I can't help but wonder if something else happened in this girl's life that everyone is unaware of. She was described as friendly and outgoing, but her parents said she had changed when she came home for winter break. They said she was very unhappy, but refused to quit school. It just makes me wonder how someone who refuses to quit school despite being extremely unhappy being there takes the next step towards this.

The unanswered questions are what make these types of situations so hard to understand.

It is quite possible and she didn't want to say what it was. It also could very well be the high expectations she had for getting good grades. Not obtaining the high GPA she was accustomed to doing and demanded of herself to feel she was great.

Many things and people can play a part, and can leave those left behind questioning themselves about any role they may have played, or what they could have done more to help. It is a devastating event for any family and friends to say the least.

chronic depression and suicide doesn't necessarily happen because of "something" happening specific. a lot of people going through depression just feel helpless about themselves in general really. Particular negative "things" that happen to them just adds on to that feeling of worthlessness and builds up to a point where being happy again seems unreachable.

It's also a lack of serotonin in the brain, which is basically all happiness is really when broken down scientifically. That's where the mental health issue come into aspect. Most people are able to level out the good with the bad. a person's brain with chronic depression, it's thought by some at least, is perhaps unable to release the correct amounts of serotonin.


I don't know. Every person is different really. That's why it is impossible to narrow down what causes suicide in every case. There is way more to it than I said as well. I couldn't tell you specific, solid reason why my dad did what he did.



edit: yea sorry if that's super personal ha
