness groups, discussion, and prevention..my props to you. Just wanted to say how devistating suicide can be, not only to the obvious victim, but also to family and friends..My brother took his life last summer, he was an American..genious student..had everything going for him...needless to say it was devastating. I hope people will not treat suicide as taboo, as it is a seriously impacting decision that can be prevented. Please consider your comments before posting.
