It takes balls to keep living your live, to adopt to changes in it, and to overcome them. Taking your life is pretty simple, and is often done on impulse. People who jump off the bridge don't think about water being equivalent to solid concrete, they think about their poor little lives, and how much worse they have it than anybody else. People who take their lives are selfish, because they only think about what's good for them.

4) You don't know what this kid's past is. Maybe he wasn't out to his parents. News reporters that interviewed a friend said that he was very shy, introversive, and it was probably really hard for him to confide in someone, especially if he was scared to come out to his family (this is a MAYBE, not a definite)

I don't care about his past, life goes on, gay or not. So he is gay, what has changed? Wal mart will be open tomorrow, sun will come up, and I will have to go to work, again. Man up, and continue your life.

5) "So people found out, what's the big deal?"? Imagine your world being flipped upside down in an instant and everything you thought you had control over was suddenly spiraling out of control and there was nothing you could do about it now. Your own personal armageddon. Now everyone knows about you, rumors are spreading about you, snickers behind your back (possibly)
|
I'm not one of those people that cares about rumors, so I wouldn't care about people talking behind my back. As far as my world being flipped upside down, well I laughed, because you have no idea. Just trust me, it has been flipped, re-flipped, and then I flipped it some more. I'm still here, I could blow my self away with a .45 but what fun would it be if I don't know what happens at the end?

6) Imagine the mental stress and psychological damage this did. It isn't some everyday hazing or college prank. The kid thought he was safe, secure, and trusted his roommate, above all else. And in an act of "humor" the roommate antagonizes him by making fun of his sexuality or his interests

Everyone of us is damaged here, some way worse than others. But I don't see a reason to off yourself. There isn't ANYTHING in this world that you could say to me that would make me take out my gun and blow my brains out. And as I said before, people who commit suicide are selfish, they will never have my sympathy. Hell, they can be my family member, and I will still "hate" on them. In fact, I do.
