Wow, I really want to die JUST like River did, it must be such a wonderful way to die, i mean, u throw up, pass out, have a few sezuires, and die.....I'm really contemplating doing that in a few years.....I just want to feel that rush......

Are you sick River shouldn't of died like that, he should be here with us.

I didnt mean it like it's a good way to die, and DUH obviously I wish River was still here, but I'm just saying, if I really wanted to die, that's how I'd do it, I've had VERY close relatives (closer then you could know) die that way, and I'm just saying if I had to CHOOSE a way to die, that's how I'd like to do it.
I'm sorry you took it that way.

I think "Me" is just having some fun with satire. I don't take it literally - although that is exactly how River and many others have died. Ther's no denying that.

And your right, Elle. River should have NEVER died like that. I agree. NO ONE should ever die like that. But it happens on an everyday basis with thousands of nameless, faceless children and adults everywhere around the world.

You've heard the old expression "Don't be a part of the problem - be a part of the solution". Well - there you go. Ponder that if you will.

It's so sad when people like this are in such desperate need of attention that they need to lash out, and say things like that. What....did your Mom and Dad abandon you as a child, or just he type who enjoys negative attention?

They didn't abandon me, but this summer my mother died, and my father was just diagnosed with cancer of the lvier, and hepatitus C, and im not looking for sympthies, but im only 13, so they didnt "abanden" me, but i'll be all alone in a few months. so yes, i do have a need to lash out, thank you.

Well Me....If what you say is true about you're parents, i am trully sorry and my prayers of with you! Good luck, and remeber God loves you and the people who love you will be there for you, so dont feel you are alone, and pleae please please please DO NOT TURN TO DRUGS OR ALCHAHOL! We dont want another innocent soul dying or drugs! Peace!

I'm new here and was simply passing though taking a gander at some of the discussions when I hit upon this one. You sound to me as if you have had a very hard life at the tender age of 13. You also sound like you are crying for help. I don't know you and don't want to seem as if I'm trying to tell you what to do, but please talk to someone you can trust and get some help. Contemplating dying (especially in the violent manner as River died) is not where you need to be at 13. You have your entire life ahead of you. I realize your world is turned upside down with your mother's death and father's sickness, but you have so much to live for. Why, I might be talking with a future President of the US! Again, please stay away from the drugs and talk to someone about your feelings! This is way too important to ignore!!!

Word. The contemplation of death, especially at the hand of ones own doing, is a permanent solution to a very temporary problem. PLEASE - get help.

There IS a good world out there to be had, even though I know it must not seem like it. Hang in there. Talk to someone. PLEASE.

Thank You for your concern, I'm not contemplating suicide, I was just saying if I wanted to die, I'd want to do it like River did, tho i'm nto saying he wanted to die, it just turned out that way. thanks.

it sounds like ur pretty sick me......

i think that there is more to the story so maybe a little support should be shown not getting told how bad they are

what a pity he had 2 die like that. river said he wanted to die peacefully by a waterfull or sumthing like that

THIS MESSAGE IS NOT EVEN WORTH RESPONDING TO BUT I HAVE A MESSAGE TO THE AUTHOR: RE-THINK

what the f**k kind of post is that ??
i.m sorry but what makes rivers death so different to others is the pure horror of it .
he was a very talented actor so he was known wherever he went i can imagine and to be honest i can.t say i would like to go from the world on a grubby sidewalk with everyone watching me have a fit and taking pictures so no it wasn.t a very dignified way to leave the world is it now ??
anyways he would of known something was very very wrong before he passed so why would you find this wonderful

you really are a sick fuck how could you say something like that....noone deserves to die like that especially river phoenix...you need help

Frankly, the whole world has a dark side to it; that usually results on being on the sick side.
Its a lost and dying world reaching out for answers. Think about what a pay day this world offers at times...excessive drinking causing liver failure and possible addiction. Drugs running rampant in the streets being fostered on us from powerful people who let the bad stuff in the country just to get richer. Pornography ruining relationships and warping men's minds. The wages of breaking moral and spiritual laws results in such sadness and even death.

There is a way out I have found. Not to be trite to what problems can bring. Problems are seemingly hopeless sometimes. But that is a lie. There is a way that can straighten out a crooked road in to a straight road where a person is no longer alone. Even when beset by panic attacks, or depression, or even losing hope to the point of wanting to die to get out of stuff. Sometimes its the few that find a way out, but there is a way to find the victory.
