It's a little disturbing but, this story which I thought was a hoax in bad taste has turned out to be true.

I belong to another forum where people post the craziest things and the forum is also over run with trolls since it has over 1 million users and just as many threads.

Here is a link to the story, it is also on a few other sites around the world.

I will be back to put my input in and tell what I thought after a meeting at work.

This is how it started - his suicide note from the bodybuilding forum. Note the deep depression in a 19 year old.

To Whom It May Concern,

I am going to leave this for whoever stumbles across my bookmarks later on.

I hate myself and I hate living. I think that if someone who knows me reads this they will know who I am. So I will leave this unsigned. I am an @#hole. I have let everyone down and I feel as though I will never change or never improve. I am in love with a girl and I know that I am not good enough for her. I have come to believe that my life has all been meaningless. I keep trying and I keep failing. I have thought about and attempted suicide many times in the past. I used to think of my failure as some mystical way of telling me that I was really meant for something meaningful. The only thing I dread, besides the pain, is the way my family will suffer. I do not want my mother or father to think that it was anything they did that lead me to kill myself. I never really had any plans of leaving a note. I thought that I would not be able to describe why I want to do this and I am right. There is no way to tell you or anyone else why I dread every new day. My father had such high expectations for me and tried to give me every opportunity to improve upon myself. I let him down. I think that I am a major disappointment to him. I have a job but I'm always broke and I am in college but barely, I show up to class but that's about it.

I want my life to end. I am tired of f@#$ing up everything. I am tired of people always telling me that they do not like me. I am tired of trying to be decent. I hope that someone finds this post and I hope that my parents know that I f@#$ed up not them. It is my fault I screwed up my own life.

The hate that rages within me, rages not for those I love so dearly or those who have crossed my path. This hate rages full force towards me and only me.

I have long forgiven those who've hurt me, but I have not and cannot come to terms to forgive myself for the things I have done to myself, and the things I've done to hurt those in my life.

You have all touched my life in one way or another, especially those whom I call family.

I cannot tell you how sorry I am for ending my life the way I did. I hope that you can all find it in your heart to see it as way for me not suffering anymore and that I am finally at rest with myself, for being at rest with the guilt that constantly ate at me for so long.

Please forgive me all for taking my own life so early. I tried so hard to fight against this strong battle. I have reached out for help so many times, and yet I believe, I was turned away because of the things I did, that it is a punishment I am willing to take, for I know that being who I am has only brought myself and others pain.

I love you all and will forever live within the memories we created. Forgive me.

Love always and forever,

As for my signature I will leave you with a quote so that if anyone reads this they will know it's me, "Can't feel pain if your dead. Just Saying"

Just shows how desensitized our youth has become. There are so many instances of 'fake' suicides on the net, and so much violence and cruelty. With this plus the previous suicide threats and attempts, it's really not a wonder nobody took him seriously. The sad thing is, maybe he was hoping one of them would. I truly feel badly for his family, I too have had to come to terms with something like this when my sister killed herself on Easter in '06, if someone is going to do it, they're going to do it, but in this case I truly think it was a cry for attention, that he believed someone would stop him. This is just so sad.
