I've been seeing a lot of this lately..
People wanting to kill themselves because of their boyfriend or girlfriend.
Their relationship ended.
They think their bf/gf hates them.
They think they've ruined their bf/gf's life.
So they want to kill themselves because of it.
I don't get that.
You know how many middle school/ high school relationships work out in the end?
Not that many.
I mean yes, it does happen,
but most of the time, the guy or girl you are dating in high school
is NOT the one you will marry.
Everybody goes through a tough break up.
Everybody hurts their bf/gf's feelings at some point or another.
Every guy at one time will cry over their girl.
Every girl at some point will cry over their guy.
They'll be upset, angry, and mad about the relationship.
Either about how it's going or how it ended.
It happens to everybody.
I see all the time where people want to kill themsevles over these relationships.
But you know what I think?
I think that's a little dumb.
I'm not saying that the fact that they want to kill themselves is dumb.
That's horrible, and a serious problem.
But I mean, it's not a necessity to life to be with somebody.
You don't HAVE to have a boyfriend or girlfriend to survive.
And when you break up and think it's the end of the world,
It isn't.
It hurts now.
But it won't hurt forever.
And if the person you were with makes you want to kill yourself,
then I don't think you were with the right person.
Even the worst break ups should not cause a person to take their own life.
Because yes, there is pain when it happens
but the pain doesn't last forever.
The sun is still going to rise, and it's still going to fall.
Life will go on.
It's not over because you think some guy hates you.
It's not.
I might could understand if you and your bf/gf had been together for a long time.
And by a long time I mean years.
Multiple years.
If anybody reads this, they might give me a little hate over what I'm about to say.
But I think that the people that want to kill themselves over a relationship,
don't really understand what love is.
When you love somebody, yes, you love them with everything you are.
You care about them.
You want the best for them.
You never want to hurt them.
But at no point should you ever make the relationship so important,
so insanely important,
that it interrupts your life.
If something inevitable was to happen to them,
though it might hurt a lot,
you should be able to go on on your own.
You should never give that much of yourself to them.
Especially if you aren't married.
Especially if it's a high school relationship.
If you are going to commit suicide because you broke up with your bf/gf of 2 months.
Or 6 months.
Or even a year.
There is something wrong,
Suicide is a permanent decision.
Most of the time, a person commits suicide over a problem
that could be solved in a matter of minutes.
When things seem so hopeless,
it's nearly impossible to see how easy the fix is.
Suicide is permant decision.
And it is NOT the answer to a temporary problem.
One of my favorite songs ever is by Carrie Underwood.
The lyrics say
"Some times that mountain you've been climbing is just a grain of sand
And what you've been out there searching for forever, is in your hand."
Just because you can't see the solution now, doesn't mean there is one.
If you are out in the middle of the ocean,
you can't see land.
But that doesn't mean there is none.
It just means you have a float a little farther,
push a little hard,
tough it out a little longer
to see the shore.
