Another teen took his life this weekend. Jamie said he couldn't take it anymore and wanted peace.
“From the outside, he looked like the happiest kid. He was always smiling and giving everybody hugs in the halls,” said Steph Wheeler, a close friend who had known Jamie since the pair were in figure skating together as children a decade ago.Jamie wrote a lot in his blog. There, he talked about the troubles of being gay, his medication and how he just wanted to be accepted.
Jamie had struggled with depression in the past — Wheeler said she’d talked him out of committing suicide several times — but despite how he felt on the inside, Jamie often put a smile on his face, setting aside his own pain for others.
“Even though he was feeling down all the time, he always made everybody else feel better,” she said.
A gifted actor and singer — he loved Lady Gaga, Adele and Katy Perry, and posted numerous videos of himself singing on his personal YouTube channel — Jamie wrote a month ago that he was looking forward to taking dance lessons this winter.
“Something to look forward to,” he wrote.

I remember when I thought about killing myself. I was really a FUCKUP, the I got to thinking...what if I fuck up my suicide? I'll keep on going.
I feel a lot of these kids and adults need GOD. We Humans are not meant to be alone.
Here is the way to fight BULLYING, of any kind you must teach children the OPPOSITE... = AFFIRMATION. Great US program set up to do that Here is report from local paper how one of our HS did it! Imagine if you had done something like this in HS?
