Shocked and now depressed.....

This has got to be one of the saddest things I have read.

This eighteen/nineteen year old Chinese immigrant was doing an on-line journal at Xanga. He wrote about a class he had he was having problems with, he wrote about how he lived with his older sister while his parents were in China, he wrote about being sick, and about how he hated doing dishes.

After reading the previous two entries, I was wondering if there was some way to get food to him, because he said he was hungry and only eating once a day. His sister was supporting them while he went to college. So, I started looking for a name or clue to the College or something.

Then I saw 255 comments, almost all saying RIP, I kept thinking wait, he didn’t say anything about a family member dying. Kept thinking I missed something. So I started reading the comments. Then it hit me.

Very soon after posting this, the sister’s ex-boyfriend killed both him and his sister. This page was kept as a memorial.

I’m sitting here fighting tears, what a cruel thing to happen. He was so young. But at least he had the presence of mind to post this and because of it, they arrested the ex-boyfriend on murder charges.

Re: Shocked and now depressed.....

Thats terrible.....

Minah dont dwell on it, unfortunately things like this happen all the time all over the world... we rarely get to see the human side, weve been desensitized by the hearing about these things everyday in the news and on the radio... it ceases to be a tragedy.

I dont mean all that in an insensitive way, sometime you just have to try and make sense of crazy situations.

Re: Shocked and now depressed.....

I know, Daisy......

I think it was just the contrast between the writing (he was such an ordinary kid) and the sudden end. It was so unexpected......

He was oblivious til the end.

Makes you think about the suddeness of things coming to an end.

Re: Shocked and now depressed.....

That link is not opening here for some reasons, can you paste ?

Re: Shocked and now depressed.....

If you have a pop-up blocker, it won't, try copy and paste. I just tried it, it seems fine...

Re: Shocked and now depressed.....

I have that blocker thingie, but how to close that ?

Re: Shocked and now depressed.....

poor kid.. so young...

Re: Shocked and now depressed.....

Lets be positive in a warped kinda way
im glad he was oblivious to the fact that it was going to be his last day.

Re: Shocked and now depressed.....

Dada, try a copy and paste, that is easier since a number of programs have pop-up blockers now and a step by step would take too much time :)

You're right, Daisy, that could be a blessing in disguise...

Re: Shocked and now depressed.....

minah,
plz tell me what to paste and where plus how ? and how can I find that blocker things on my pc ?

Re: Shocked and now depressed.....

Dada, place the mouse over the link (the blue text in my first message) and right click the mouse - then select open it will open then. To come back here, press the Back button :)

Re: Shocked and now depressed.....
