hey friends of newschoolers.  i just wanted to make a thread to let u guys know you have to make sure to always keep your heads up and remember the good things we have in life. and to remember how lucky we are in every aspect of living how we do.

last night one of my really good friends passed away, :(

and i just cant stop thinking of life and how it can be taken from you so quick.

Nicholas Riani.
a great friend, funny as hell, always chill i never had a bad moment with him. he was a avid member of this site and just before i found out i laughed my ass off at one of his posts. u will always be in my heart man .

if u read this just remember how important we are and how much everyone cares about every one of us.  life is too short to loose. be strong and shred your lifes woes away with the smooth powder turns

Holy shit. I don't know what to say, I knew his older brother from college. Seemed like such a fun family always happy and loved to party. Nick was a long time poster on here and I have definitely had some great talks with that kid via newschoolers.

Damn this is the worst. I gotta call his brother now and make sure he is okay. I remember when he came to our school to visit his brother and he was super young partying with his brother and us ahah. This really saddens me. I wish I had known about this, I have read a lot of depressing posts from him and I just wish maybe once I would have said something to him. Ah life is a real mother fucker sometimes. Please if anyone ever thinks problems are too much to bear think of your family and friends.

RIP Nick, you were a great kid.

What... that's just like... what the fuck. How can he have died? I wouldn't even consider myself at all close to him, but this is just really surreal. I always enjoyed his posts, and this just.. fuck.

Permeant solution to a temporary problem.

Just a message to anyone out there ever struggling reach out to someone/anyone before you commit. It's funny how one small conversation with a complete stranger can make all the difference.

wow, thats too bad.
This is one problem I have with people who get too involved with a female or male, especially at such a young age. A man or woman should NEVER EVER consider killing himself/herself over anything at all, especially over what another person does. I don't understand why some people just act like they would rather kill themselves than be single, its really stupid...

Life is too fucking awesome to quit early.

Anyways, RIP to a member of the NS family.
And to all you young men and women of NS, keep focused on your own life and NEVER let anyone break you down.

Heard about this the other day, and godDAMN that is awful... I felt like shit the whole day and I only hung out with the kid a handful of times. Great guy. Always seemed like such a happy-go-lucky kid, I cannot believe that happened to him... What a fucking cunt. R.I.P man. You will be missed.

RIP I never met him, but recognized him as part of our community.

Ski in peace Nick.

My thoughts go out to friends and family.

One of my friends died of an extremely violent action and I watch a video made for him a lot (it's in my sig).

It's really hard losing someone you know or love.

Again, rip/sip. I'm really sorry to hear this.

Thank you. As all of you well know Nick was my little brother. Kayla is a sweet girl and doesn't deserve the slander you immature pricks are posting about her and my little brother. I was with my brother the night he died and it had absolutely NOTHING to do with her or anyone else. We as a family still don't even know the full details of his death.

Let me write that again. I am his older brother of 20 years and I dont even know why he died that night. In MY house. Until the facts are out, which they NEVER will be, I would ask any mod with a heart to delete any and all posts speculating ANYTHING about my young brothers death, until the time that I and no one else decides it time to share the full details. Until then I appreciate the love and support from this site. For those of you who have speculated and deemed it upon yourselves to determine why my brothers life was cut short... shame on you for feeling that this is the place to do it, and that's it's your job to share your uninformed opinion with the masses.
 If you want to put guilt on someone? Put it on yourself for not taking the time out of your pathetic lives to stop and think about how real your actions can effect other people.

Peace and Love to all who knew my brother for the wonderful young man that he was. Fuck the rest of you.

Best wishes to you and your family for now and the times ahead. I wish I could tell you it gets better but so far I don't think it does myself. Their birthdays come and go with little celebration. Every holiday I wish I could at least still glance across the dinner table at them. I cry when I have car trouble because i know I can't call my brother for a helping hand.

Good luck to you with the pain and confusion that comes with an unexplained death. I know I stay up many nights just wondering why or how, and I'll never have those answers. I almost wish sometimes that something stupid like a car wreck would have taken matt, like was the case for chris, at least that way it's just tragic and doesn't twist your guts and brain in circles thinking about why.

Big round of applause for coming on here and defending him and those close to him, it's never easy to talk about.

Not trying to hijack or spread my sob story. Just thought you may want to know there are others here living through similar pain. feel free to pm if you feel like it would help in any way.

It's gotta be so rough to loose your brother man. I hope you're doing better, even though it will always be different without him there. Hope you're still doing alright. Vibes + Love dude, I'm truly sorry for your loss.
