Pete Wentz’s Suicide Attempt
Pete Wentz confessed about his suicide attempt resulted by his growing depression with the success of his band Fall Out Boy.
Wentz was joined stars such as Mary J. Blige and Smashing Pumpkins frontman Billy Corgan as a spokesperson for the Jed Foundation’s Half Of Us campaign which is aimed at cutting student suicide rates.
The trio spilled out on each of their darkest hour in an interview that appear on MTV’s college channel mtvU.
In the interview, Pete admits to being paralyzed by anxiety and depression at the beginning of his career and he felt so lost and alone till a point he attempted suicide.
“I got in my car. I remember I was listening to Jeff Buckley doing Leonard Cohen’s (song) Hallelujah and sat there and took a bunch of (prescription drug) Adavan in a Best Buy (store) parking lot.
“And I called up my manager because I was, at that point, completely out of my head with Adavan. And I was talking to him and I was slurring my words, so he called my mom and my mom called me and she came and got me and we went to the hospital.
“I came home and we realised that we needed to do more than just keep (my) head above water. It’s not really about keeping your head above water, it’s about feeling all right and feeling safe in your own skin. It’s not about keeping your head above water and barely keep going.”
Life may be a challenge but suicide is never the answer!

omg i’m so glac you didn’t get hurt i really love you don’t do it again there’s no reason take a break with your band to an exotic island and relax no song writing worry about that when you get back that’s my advice
NOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! We Love You! You’re a Nut job, but THAT is why we Love YOU!!!!
It’s always a shame when anyone fails. I wish Pete had been more successful in his first suicide attempt. You know what they say though, if at first you don’t succeed, try, try, again!
snookums: i understand you aren’t a fan of Pete Wentz; I’m not a HUGE fan by any means myself. But I would NEVER say anything about ANYONE the way you did here. You should do some soul searching and find please in other things rather than making such crass statements as this.
Adam: you are totally right. I admire you for your majestic words. I am a huge fan, but even if someone I hated attempted suicide I wouldn’t have said what snookums did. Peace to all!
Hey man listen no need to stress so much it will be good just let off the stress have some fun I hope u don’t try something so freakin crazy will that all wish I could meet u some day and rock put with u I play guitar pretty freakin hard u awesome PEACE

well done Pete =D not only are you talking to everyone about your darkest moments, you are ecouraging others to be open too; and realise the emotions will pass!
congratulations !
individuals who encourage suicide attemps as a joke (pointed look at snookums) havn’t grasped that comments like that affect individual’s differently from the way you expect. Would you really want to trigger someone’s suicide?
I’m sooooo happy that you aren’t hurt, pete. I totally love u and u totally rock. You are totally cool and I am really, truly happy that you are okay. I love you sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo much!
It is a blessing Pete Wentz didn’t die, he is a really handsome guy and seems very nice. Also talented at the bass. God bless pete wentz. Snookums: if u don’t like pete wentz i don’t care but don’t be a hater. I don’t like miley cyrus but I don’t start bashing about her on the internet, even if it was a joke or not, it is not funny.
