Truly heartbreaking.

Im very sorry for him but I have to say suicide is the most selfish thing a person can do. I know he says that its not the case in his note...but I still think so.

He should have instead killed the person who molested him.

 

that would've been murder and he would've done time behind bars and face more rape.

 

He didn't sound like a vengeful person in the least bit. He sounded like a person living in his own personal hell, looking for a way to escape and end his misery.

Suicide is selfish only because it hurts the people close to you. If the people close to you have hurt you already, why should he change his course of action for them?

By the way, I don't think anyone who hasn't gone through the type of abuse that he had can offer any sort of reasonable response. I really can't even begin to imagine what he must have been going through, nor do I wish it upon anyone else. Anyone saying "he should've done this" or "should've done that" without being intimately familiar with his situation is just speculating on a life that has been pushed so perversely away from what we know that we'd just be guessing blindly at best. Thankfully.
