A note from the author

My mate was going to kill himself, we found him in the school toilet block. He had the razor blade in his hand. He had made small incisions into his vein and he was going to cut deeper. My friend Rhys (name change for confidentiality purposes) tried talking him round but he said he couldn't take anymore pain and heartbreaks. He did it, he slit right through his vein. Rhys had to sit there and watch him do the whole thing. Rhys tried to stop the blood from pouring out, but whatever he tried failed. Corey (name also changed) was gone. Corey was always your happy face though; he would always have a joke to share or a quirky smile to make your day, we never would have guessed what he was hiding in his heart of gold. We are so sorry now that we never took the time to search deeper into Corey's heart and rescue him from his dark pit. We love you mate... You are never forgotten. This is a true story, always remember to help those who are stuggling in life or else one day a person close to you may go... and never be able to come back!
