"Child Prodigy, 14, Commits Suicide"

Title: Child Prodigy, 14, Commits Suicide


Summary:  This article was about  that this kid was really smart and finished high school at age 10. At age 14 he committed suicide by shooting a gun to his head. He was a great musician and thats how he finished high school, he started playing the piano at age 3. He lived in southwest Nebraska. 


Reflection: Something in this article that shocked me is that this kid had great potential but he decided to commit suicide. 


Evidence: A quote from his mother is "Brandenn's kidneys went to two people, his liver to a 22-month old and his heart to an 11-year-old boy." This means that he was willing to give parts of him to help others even though he committed suicide.


Questions:


How do kids even get thoughts of suicide?
This kid had great potential, why did e give his life away?
