Former Student of Provo Canyon School commits suicide
« on: January 23, 2007, 06:15:07 PM »
I have very sad news.  One of my best friends, a former student of PCS, Darrel Kilbourne lost his life to suicide January 15, 2007.   He attended PCS 1991-1993.  He left PCS and became addicted to drugs.  That is two former students I know that committed suicide.  So much for the program helping people with mental illness.

Sad news & very close to home for me, same date, same names, quite chilling

Be safe in the knowledge that he is now at peace, released from a tortured mind, life just isn't something some people are cut out for

Take care

i know you didnt mean to imply anyhting...
but its not that some people arent cut out for life, darling,
its that some people arent cut out for being tortured  in a way that is designed to destroy their mind.

Delicate, soft children cannot survive these places

They can, they do - suicide is a very finely balanced state of mind, people go through some horrendous things, worse than programs, but they still don't commit suicide

It's incredibly sad that this young person felt so desperate  :(

sure not every delicate child who's delicate commits suicide, I should have parsed my words more exactly
but a large proportion INEVITABLEY will!

It's not about having a "sucide finely balanced mind" whatever that means. Im sure there are worse things to do to a person  besides program (not much but it exists) Id say the holocaust ranks up there. Some people threw themselves against electric fences to die- and in those cases too, its not about having a "suicide finely balanced mind"

Dont subject a child to a situation designed to destroy their minds-

a situation that does not exist outside North Korean gulugs(though in those cases it was the govt doing it to you , not your family in conjunction with some madhouse- that makes it a bit tougher)

. If you do that ..sometimes.. you will suceed
You will CREATE a sucide finely balanced mind.

Alot of us know kids who were driven to suicide- what they were before and after program, so get a clue or at least a heart. DOnt imply these kids were inevitable corpses from the day they were born becasue of their suicide "finely blanced minds". Its spitting on graves.

I am not sure where pcs is but I do no there was more to my friends life than drugs. During the time I knew him he was not an addict and enjoyed a very beautiful life. Unfortunately he had struggles like the rest of society and I guess he couldnt deal. I dont know if he became addicted to drugs as you say, but let us not deminish his time here to simply being an addict. I am only finding out tonight that he has gone on ahead of us and he meant enough to me that I am still trying to understand why God has called him home. Rest in the hands of our Father my friend, I am sure I will see you again.

Mental illness is a life long struggle that can be treated successfully sometimes, but never cured.

He made a choice to commit suicide.  Nobody forced him to do it.  It is not the programs fault although fornits members will blame PCS.  I don't feel sorry for Darrel Kilbourne.

You must be a really sick bastard to say something like that. Provo is one of the most evil forces on the planet.
