A shocking truth. - Slendurrman - 07-22-2011
In 2010 last year in march, my older brother Sam, tried committing suicide by consuming 25-30 tablets of Tylenol, it was the most shocking thing that struck my heart, I never saw this coming....but this was only the beginning of my search for information. But to day, I was typing down poetry on my moms laptop to print for a slam poetry presentation, when I was going to save it in my documents I saw a file named "the journey of Sam" I was very confused, saved the poetry and opened it. It talked about how he was sensitive his entire life, something I was never told to be aware of in my entire life until today, he also did multiple other things like saying he would kill himself then be in society. I was shocked at how much my parents kept this away, under a blanket of lies away from me. I am going to confront them about this tomorrow, regardless of the consequences or actions, they can send me to my death aslong as I get my answers I seek and how long they have been hiding my brothers true colors from me.

Suicidal thoughts are not true colours and confronting it in that manner will not help. Just try to convince your brother how much he means to YOU and what it would be like if he wasn't around/all the stuff he could miss out on. You need to make him believe there is value to life.
When I was in a bad state I would write many times in notes that it wouldn't matter if I lived or not...I eventually ended up trying to get over it on my own by setting a goal. That goal is quite obvious and I have stated it many times, but I still know that if I accept the fact that what I am trying, is impossible I would probably be depressed again.
Sam needs something he can strive for in life so he no longer thinks suicide is the answer. It might have been covered up, but it ALWAYS is people don't want to share feelings like this and people that do are usually posers. It wasn't a blanket of lies...it was an attempt to isolate those feelings.
The only problem is although he may not want you to know, you not knowing is worse over all.
TL;DR Talk to him and make him have fun.

Sam is my IRL name......but why does your brother want to commit suicide D;
RE: A shocking truth. - Slendurrman - 07-22-2011
He's afraid of what he will do to survive in this world. He is also sensitive.

Have you talked to your parents yet?

You need to talk some sense into him. Make sure hes been or is going to therapy. Suicidal thoughts are a serious matter. Make sure he knows whats ahead for him in life and how much people care about him.

Sounds realistic enough. Must've notice the world is a dark place and doesn't want to grow up into something that'll be someone.
