Why did 15 year old John Taylor put a bullet in his head? Hear the story from his side, and what drove him to take his own life.

Temp:
Run. Run far, far away. Run farther than ever. Run faster than ever. Run.
Branches slapping me, roots tripping me, the gun banging against my chest, I run. I run through the stinging in my legs, I run through the ache in my stomach, I run through it all. I am scared, scared out of my mind, more scared than I've ever been. And I'm mad too, my anger is boiling. But my anger is overrun by fear now. And that's why I run, why I am running farther, faster than ever.
