He was only 15 or 16 years old. He was well liked, and was always smiling. He was described as always happy, and never seemed down. Last night, his girlfriend broke up with him. I guess he was too shocked and depressed to take the pain. He hung himself in the basement of his house.

I didn't know the guy (I don't think), but I know what it feels like to want to kill yourself, and it sounds like he didn't deserve to have that feeling at all. I feel sorry for his family, his now ex-girlfriend, and his good friends. I wish them luck in the coming months.
