As a 27 year old, I have to say this to all the middle-schoolers and teenagers on this site, DON’T DO IT. SERIOUSLY. And this may sound completely hypocritical, but speaking as someone who as early as 11 years old could only get through the day by fantasizing about suicide, some of the best times of my life were in college and afterward. Basically, to all you middle and high-schoolers, know that IT CAN GET BETTER. In 10 years you probably won’t know or remember the names of the people who’re currently making your life hell. There is hope. And although I am pro-suicide, I also feel that since death is permanent (sorry religious people, not a believer myself, though I’ve tried) you better be damn sure that’s what you want to do, as in you have a responsibility to yourself and your loved ones to go to therapy, try medication, go to church, anything to try to check yourself before you wreck yourself. I’m still trying to check myself, as it were, which is why I’m not actively suicidal. (But word to the wise, do not try alcohol or drugs to self-medicate. It may be fun at the time, but it will only make things so much worse in the long run. Trust me and my mistakes!) Public Service Announcement over.

A little off topic, but I actually liked high school for the most part. Its college that I can’t stand. In high school you brush all the shitty people of because they won’t really amount to anything so it doesn’t matter and you’ll have the last laugh. But when you get to college and you encounter the same shitty people you realize fuck…these people are the future
lol “Public Service Announcement over”
Don’t know if I’m pro-suicide or not… can’t make up my mind…
But anyway, good message. I figure people should experience life a good amount of time before making a drastic decision like that.

Good post!…Something to really consider. Check out the books and videos of John Bradshaw. Understanding, research, and information will help you
immeasurably. Stay the course, as you don’t know what you don’t know til you come upon some realization that tells you…sh**, glad I held off, cause I know what I’m dealing with. Cheers!
