I was seven when my brother took his own life, he was 16, 3 yeasr after this picture was taken. I didnt understand then, and i wasn't told the truth, it wasnt until i was much older i found out that he took his own life. Suicide is wrong, it is a quick fix. I have done many essays on the subject and i am strongly against suicide, it has ravvaged families, destroyed lives and caused so much pain and sorrow in the lives of those involved. This is a notice to any of you who might be suicidal, sure, you dont have to listen to me, but you need tot lak to someone about it, not a shrink, lord knows, they just drive you too it, that is like putting the noose on yourself. but you do need help, you need assurance that what you are going through is normal, and that suicide is not the way out. I have had many suicidal thoughts and even attempted on a few occasions, when i was younger and things werent exactly going my way. but now i see that i only have a little time on this earth, it is just a pit stop to something better, but the only way i can get that something better, is if i put in my time here. suicide will only torment you, in this life, and the afterlife. Think of it as escaping from prison, what happens when you escape from prison? most of the time, you are caught, and put right back for longer, but if you do your time now on this preison i like to call earth, you will be granted a probation of sorts, just a thought. Until we chat next time, take care opf yourselves. If you need to tlak to someone, the kids help phone number is 1-800-668-6868 i think, at least it used to be when i used to call it, i used to talk to a lady named janet everyday for 2 years, they really are wonderful people.
