Message Teenage Lad Sent To His Friends Before He Was Found Hanged

[Default]

tl;dr

Having just completed his GCSEs last summer, 16-year-old Thomas Gallagher had a bright future ahead of him and high hopes of studying at Oxford.

However, tragically, just hours after sending 'thank you' messages to five of his friends, he was found hanged.

To one girl he wrote: "...tu est fantastique don't go changing for anyone,".

Another message read: "YOLO don't let people go bossing you around..."

He also sent a message to a third friend thanking them for 'being there when no one else was'.

so emotional m8

Sad to read but reality is as it is. Life can't be suitable for everyone.

That's a very selfish thing to do, imagine what his family/friends must be going through. Suicide is never the answer.

Of course it is selfish and all but seeing that he went to lengths to escape, something must have been severely wrong in his life. And sadly he wasn't able to take it.

It's horrible to hear stories about people who have committed suicide, and what they did in their last hours living.

If anyone is here and they have severe depression and/or have suicidal tendencies, know you aren't alone, and that people are here to help you.
Suicide is never the answer

That's horrible. The article said he had Psychosis and OCD. To get high grades and maintain a bright life must've been hugely difficult for him, as it says he already attempted suicide.

Respect for him. It's so sad to see someone so bright dying.

That's the reason I've never given in personally. No matter how bad shit gets I always suck it up and keep going. I may be cold but I'm not cold enough to put what little people may care about me through the troubles that suicide brings.

why why why is he doing this, thats just outright selfish.

think about the people around you, live for them and yourself.

he doesn't deserve any sympathy, so do i xD

"According to M.E.N, the jury heard how Thomas had battled psychosis and OCD and had previously self-harmed and attempted suicide."

For those wondering why he killed himself.
