Hey
Im a 16 yo gal who’s life is really really crap and lately Ive been trying to top myself and I’ve been getting
really suicidal, and i keep hurting myself I don’t know what to do or where to go for help.
Dear Suicidal,
You certainly got my attention with that letter. Now, please pay attention to me. Nothing, NOTHING, is worth taking
your life over. NOTHING.
You have obviously hit a low point in your life, but if you wipe your tears and look beyond the horizon of now,
you will be surprised to learn things DO get better. Really, They do. Bad times are almost always followed by good
times, you just have to be a little patient. And, while you're waiting for things to turn around, you have to work
on your life. Talk to someone...get yourself to a school or counselor or a doctor or clergy person, some grownup
in your life that you trust. Allow them to help you. NOW. Do not hesitate to help yourself...give it another try...please see
that suicide is not the answer. Suicide is never a solution. It leaves behind broken survivors and the eternally unanswered questions
of "What if...?" Ending your life at sixteen means you'll never know another sunset, another song, another
laugh-until-you-cry-joke, another perfect slice of pizza. You will never know that this period of the blues was
only temporary and what good things were in store for your adulthood. Please take this letter, print it out and
bring it to someone who can help you in person. Don't wait another second to take steps that will help you to love
your life again. Please write me again and let me know how you're doing. I'm going to worry about you until you
do.
Take care, darling, MsX |
