If easily offended do not read
I think
people who commit suicide are jokes. I
think that it is cowardly and
selfish. Before you judge me, hear me
out. Today, I walked into a school that is dealing with its
fifth suicide in a year and a
half. Fifth suicide. Five
lives were taken, fives different families never
getting their loved ones back and five circles
of friends that lost someone that can never be
replaced. And all of these people will blame
themselves for it all. “I could have talked
to them that day.” “I should have known.”
“It is all my fault.” They
will beat themselves up, repeatedly. They
will cry for hours and
hours. The pain will not subside for
months and even then they can still feel the missing
place in their hearts. But where are the ones that
caused all this pain? They
left their loved ones. They left them with
so much pain. A mother who lost her
son. A brother who lost his little
sister. A best friend who lost their
second half. It is so unbelievably
selfish. And it never
ends. My school is breaking down, piece by
piece. Everyone is affected by it, even if they never knew
them. I walk into school everyday wondering who is
next. What grade is going to suffer the
most? Almost pleading that it is not mine because I
don’t know how much more we can
take. It is getting ridiculous. No
one deserves to go through that pain. I
want to shake every student in my school and tell them not to
leave. Do not leave your loved ones. Do not let them
blame themselves for such a stupid
mistake. Do not be
so selfish.
Push through it. Because guess
what? You wouldn’t f*cking be here if you could
survive it.

I respect your opinion. But you know who I think is the real selfish one here? The person who bullied them, to make them feel better about themselves. You think it's selfish to want to die, because you really can't see your life getting better? It sucks. A lot. But you really can't call them selfish when all they did was see a better solution, even though it wasn't. You aren't acting selfish when you kill yourself, you're depressed. You know that five kids have killed themselves, so must likely bullied or abused, so why don't you try to do something? Like standing up for them, when you see it, because it's impossible not to. I respect your opinion, but I seriously disagree.

I have to say that, as much as I respect you and your quotes and people's rights to their own opinions, I disagree with you. It's not really selfish of the people who commit suicide. It's more so selfish of the people who drive them there. They are the ones who are most at fault, because they blinded someone with so much pain they saw no other way out. It's like they blindfolded them and put earplugs in while they were in a room full of people who were trying to help and love them, and then they handed that person a knife and told them that this was the best way to end the aloneness and the pain. Or, at least, that's how it seems to me. I don't think it's a truly selfish act. I think that maybe they think the world would be better off without someone like them, which is obviously untrue, so, once again, I respect your opinion but disagree.
