| Many teens today have problems. I did my research(wow! a first) and i found out that everyday, 11 teens commit suicide, 3,288 run away from home, and 2,989 teens see their parents get divorced. Many things lead up to depression whether it be a break up with your boyfriend or girlfriend or a divorce or just problems going on in your life. Depression can lead to suicide. Many people don't take it seriously when teens say that there is something wrong with them and that they need help. If they don't directly come out and say "I need help", there are many ways you can tell something is wrong with them. I kept giving my mom hints that I was depressed but she never really took them. Then one night, I was like, ok, i'm gonna kill myself. But then, when I was about to slit my wrists, the razor on my wrist, I said no. I don't know what told me not to do it but I just couldn't do it! I know some people aren't that lucky and they actually follow through with it. Just think about it for a minute...why are you going to kill yourself? is it worth it? who do u think will be saddened by you absence. Think about a day without your father or your mother or your best friend or your dog or whatever you have important to you and imagine if they just killed theirselves. I'm sorry and i know that this has happened but look...they probably were tired of life just like u are. BUT IT'S NOT WORTH IT!!!! suicid is not the only way out! please reconsider and talk to me if u need to before u do it! Cutting isn't a good thing either. I'm past my depression and i'm the happiest person you'll ever meet! but i still cut. for reasons unknown. it just somehow gives you a high that u can't reach otherwise. Maybe i'm stupid for cutting but that's my way of expressing feelings and emotions that i can't express otherwise to anyone or anything. my story is on my legs. cuts here, cuts there. but hey, i'm not saying to go out and cut yourself for the fun of it! i'm not saying to cut yourself at all! i'm trying to stop but i get some kind of a laugh from the blood that comes. it's like my way of saying hey...look at my depression now. look at what it does! |
