R.I.P. Mitchell Pratt

I just learned that a kid in my grade, at my school commited suicide after school today. He was in my last class of the day, i saw him, i even talked to him, if only for a moment. I didn't know him well, but still, it feels like I've lost a friend. The pain is crushing and I can't imagine what it must be like for those who knew him better. I would like to ask you to keep him in your prayers and send good thoughts about it. Situations like these are horrible and I never thought I'd have to experience one first hand. I really hope it doesnt happen to any of you. And one more thing, I just can't help thinking, was I one of the last people he saw and talked to? Was I??

Sylena,suicide is so hard and sad. I have lost a friend and family members to suicide. It is very hard on the survivors, so please keep good thoughts and prayers for your friend and his loved ones.

Oh my goodness, Sylena, how awful!!! I'll definitely be thinking and praying for you, his family, and all who knew him. What a terrible tragedy.
