Last year I was in one of the stalls in the school bathroom and happened to see a quote written on the wall. I don't know who wrote it, or who said it, but I found it funny. It wasn't a joke that was written. No. It wasn't funny because it was a joke, it was funny because it was the truth. Something that many people don't like to face today. This is what it said "We are just suicidal kids, telling other suicidal kids, that suicide isn't the answer."
I hate how true this is. Because if you haven't had any type of suicidal thought before then why do you have the nerve to tell kids who have had those thoughts that they shouldn't be thinking that. NO! It isn't those kids who tell us suicide isn't the answer. IT'S THE ONES WHO'VE BEEN THROUGH IT THAT TELLS US!
They tells us they know what it's like and that things get better. But after how long. No one knows, but once it does get better we end up telling the same thing to other kids. This cycle doesn't end. It never will. Because we will always have haters, and close-minded people out there that will hurt us and put us down.
We can fight against it all we want, but at some point one of us will fall. Because the ways of society get stronger as we do. It always seems as though they are one step ahead of us. But for how long. HOW LONG WILL WE LET THEM TEAR US DOWN? How long until we are nothing, but dust to them. Something they can get rid of easily.
So tell me. Are we just gonna stand by as a could-be-friend gets kicked around, stomped on, shot down? Or are we gonna be there for them? Trying to stop it with everything we have. How many people do we have to lose before we see that we are the only ones who can fix it?
Yes, it might be unethical for someone who has tried committing suicide to stop someone else, but if we don't who will?
So stand up for them, just once. Let them know that there are people who care. Because I don't want to see anymore deaths come from something like this. And I'm sure noone else does.
