For class today, myself and a few other seniors got to go to the middle school to help some kids and be kind of a like a big buddy. 5 and 6th graders all met up in the gym and got in to groups. I was the leader in one group and others had their own group too.
We gave them a paper to fill out by coloring in the little circle for there answer.
Questions like :
Parents smoke?
Are your parents divorced?
and one of the questions were, are you thinking about suicide?
At the end of the survey, they handed the paper to me and I would meet up with a teacher and give them the papers for them to look over. I was looking over some and what I saw, made me sick. I had 18 6th graders in my group.. and 9 of those kids colored in the circle of thinking about suicide. All of them put down, I get bullied.. I get made fun of because I don't wear designer jeans. I get bulled because I am not pretty..
A 6th grade boy walked up to me and said.. I want to end everything.. So i pulled him to the side and told him to tell me why.. His response: "My mom drinks... and my dad is never home.. My mom yells at me if I don't make dinner for my little brother.. I had an older brother but he passed away from an accident.. I'm sick of being depressed.."
I was like, wait a second.. I'll go get someone.. And he was like, Caleb.. I just don't want to go home anymore..
and started crying out in the hall way.
What the hell is this world coming to? 5-6th graders thinking about suicide.. They shouldn't even know what that means yet.
If everyone cared and swallowed their pride, we'd see the day where nobody died.
