yomom Yes and these are kids who turned these quotes in back in November while still living their last few months as a "crazy kid". By now they are 18 and moving on to top colleges for their accomplishments. They clearly have real world skills and wanted one last care free comment in their yearbook.
Let's all back off and be grown ups. Let's let the kids be kids and enjoy their book.

If I'm going to work somewhere I'm going to work in an environment where I can thrive and my boss doesn't care about what I said in my yearbook .

CE3673 I AM A PARENT and have 1st hand knowledge of the journalism department. That kid WAS NOT suicidal.

Contemplating suicide in any form is not appropriate. Kids would think it a joke. Adults know better!

tarab72 So it was a "joke"?

BusyMommy I'll repeat.... it wasn't a joke in that sense.The kids lives life on the edge. The fun guy. Does a bunch of stupid stuff. The life of the party. His friends ask him why he does the things he does... his reply? I WANT TO DIE. That part is the joke. So he put it as his quote because he's always saying it. PERIOD. No death wish.

BusyMommy
" I want to die " DOES not mean " I want to kill myself " . " I want to kill myself " means " I want to kill myself "

THIS THREAD IS NOW CLOSED

tarab72 And a ******* who yells, "BOMB!" on a plane just for sh!ts and giggles doesn't really intend on blowing up a plane full of passengers, but...If you don't get that, I can't help you. Mercy.😩

Look this thread is now closed. I'm gay too. Moving on....
