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.

it's because they're constantly babied and protected.
This shows how pathetic people's emotional threshold has gotten. And it's not the kids' fault, it's the parents', who baby them and don't teach them how to be able to take it.
I don't feel bad. People have reduced themselves to this pathetic state. If you let meaningless insults like that get to you (the designer jeans thing) then youre just... a spoiled, babied brat who needs to snap out of it and get real.
I'm sorry but this whole bullying thing on witty is getting out of hand. people need to learn how to handle themselves.
