Starting off, I pray that Johnathan, wherever he may be now, can rest in peace. I hope he's found whatever he was searching for, and I wish you all great strength in dealing with his loss.
Our school district - around the Mill Creek area - has some sort of curse, I believe, in that we have at least one student who passes away each year, likely because there are so many of us. When I was younger, we had one student from the high school who committed suicide because he was bullied. I did not know him, nor have I known anyone who has committed suicide, but I am acquainted with people going through difficult times in their lives who have considered suicide, and I'm afraid for them every day. I myself am a much stronger person than I once was - there was a time when I wished for nothing more than death, and that is not an easy place to be. I cannot claim to know Johnathan, but I think he was one of the best kinds of people, and perhaps one of the kinds who hides their troubles from others. Some of us are just... weaker, inside, and the world can be a very cruel place.
My prayers go out to all of you, and if there is ever something you need to speak about, I'll be here.
