“It’s over,â€? Michael said, “There is nothing left. I have no purpose anymore. This is my only option.â€? He grabbed his knife.
“No!â€? I shouted as I figured out what he had in mind. “You can’t kill yourself. It’s suicide!â€?

His next words startled me. “Do you think I care whether I die or not at this point? I don’t care if the whole world ends. My parents dumped me on the doorstep of some old lady’s house when I was four! I hate my parents! They had no plan for me whatsoever and just abandoned me. It’s impossible for me to care less where they are or how they are or anything about them for that matter! I have no family and no friends and my whole life has just been a complete lie!â€?
