I am sick of hearing about this girl amanda todd. I had many people pass from suicide. When I left rehab last year I got four voice-mails of people I knew in the program that left a message on my phone seeking someone to talk to at 5 in the morning and nobody was able to get to them in time. I Do not joke about suicide. I lost many friends. I will keep their names anonymous but There was a period in my life where I was afraid to answer my phone becuase I was affraid I would get another call that someone i tried working my program with overdosed or committed suicide. I once saved a very good friend of mines life from a suicide attempt due to acknowledging the signs and I must say it was a life changing event that I was able to get someone to dump a lethal dose of pain killers and step off the side of a parking structure. I have been in some dark places my life and I had someone literally save my life from a similar bad situation. If you so care about these situations learn the signs of a person who is struggling. anyone can be in a situation where suicide can come up in your thoughts a legitiamte and logical way out in your head. Its not becuase that person was mentally ill or unstable. There are things in this society especially with the low economy that many people have trouble admitting or faceing. To instintly think that someone brought it upon their self is an ignorant accusation. The main stresser behind suicide is finacial instability. The loss of a job, house, car can cause much emotional stress. I know from experiance. I was on the street a year ago and lived in my car for descent amount of time and lived in a one bedroom hotel with another person to try and make ends meet. I have been in situations where I thought I was better off not living. Bullying is a situation but the killer of a healthy conscience is isolation. Help someone who tends to be by himself. Try to make conversation with someone you see having a hard time making friends. For the people in school. Go up and talk to the kid that walks the highschool halls alone. I have done it. I go out of my way to try and help people escape their emotional torment. I have sat down with someone at a restraunt where his prom date bailed on him and he was sitting by himself trying to figure out his emotions. I take the time out of my day and try to listen to peoples situations from it being the simplicity of break ups to the complexity to someone close passing away and a loss of a home. I sat down and listened to people who actually were homeless and let them vent about their life and how their bad descions led them to being on the street. Its all about caring for peoples emotions and many people may consider me a fucking selfish prick but I will take my favorite shirt off my back and give it to someone who is bleeding severly to use as a rag. I gave my xbox and 40 inch tv with every xbox game I owned for someone to use as a distracter to get clean from a drug addiction. Its all about how much of yourself you are willing to give and judging by all these "she brought it upon herself and she deserve no sympathy"remarks are the people that keep walking when they see somebody in a bad place. You are the people who walk by an allyway and watch somebody get jumped by six people instead of making the choice to try and help or call the police. I am accusing almost everybody I know for carelessness and heartlessness on this subject. I cant wait to see you lose everything in life and be in a position where lifes stress feels like its killing you and you need some emotional support and its nowhere to give. "I hope the person you go to will say you brought it upon yourself." suicide is the one thing I keep sacred and dont make jokes or poke fun at. I have lost way to many friends and I have seen the effects on the family and I seen what it can do to someone who had an attempt and how it effects everything around them. I have been there. You people are just to heartless to ever try and help someone in need because its not the "cool" thing to do. If you have a problem seeing the same story over and over agian ignore and block it from your news feed dont go and cross the line and make fun of the 10TH LEADING CAUSE OF DEATH IN AMERICA!
