Well, I can't really blame some people for suicide. There's some people that only say it to get attention. And some are just praying for death to come because they're hurting to much and trying to endure mental pain sucks. Trust me. I've been there. Call me stupid, but I've thought of a lot of times already. And like I have this weird eating habit now where I would go on and not eat. It's not like I'm anorexic or bulimic or trying to be because I want to eat, but my mind and body won't take it. And because I don't eat, people think I'm trying to kill myself. Okay whatever. But like Muddie said, "You're problem isn't even as worse as mine." Yeah. I know. That's bad to say to someone who's talking about suicide and stuff. I don't know, but it's not what that person needed you to say. Because the thing you should do is try to talk that person out of it. Not just whatever and shoo them away. But I think it's because people who are thinking of suicide, they just need someone to listen to them. They want someone to care about them and listen to them when they want to talk about their emotions. Locking up your thoughts and sadness, it's sucky. It sucks more than anything. And when it gets too far, then suicide pops up. My sister has this picture as her MSN icon...
I mean, it's just they want someone to listen to them. They want a best friend to sooth them. Almost everyone thinks of suicide, at least once. But then wait till you get happy. Don't you realize something? You're happy at that time and wish life was always like that. But only when you're depressed, you think of suicide.
At lunch one day at school, my friend had this note on her arm. It say "Monday the Fifth. 11:00 PM." And so we all asked her what it was. And she said it was the date that she set to commit suicide. The first thought I had in mind was "Attention. She wants attention. Or she's sad. But then you don't plan a special time for suicide, you just do it. And, you don't tell others either." But I didn't say it to her. I just tried to talk her out of it. But then our senior friend shook her head. And her exact words were "
Honey, I've tried everything. I've had the knife, the gun, the rope, the pills, everything. All right beside me and guess what? I didn't do it."
I guess her point was, you can talk the talk but you won't be able to walk the walk. You only talk of suicide, but then when you attempt it, you'll pull back. And I agree with her. Just like running away. I've attempted that too. Don't know why, but I did. And guess what. I'm still here. I've tried suicide and guess what? I'm stil here. That senior friend of ours was right. She might be wrong too. Some people have attempted suicide and went all the way. For those people, I don't call them stupid. I just feel sad for them. Not pity either. I just feel hurt for them. Life for them must've been that bad. But then somehow, later on in our lives, we'll think of it, and call ourselves stupid for thinking that stuff. Because we'll have something great happen in the future, and be thankful that we didn't go all the way.
By the way. Did yall hear that thing about some dude in Kali? How he like got on the bridge with his doggie and jumped off? everyone got pissed. Because he forced the doggie to die with him...poor thing.
I have a story too. Okay. So one of my uncles took his family fishing. And then the oldest son, he ditches the family, cause he's like that. And he ditches them and goes fishing far away. So the daughter somehow drowns. Then the son jumps in to help his sister. But then the mom sees that the son isn't helping any and he's drowning too. So she jumps in to help as well. Somehow...she begins to drown with them. So my uncle goes in to help his family. Unluckily, he slips on a rock and falls in as well. So the youngest little boy is left. and he's crying. His entire family just drowned. He's all alone in this big world. and must i add, he's a rising 4th grader. he decides to jump in and drown with his family. somehow...some white ppl see the family drowning and jumps in to help. but then they hold back the youngest boy b/c he's still so you and he's so tiny. after the white ppl revive the entire family, the little boy went up to the mom and said, "Mommy, i thought that if you guys all died then I would be left with my big brother. and he's really mean and he's probably not going to love me or take good care of me. Nobody will feed me or take care of me if you guys all drown. I was going to jump in too but the american people held me back."
That was my uncle and his family, not just some story. if you read it from there. it sounds funnie. but it's not. to me it wasnt. i almost cried after I laughed. that poor boy. I know his brother. trust me, his brother is evil. if i was him and the whole family really did drown, i would jumped in too. It was sad. how can a little boy like him think of killing himself already...well that was just something i wanted to share..i think it's pretty smart to have this thread actually. it'll really help those people who are considering suicide. thanks for creating it muddie.
