A former Bellaire High School student committed suicide Tuesday, one day after writing a blog post about taking her own life.

Houston Police officers were called out to Braes Forest Drive and Portal Drive in Southwest Houston Tuesday at 1 p.m.

Officers saw 17-year-old Ashley Duncan with a gun pointed at her head. They say they tried to talk her out if pulling the trigger but weren't able to.

On Monday, Ashley wrote on her Tumblr site: "If you know or have known what it feels like to want to die every minute second hour day week month year then you feel me.

I’m not here to put my business out like y’all care or for y’all to feel sorry for me but this is the only way I can vent.

Im not complaining because I know it’s people out in this world that has it a lot worse but what you don’t understand is I really have it bad.

I might not struggle financially but I struggle emotionally and mentally and I think that’s the worst struggle.

The only thing that made me happy is gone. So in asking why can’t it be my choice to die now?

I’m miserable. I’m just a dead stoner pill head walking and nobody notices it but me.

One day I won’t be here anymore and that’ll be the happiest day of my life but for the ones that say they love me its gonna hurt but I’m tired and I’m done with this life."

Several of Ashley's friends posted messages of condolence on her site.
