Leaving Cert. '11/'12 Off-Topic

Coeurdepirate

My friend hung himself on Sunday night. They resuscitated him and he started to improve, but he had a heart attack yesterday. They turned off the life support a few hours ago. He had just turned 17. I actually can't even think straight.

Thanks guys. I actually can't understand how somebody could do that. He was always such a strong person, but apparently you never know how people really feel.

Edit: posted this after fewtin's post. why did it show up before it?

That's so sad. So many stories similar to this now I'd be suprised if there's any teenagers in Ireland today who haven't gone through something similar.

Condolences.

Jesus Coeur, that's tough. Thoughts are with you and the rest of his friends and family.

I've only gotten the cao letter to confirm where I applied to. I do keep getting letters from my ucas uni choice in England where I'm hoping to go even before I firmed it though . I've heard nothing from dcu apart from one about scholarships if you get 500+ points. It's fun getting post though .

Oh god Coeur that's awful. Sometimes there isn't anything you could've done for the person, you're probably thinking about what you could've done differently but if he was depressed it's likely that nothing anyone could've said or done would have helped. Suicide is really the worst way to lose someone.

Does anyone know if theres a website which has all the past papers/ marking schemes other than examinations website? One where you don't have to keep clicking everything all over again and has all the years of the particular subject all on the same page?

So sorry Coeur, such a tragic thing. I try to imagine how you feel now. If you were close to him you'd want to talk to him now, to figure out what was going through his head. It didn't have to be that way, he may have felt it did, but seriously there are options, talk to someone and get help. Life is tough and unfortunately the burden becomes too heavy on some, once you know what that burden feels like it's easier to relate to others going through the same thing. And I'm pretty sure a lot of us as teenagers have gone through tough times. Therefore, my deepest sorrows for your friend. My thoughts are with you and his family.

Christ Couer, I hope you know that we are all here for you, if you need to talk pm any one of us, we'll be more than happy to listen. Xxx
Gosh this leaving cert does strange things to people. A few years back at least 3 LCers died within a few weeks of each other in my town.
I hope if anyone here is having problems that they would talk to a friend or parent, and if you feel that you can't talk face to face with them, sure talk to one of us, it can be easier to talk that way. And sure us LCers are all in it together, we'll look out for each other.

Save them to your computer, organise them, whenever you need them they're just a click away Works for me!

Thanks a lot guys. I don't really know how to think. I'm finding it hard to believe that he actually did it.

AnnaKin

My condolences to you too Coeur! Hope you'll be ok!

So sorry to hear Couer, that's so sad.

Sorry to hear that Coeur also!

Just to ask a quick question to anyone doing Geography, my Geographical Investigation is:

A study of one landform evident on the Irish landscape formed by geomorphic processes.

On Page 7 of the booklet it asks for: 'the title of investigation'.

Does anyone know what i'm supposed to write here?

Merci beaucoup!

Mysteriouschic

When are the geography projects due in is it the end of this month ?
because my teacher is going very slow we only did the investigation 2 weeks ago and we've not written much down or anything. Mine is a study of the area so it's quite boring, , my last years was the river and we had everything done since November. We'd worked on it since then and had everything completed so when the booklets came out all we needed to do was copy it in.

Lads I've been sitting here since about 12. I just can't study it's like a mental block

KirkCheated09

How much study do ya's reckon a JC'er should be doin...I would ask on the JC forum but that's basically dead.
