God, this is so freaking sad… :(((
I was looking at the Facebook profile of this girl that I basically grew up with, as my mom did daycare for her and her brother. She is a year younger than me, and her brother and my brother are the same age, three years younger than me. She had a link to this benefit for her best friend’s family…
This is her best friend in the picture, and that is her best friend’s brother, who is four years younger than me (a year younger than my brother)… He committed suicide on 11/22/09 :(((
He looks SO much like my brother, and my brother has mentioned being depressed at times in the past. But thank god, my brother is doing SO much better now though.
Seeing this page in memoriam of this young man (class of 2012! — SO young! :((( too young…) and seeing how much he looks like my brother had me bawling…
I can understand being depressed in high school, and I thank god that I made it through alive, because I have things now that are worth living for. I never would have known these things if I had done what I had often thought of doing… But it is SO hard to see these young kids killing themselves so often lately, in my hometown :(
I have survived suicide, when my grandpa shot himself, when I was 12, but seeing young kids with so much ahead of them do it… that hurts, even if I don’t know them :( I just want to say to them, life is so much more than where you are right now!! If you have bad grades, or few friends, or you’re being teased, or that girl is playing with your head, that’s temporary and it won’t matter in a year, a few, or even less! Wait and see where life takes you!
Ugh, anyway, now I’m a bit depressed :/ sorry if I did the same to you…- Permalink
