This is really sad because although he knew that he'd be good on a place to live and food to eat once he started college, it seems like the stress of leaving his family behind in homelessness got the best of him. My heart really hurts for him....cuz he tried :'( :'(

Didn't wanna say but this was my first thought too. Leaving them behind was too much but.......that's exactly what u did :dead:
I'll always think that suicidal thoughts are either signs that someone is crazy or having major lapses in cognitive, rational thought because there's literally no logic behind it
Sad
RIP
I remember someone standing right next to me jumped in front of a Train
It's was just me and her on that platform and she looked at me just before she went
I'll never forget that
It's a very desperate act

Pressure hits people differently.
Not everyone is able to withstand that amount of stress and still manage
Plus he was a baby, starting college and still being homeless?
Thats terrible :'(
This is tragic on so many levels .. lord Jehovah help them
Quote from: Niggahontas on January 05, 2020, 01:51:32 PM
this one really is tugging at my heart too.
i can imagine that he found it hard to fathom him actually enjoying himself and being happy in college
while he knew that every day he woke up in a cozy bed, they were waking up in a car somewhere.
that has to really hurt when u really love ur family....he worked extra hard to make sure they were fed, etc.
such a uniquely sad story.
This happens more than people realise
The youth of today are seeing things our generation never really had to their age
The pressures and expectations they face :'(
=; (
my blck king...rest in love bby boy

He wasn't that young to grabs this. He's mother is scarred for life because she made them homeless and he took his life.
He had a chance to turn it around. He was top rated, they would have made sure his family was good just so he could bring them wins and money.
:'( he was just a bby too

Yh lots of couldves and maybes, someone in his situation needs certainties, can't live off hopes and dreams whilst being homeless
I'll never judge these people because I'm not in their situation to fully appreciate the severity of what they're going through

Already over 100K but like, her son is dead. Imaging raising a child from infancy to damn near college life and them suddenly dying before you. No amount of coin will ever be able to comfort her.
This is so sad, it's crazy how there is so much money here in the USA, yet people are homeless.
Everyone is not meant to be a parent. I just cannot understand having multiple children that you can't take care of. I feel sorry for her because she will have to live with the fact that her child reached out to her and she ignored him. She talks completely about herself. It is very hard having narcissistic parents, imagine need love and protection from your mother, and all she talks about is how SHE feels. People get through a lot of things in life, just knowing that someone cares. I don't really blame her, because you can see that she doesn't even have anyone around her that really cares. Its just so sad, you have to break those toxic cycles.
I noticed a few things from her video, when she said:
1) He was talking crazy
2) I told him I was dealing with my own demons
3) I wouldn't let him touch me
4) He was just talking for a few days - when she said this, she waved her hand in a way that shows that she dismissed whatever he was saying
Black parents have to start taking mental illness more serious.

I think it's important to remember that we are discussing a 19 year old
while we're judging him. And I think that there were possibly some mental health issues that may not have been addressed.
I've never lived out of a car as a kid, nor was I ever faced with the pressure of supporting my whole family as a teenager so I can't begin to comprehend what was going thru his mind.

It's easy to say what he should've been done whilst typing from ya brand new phone in ya warm house whilst having ya dinner ubered to ya :dead:

I'm so sorry and god bless him. But now they will stay there also with more pain than before he left. Like if he was one of the best wide receivers in the state he could've used that drive to get him into the NFL in 1 - 2 years and they wouldn't have to worry about that in the long run.

He wouldn't even have to wait tho. They would have gave his mother and brothers a room on campus or elsewhere. They wanted him BAD.

And don't you think that would ADD to the stress?
Even IF that's how it would work (which it doesn't :dead: )
Now at 19 he's the breadwinner, if he flops they're back on the street
What kind of pressure is that for a teenager that sounds like he already has mental health problems
Everything doesn't need resolute judgment guys, just more emphathy

Man, do you know how many strings coaches will pull just to have a star player on their team.

djdjdjdj who is this
the person you made threads of saying we shouldn't quote him
Oh fucking hell
Why am I not surprised
No disrespect but none of you was first draft picks are ranked high in sports so I don't expect for you guys to know this.
Like coaches from my school was taking care of some of the boys at my high school. Driving long distance to pick them up in the morning and dropping them off at night because they was no where near the district.
That's called grooming
Sorry about it
No because the coach wasn't gay. He just wanted rank.

It is. But he's not lying it happens. Especially to young boys who don't have much but the talent. Their the to give them the world so they can remind them when they make it big who was there or be along for the ride. It is what it is. And some are genuine.
I don't think he was worried about his mother to be honest. Usually The oldest child, in situations like these with parents who make bad decisions, are forced to be the parent. Him moving to Atlanta and leaving his brothers homeless, was more like asking a parent to leave their children in the streets. This is a real life, "You can't see the forest because of the trees" scenario.
He just needed someone intelligent to listen to him, and explain these things. This is making me sad.
I think it's a lot of what if, he could of did. It's just fucked up.
Damn that's messed up
Well king knew if he started making something of himself
Those homeless crabs in a barrel would never let him fucking rest
Couldnt concentrate on shit in college cause tamika ray ray and nem always got a nigger crisis
Then if he started getting monety that will double and he will just be the scapegoat
He said fuck that
His actions proved he didnt want no parts of being the brradwinner for tbe family
Gonna come back in a new life and see whats good
Omgoodness 😞😞😞😞
