<p>Palo</a> Alto Online : Gunn teen was smart, gentle, sweet, parents recall</p>
<p>Why did he do it?</p>
<p>I still cant believe it. I knew him somewhat, and this is completely unlike him.</p>
<p>It only talks about his life, not what happened in high school or what he felt that could possibly make this happen.</p>
<p>Death by train. Such a violent way. WHY?</p>
<p>Can’t deny it was a fast and almost guaranteed death. As for why, we’ll probably never know unless he opened up to someone before he passed, but there could be a multitude of reasons of why he did. What most people see of others is only a facade. And yeah, I have no doubt that the idea would have crossed my mind if there was a train close to my house.</p>
<p>Maybe he was a top CIA agent that died in a covert operations mission in the defense of his country. They covered up his death due to the clandestine nature of the op. </p>
<p>But seriously, some people hide depression and other signs of trouble very well… nobody dies on a fleeting impulse, they usually think about it for a very long time. </p>
<p>Or… he could have been murdered… it’s a possibility.</p>
<p>How do they know that it was not an accident? But yes, the way people act and how they feel are two completely different things; we all bottle up our true emotions at times. Very sad story :(</p>
<p>Although I do not attend Gunn, several friends of mine were very close friends with him and they said that he was one of the most intelligent and coolest people they had ever met. (Incidentally, two years ago he actually convinced one of my friends not to commit suicide. So my friend now feels very pathetic for not recognizing that he was suicidal). Furthermore, apparently this guy had one of the highest SAT scores at Gunn, a school that sends like 20+ people to Stanford every year…</p>
<p>probably an accident, not suicide imo</p>
<p>Thats really sad :[ This is so close to where I live too, just over the bay. </p>
<p>Suicide is so, spontaneous. Whether a person shows his thoughts of suicide or not, it doesnt really hit other people until after it happens, does it?</p>
<p>/b/ went too far…</p>
<p>I still have trouble believing it was him</p>
<p>What did /b/ do?
I bet this is on ED too…</p>
<p>The not knowing why will make this hard. It is particularly sad when this happens to someone so young with such a bright future. Someone that young doesn’t have the perspective to know that when things get bad eventually they will get better. Just hang on through the tough times.</p>
<p>what does /B/ mean and whats ED?</p>
<p>how are we supposed to know if none of us knew him</p>
<p>I saw someone at my school browsing college confidential, in a computer room called the AC.</p>
<p>Person, if you’re browsing right now and reading this message, please share your happy experiences and memories with JP if you knew him.</p>
<p>I played him in tennis before. It was funny because I was no match for him and I didnt even win a single point from him and he was kind of mean.</p>
<p>He was sometimes mean to me because I had to play doubles with him and I sucked and he called me lazy and wanted to do something else :-(</p>
<p>But its okay, I forgive you and we misunderstood each other. I hope you are seeing this message from Heaven.</p>
<p>lol gaylord
go kill yourself noone cares</p>
<p>“Can’t deny it was a fast and almost guaranteed death.”</p>
<p>I know a young man who tried to kill themselves by a shot to the head. He lived: and now has no nose and no mouth. He breathes through a hole in his throat. This is after manyl reconstructive surgeries. More surgeries are planned. </p>
<p>He’s glad to be alive, has friends – including a girlfriend – and is active in the community. He also wishes he hadn’t tried to kill himself. </p>
<p>Nuff said.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>That’s quite impressive (no sarcasm).</p>
<p>Just heard about the second one from Gunn. That’s so sad. So sorry you guys.</p>
<p>Wow, he’s originally from Berwyn (misspelled in the article) which is 15 minutes from me. That’s horrible :(</p>
<p>Wow, he’s originally from Berwyn </p>
<p>I was referring to this…</p>
