Yup. Steve was only 15. He has aspergers and trusted EVERYBODY - didnt understand the concept of 'not being nice' - it was a so-called 'friend' (they all closed ranks after....) having a laugh - he was an easy target....trouble is, now he trusts NO ONE. All very sad.

Aww this is such a sad and difficult thread, but it's good to see how people have coped and may offer some inspiration to others or make someone think again if they thought spiking drinks was funny.

Takes more courage to live.

its good to chat bout it even after such a long spell.i was very wary of telling people when it first happened and tried to keep myself busy by trying to do the usual stuff drinkin seeing friends ect but that made me worse.

It's a bit too personal for me, really, this sort of thing. Not something I would talk about in a public forum on the internet.

Well personally never thought about it ............. the reason being my borther attempted when is was 16 ......... because he was afraid to tell his family he is Gay .......... and my Dad actually committed suicide when he was 38, 17 years ago, because my Mum had an affair ............ so no i have never and would never contemplate it because i know the damage it does to your family ......... x

That's what I like about these forums Moose, we can choose not to post in which ever we dont want to be involved in. Not like in real life conversations when you got to either awkwardly steer the topic elsewhere, or tell the other person outright. Yep, that's defo the best bit about having lots of threads here - for me!

I sort of wish I had not posted this subject as the subject matter has had such an impact on so many.So I apologise if this has upset anybody please feel free to ask for it to be shut down.

I think that it is a rather good subject for discussion really.
As long as we all don't start discussing how we ARE going do it, or start discussing doing a mass suicide attempt, then keep it going.

Even I am beginning to get a little bored of the 'kiss chasing and playing silly games' (as AM kindly put it).
I do think though that there is room for both serious subjects AND the 'junk' too, I'd like to see everyone happy on here......

Not that my opinion counts here, my superpowers don't work in this section

No I don't think it should be closed, as lilacrose said, people can choose whether or not to post, or just read.

I'm not a believer of 'burying stuff under the carpet' this thread may help someone somewhere. Confronting difficult issues takes courage and I respect so much those people who have shared their experiences.

Well thanks for the response people.
