You guys, this is Merrick Chadbourne, a boy who lives in my town. And last night at ten o’clock p.m, his younger sister Miranda found him dead in his bedroom. Nobody really knows the cause of his death, but a lot of people claim that Merrick took his life due to the bullying he had to endur every day he showed up at school. I didn’t know him well, but I was in one of his classes, and I can say he was a person who really wore their heart on their sleeve. Just being in his presence just the day before, with my best friend who had known him since second grade, and then getting the news that he had passed away the morning after was mortifying. Especially for two of my closest friends. There were tears shed everywhere, and it was as though a dark cloud loomed over all of Auburn today. This isn’t a sob-story, and nobody needs anyone’s pity. All I ask is for everyone to prevent this from happening again. To stop someone who’s got so much to look forward to, and so much to look forward to; take their own life. RIP Merrick. You’re at home in the clouds now. ♥
