Jarvis Collegiate High School student suicides yesterday evening

[trixstar]

Yesterday at around 5 - 6pm, a grade 12 Jarvis C.I student jumped out of his building. There was a meeting addressed by the principles and teachers whom gathered all of his classmates to further investigate the reason for his suicide.

Some students reported that he did not have much close friends and that he was unhappy with his grades. others reported that his father died when he was young and his mother and brother recently left him because of his school grades.

Jarvis C.I was hit hard today.. Everyone was completely shocked by what happened.

Overall, these were just some reported reasons that may have influenced him into doing so. There is no solid evidence to why he commited suicide. This was the path he decided to take and may he rest in peace.

* there is no news coverage.

yeah, its pretty freaky. low grades shouldn't be something to suicide about, they are so many alternatives to having such a great life. His mother shouldn't have left him.

His mother left him because of bad grades???

WTF is wrong with Chinese parents that cause them to be so judgemental of their kids? This idiot mother abandons her son due to bad grades, another chinese family demands their son leaves his GF because she's short, etc, etc, etc. I could probably go on for an hour just from cases I've read here on RFD.

Let's not jump to conclusions based on hearsay. Usually people have more than just failing grades to force them to commit suicide (although there have been cases of such). I would like to hear more details from a reliable source before making any judgment on the kid or his mother/brother. Got link?

as i said, these were the assumptions that were made by his fellow classmates today at a meeting. There is no source as suicides are not reported on the news.

Well then may he rest in peace. Although people shouldn't assume such things about the kid if they didn't even really know him (according to your what you said, he had little friends). In the whole grand scheme of things life goes on, just not for him.

Heresy =/= Hearsay

Kids have it pretty tough nowadays, always sad when one of them feels they can't live anymore though. Sorry to hear about your classmate.

apparently not

[mr_sandman]

the news, radio, print, television, etc. never reports on suicides with a few exceptions, its a policy throughout the western countries (and the world i think?).

either way, its sad ot hear of this news

At least he offed himself unlike the V-Tec guy.

I'm a former student of JCI and I'm really sad to have heard this. The idea of suicide really bothers me. I find it to be very disrespectful to the people who care about you. And I'm sure this young man may have had people who cared for him.

his mother and brother recently left him because of his school grades.

She's not gonna forgive herself now, if that was the case. RIP
