| Just found out that Marie Osmonds 18 yr old son has jumped to his death in NY. So so sad. A friend of our family knows Marie so I am sure to hear first hand all about it. Just hope paparazzi stay away from them so they can grieve in peace.

| yes, read in the news that he jumped from his apartment building in Los Angeles...It's sad for anyone to take their own life, but when one is such a young age, it is even more heartbreaking...

This is something i will never understand why a person so young feels they have to take their own life. Im sure the paparazzi will be over the story as they always do and it sickens me to death because i don't believe one person is more important than next but that's them for you and that's reporters for you just after the news at any cost.

It was only a few months ago that he was in some kind of rehab, not sure what it was because only half listened to it when they were talking about it on the news. She is a reporter on Entertainment Tonight and spoke of it herself, but once again didn't pay much attention, so don't really know what it was all about, just know it was some kind of rehab Last edited on Sun Feb 28th, 2010 10:00 pm by TexasJo

That is very true John ! i know nothing about him at all. It is sad when people take their own life and its something i will never understand.

Yes sad when young people take their own life and its something i will never understand is why. Its just a cop out in my opinion, im not meaning to sound harsh but what else can it be?

I think most of us think of it as a cop-out...but then in the mind of the person who is so depressed, I suppose sometimes it seems like the only solution to their agony.
Don't know...I always feel so sorry for the family members left behind, but I also have some sympathy for the people suffering in this way. I guess if we've never gone through it, we will never understand it. And I know that depression can be an agonising burden to bear.
But, dare I say it, I sometimes think they do it to get 'back at' the ones they believe have hurt them.
I do feel really awful saying that, but sometimes revenge can be a very powerful motivator, and might provoke some people to do something they wouldn't normally consider.
(mind you, I'm saying all this without any knowledge of the case involved, so I'm not meaning any disrespect to those who are involved)

I know these people must feel its the last resort but it also makes you wonder what has an 18 year old got to worry about to do this. I feel for families that are left behind they must have so many questions that will never be answered.

I am probably going to get jumped on for this comment, but it's my thoughts so going to express them even if I come under fire for it.
personally I think "some" people are born with an inbalance in their brains, and they can't cope with life in general. what we might find as normal or upsetting they find to be soul destroying. It is VERY sad that somebody can't see another way out of things and just can't cope and find themselves beyond help, BUT, I would rather them do themselves in then take someone innocent with them. Just my thoughts

I'm not going to put you under fire its your opinion and your entitled to it, the fact that i can see where your coming from does help  . Even if i couldn't see where your coming from i wouldn't put you down that's just childish.

Yes, its a sensitive topic, & no matter what opinion you express, you're going to step on someone's toes.
Also I think at the age of 18, some problems get magnified way out of proportion.
Plus also, the people of that age do get influenced by a lot of hype, from depressive music to glorifying suicide victims. Honestl;y, young people today are far more exposed to depressive stuff & 'black' lifestyles...I can't find the right word to describe it, but you know, when we were younger I think we were sheltered from the horrible reality of some stuff...but these days, they see it all, & I'm sure they must be influenced by it.

I can see where your coming from texasJo and it hit a bit on what sixtiesrule has said in a round about way depending on how you look at it. I do believe there has to be something not right in the first place people don't just go ahead and snuff themselves because they felt like it.

I have to agree with you too sixties...jeez I have listened to some of this music these kids all love these days, and it is down right depressing, just don't get why you would want to listen to something that is going to bring you down.
I am really hardened to people who "threaten" suicide, I guess I just don't have compassion in this area because of my own life experiences, with such people and my own religious beliefs.
But in saying all of that, it is sad that a 18 year old felt like he had nothing to live for, his life hadn't even really started.

| I have to agree to most comments. This boy was adopted by Marie and her then husband, so goodness knows where he 'originally' came from and what the family history is. He was known to be a drug addict and had many inbalances. I think you have to be out of your mind and not in that 'normal' place that most people find themselves, even in a depressing state. We all get depressed but is only a few that end it with ending their lives. He may have stopped taking his meds, started the drugs again or just couldn't see the light. Goes to show that all the money and what goes with that, means nothing and can infact add to the trouble already brewing. Not sure if there was a note left, but it can make it easier to understand when an explanation has been left, other wise some family members will forever be blaming themselves.
