Under Pressure
One time when I was in summer camp
I was talking to this guy about suicide
He told me about this kid he used to go to school with
The kid was a straight "A" student
His parents told him not to bother coming home if he had anything less
One day they were walking home from school and he said he had gotten a "B"
He said, "My parents are going to kill me"
My friend said, "No way, relax!"
The kid said that he had to go
My friend said, "See ya later"
Later that day the kid jumped off the roof of his apartment building
