    Just heard one of DS's year mates tried to commit suicide the other day.
    What would make a 16 yo want to commit suicide?
    So sad.Poor girl & her poor parents.

    Evening all, I got two new clothes props - one green and one blue :( (I am a terribly "matchy matchy" person) and some of the mythical hookies for hanging coat hangers more securely on the line.

    I also spent about £50 on food in Morrisons and M&S (eek). I did treat myself to some Liptons Moroccan tea bags - smell like toothpaste tho (spearminty smell) so I'm not sure they were a good treat. Fingers crossed the tea tastes better when it cools.

    Am v tired now. Need to put another load of washing on so I can hang it up in the morning, and do some housework and eating. Or just sit here surfing the forums... :o

    It just makes me feel bad to think someone can get that low with nowhere else to go. Very sad, I hope she gets some help. Sometimes you just have to count your blessings when you hear something like that.

    :o beanie, sorry, your post was not there when I posted my waffling

    Very, very sad, I'm not sure anyone can ever explain why it seems a good idea to the person concerned - especially when they are so young.

  • That's very very sad. I hope she gets all the help that she needs. How is your son coping?
