A sad, constant bid for attention

I find it sad when people want to be dead. Generally. Unless, like, they are in incredible pain with cancer or something that is going to kill them pretty soon anyway, and they just want that pain to end. But really, I think more in that situation, they might not want to be dead per se, but might prefer to trade off a shorter life for more painkillers. And not that everyone in such a situation does or even should want to be dead.

So, I think in this Terrell guy's case, it's very sad. Because it does not appear that he has some problem that will kill him unless he or someone else helps with the killing part.

Nick Hornby's book "A Long Way Down" is very much on point, and, if the first 100 pages are any judge, very very good.
