Where do I start. Oh my gosh. I think that the thing that really hit me the most out of that whole article was "Suicide is the third leading cause of death for 15-to-24-year-olds, and the sixth leading cause of death for 5-to-14-year-olds." I thought of my nephews during that part because well one of them is 12 and I can't even imagine him thinking at all about this because it would just kill me to even think that he could end up as a statistic. I imagine parent feel the same way about their kids.
That is why you need to communicate with your kids. With anyone. You know me and my friends joke around about stuff like this you know because were not really serious, everyone jokes about it. Were teenagers what do you expect? We all know we won't really do it because that is just not who we are. I started thinking about how if one day some person does really mean it we are not going to believe them. We wont take them serious and that is a scary thought. This is a serious matter. No smile or laugh should come after having this conversation with anyone because it's not fun to talk about.
People commit suicide because they somehow think that things will get better. How is that even possible? When your dead, your dead. That sounds harsh but it is really true, your life will not get better or go on, what will happen is you will make everyone Else's lives sad and depressing for what you did. It is never their fault, They are not to blame. They should not think suicide is the answer to anything because it may take your pain away but it will hurt the people around them. I don't know about the rest of the world but I am not a quitter. You will have to deal with me till the end. I know there is no simple escape in life. Suicide definitely isn't an escape.
Life is not fair. Yes. However, that does not mean that you can just give up because you think it's even more not fair to you than others. You kill yourself, you are letting your problems and your issues know that they have won. It is not right. As the article said there are many symptoms of depression and it's up to you to find them in other people or within yourself. I think that one of the reasons why I would like to be a psychologist so badly is because of stuff like this. I want to be able to help people as much as I can. I mean I do that now but even if I can help one person, change one persons life, then I can start on the world. Seeing anyone in so much pain that they hurt themselves or kill themselves makes me wonder just how unhappy they were. I can't even imagine someone being so unhappy with their lives that they believe their only option is to leave it all behind.
No one deserves to feel that way. No one should have to feel that emotion running through their bodies and their minds. The end result of that will never be right. Everyone has the right to their happy ending. And an ending like that one should never be experienced. So what I think is communication is the key to all this. I'm not one to say because I have problems opening about anything. I find it very difficult to say what I'm feeling and show emotion but I would never end my life for it. Just talk to everyone, anyone, but never just no one.
