. . . What does suck is that we had an eighth grade kid today shoot himself in the head at school during lunchtime in the bathroom. A real lot of people got guns around here, even women have conceiled permits and carry them in their purses or with them when they go for a hike out in the woods on trails for exercise...we have some cougars, wolves, packs of coyotes, and bears around here.
The kid could have taken one of his parents guns...Why did he choose the school to shoot himself at? Why did he shoot himself....they were having a cop give a speech about bullying in a class when he shot himself. When stuff like this happens it is concerning. The kids were sent home from the highschool, and they don't have school tomorrow either there. That is a tragedy, I wonder what led the kid to do this. His poor parents, I wonder what is going through their minds today. I wonder if he had siblings?
Well, technically it is now after midnight, so it was yesterday. It happened at an Ishpeming high school, about twelve miles away from my house.

My guess would be he was bullied, and his parents ignored his pleas for help. And/or abused at home?
He didn't feel heard , and didn't see any way out of that
I struggle with suicidal thoughts often, but I'm an adult , for a child to go through this ugh sick sorry world we live in.
