its sad.

but at the same time pathetic that someone who has such a famous father and has all the financial and social opportunities to go far in life would just throw it all away, because of something trivial(i dont know the reason for the suicide but i bet each one of us has dealt with much worse problems ourselves)

^ you cant say that, because if they're calling it suicide, and we're all still alive.. well then.. you figure it out.

Just because he gave in to the pressure and killed himself doesn't mean we've never been through anything worse.

Just defending that point, not the fact that he kind of diminished what the guy must have been going through.
