Dear Jacob

There is a boy on Twitter saying he’s going to do it. He has the pills. His name is Jacob.

The way I found out is through some stuck up idiots on Facebook saying Jacob is only doing it for attention, and he isn’t going to do it. But, how could they possibly know? Who are they to decide whether or not someone will or will not do it?  Unless they are posing as Jacob, then there is no way for them to know.  I’m going to tweet a link to this post to him because this is too much for 140 characters.

Jacob, I don’t know you, and I don’t know your life. But I know that feeling, the feeling of giving up. That there is no hope at all for you. I have had that feeling way too much. My aunt had that feeling and jumped from a hospital rooftop. I have had that feeling, and I tried to OD twice from that feeling. You just posted that you are silently panicking.  I know that too. I panicked both times and told my mom. I wasn’t ready, and I don’t think you are either. Please don’t take those pills. Like I said before, I don’t know you, but I don’t think you need to die. I don’t know anything about you, so why do I care so much? Who knows.

Now you are writing your suicide note. Done that too. More times than I actually tried to kill myself. Usually that is enough for me. Just imagining it.

Please, you don’t need to do this. You can send me a DM on twitter @HeadmasterLion
please.
