RIP Jett Jackson

I think it's folly to say suicide is cowardly. Every person carries their own burdens, experiences their own plights, endures their own hardships. For you to judge what the next person sees as the best course of action is honestly selfish in its own right, somewhat similar to the selfishness of the person who chose to opt out. What I'm trying to say is this: don't let the way you live your own life blind you from the reality of how completely different another person is living their own. You may be able to cope while another person may be at the end of their ropes. I always believed it to be a choice like another. Possibly the most selfish choice one could ever make, but their choice to make none the less. If a person wants to live, they'll fight through it. But it doesn't make them a coward of they chose not to... In my opinion anyways.

The famous Jett Jackson used to be my show on Disney. I'm sad at the fact that he did it to himself, but I'd be wrong to say he could've fought through whatever it was that drove him to it since I've never experienced his plight. I hope he is shown mercy when he goes on to whatever awaits us when the lights go out.

Well said. The "selfish" or "coward" tags are immature at best.

The phrase "good life" is somewhat subjective by definition depending on the person. He has probably been in show business every since he was able to walk and talk. Not saying I find it easy to empathize with entertainers who fall victim to the stress of the entertainment world, but I'm sure he hardly had a "life." I'd assume the pressure to succeed and sustain just evidently becomes too much for some.

I love him on r&I. He played on Friday night lights the movie too (chris comer). I wondered why he killed himself. RIP
 
Maybe he seen the future for like a min and seen that in the future he killed some kids and the only way to stop his self from doing it was to kill his self since he didn't know when or how he kills them.

Flash Forward.

I thought he was on it, but wasn't sure and this jogged my memory.

I miss that show.

RIP

Really sad about this one. Talented actor dude was very underrated. Disney executives credited the Famous Jett Jackson as the show most responsible for helping disney grow with young stars. Even Stevens, lizzy McGuire, etc were a direct result of the popularity of the famous jett jackson.

to those saying he had a good life, how do you know that?
 
Having money, or fame, or notoriety =/= a good life.

We all have our demons. No amount of money in the world can change that.

Maybe materialistic things will fulfill your happiness but that doesn't go for everybody

it's all relative right? I know people who live in the "hood" in Cali, and compare themselves to me who grew up in the "Burbs" and say "how could you?" 

At the same time these same people in the "hood" and even myself,  we share friends and family who live in third world countries like Mexico, the Philippines, and Africa, with no opportunity, no education, no clean water, no internet, and guaranteed poverty (99.999999999999999%.) They probably look at us and ask the same questions, "how could this person complain about their circumstances when I'm living in a third world country eat rice everyday???"

My point is, it's all relative. Everyone's situation is unique. Money, fame, women, is not a pure benchmark for happiness.

Just read that he was one of my frat brothers.

Look at all these Hollywood folks killing themselves. Whether it's dude from Glee, the girl from Bachelor, this guy... All in 30's and 20's.

Goes to show that "glamorous" life isn't that hot. You could end up like these folks or the girl from That 70's Show
