Did you read the story Aesa? The guy was suicidal because of recent disciplinary action.

I feel for the guy too. Hopefully he can find the support system he needs to help him resolve his issues.

I hope I can be as good of a friend as the one who was there with him, to talk him out of it. Sometimes it's so hard, how depressed and sad and overwhelmed we feel at times. My heart goes out to him, and to those who feel just as overwhelmed but do it privately.

The suicidal man was apparently upset over disciplinary action taken against him by The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.
Sad....just plain sad to see him in trying to take his own life.

I hope he gets the help he needs. Disciplinary action alone should not make him want to take his life. He most likely has mental or emotional health issues as well (and those issues could have also led to whatever caused the disciplinary action in the first place). I hope he will be okay.
