The grammar is horrible. This is an American high school student? Even for an informal site like Facebook, the English is horrendous. This guy should've never passed middle school English class.

Yes, there should be a requirement to pass a grammar exam before one is allowed to kill oneself.

Attempting to address the issue now, now knowing any mroe about the case, I'd like to know

    a) was the student on anti-depressant medication; and

    b) was he being bullied at school for appearing to be gay/effeminate?
