Back in 81, a kid brought a pistol to class and shot himself in front of his classmates. I didn't know him personally, but from what I understood at the time, he was trying to kill himself in order to send a message to the students who'd been bullying him.

That just reminded me - wasn't "Teen Suicide" all the rage back then?

There was that song by "Frankie Goes to Hollywood" and everything...

"Relax" was actually about Gay sex.

I don't remember an actual song about teen suicide, but I do recall the song "Teen Suicide: DOn't Do IT!" From the movie Heathers. Remember, all the kids were wearing the Big Fun t-shirts around school?
