Dustin Pruden, I never got to know you, but I always wanted to.

This whole thing has taught me to not be afraid of talking to someone. For such a long time, I've wanted to really talk to him, instead of a "hi", and now he's gone. I never got that chance to talk to him, and I feel really bad.

All of my friends were friends with him, but not me, I was just shy with him, I guess. It's going to be hard because a LOT of my friends at school were friends with him, and... now that he's gone, they will have to learn the hard blow that comes after someone takes their own life.

This also gives me another example of why I shouldn't kill myself, ya know? It hurts so many people, even people you didn't really know about. It's horrible, and I honestly feel sorry for him. He needed help, and no one realized it had gotten that far. I feel sorry for the person that found him. I feel sorry for ALL of his friends!! I love every one of them, and I hope I'll be able to be there for them.

This will be death number 11.
