Feb 2013

One of my uncles killed himself with carbon monoxide fumes from his car.

Mr Pipi's niece...17 years old did the same thing.

A local boy...19 years old... hanged himself two weeks ago.

Three men I know...a son-in-law, my brother, and a cousin...all committed suicide by alcohol.

People slowly kill themselves every day by eating shitty, greasy, artery-clogging food.

They kill themselves and others by texting and driving.

Smoking.

People bent on killing themselves will find a way to do it.
