You were created to love and be loved. You were meant to live life in relationship with other people, to know and be known. You need to know that your story is important and that you’re part of a bigger story. You need to know that your life matters.
We live in a difficult world, a broken world. There are good people. And there are bad people. You need to know that rescue is possible, that freedom is possible. You are not alone, and this is not the end of your story.
The most unexpected thing happen in school today and that is, a senior attempted suicide. From my first sentence, you now know what I'm going to talk about. Suicide. I do not know why he attempted suicide and I will not leak out information about him.
Let's begin. Today, I was going to the toilet in the middle of class when I realised everyone was staring at something from the corridor. Me, being curious and busybody asked a girl from Theta what was happening. She told me there was a boy who was attempting suicide. I was shocked and ran to see the boy sitting at the edge of the wall? (not sure what you call it but you get my point). From what I heard, he had already been there for awhile and refused to come down.
I will tell you what I think. First of all, I'm against suicidal. (I'm not sure whether it's possible, let's just put it this way. I don't think suicide is right) Certain people suicide because they have a lot of problems and they just wanna stop living because they think all the problems would go away. Partially true, you get to escape all your problems because well, you ain't breathing anymore. To me, I think it's wrong running away from your problems through death. It's just so wrong. There's an answer to all problems (except math problems), it is just whether you are willing to solve them or not. Yeah, certain problems take an eternity to be solved but it WILL be solved in the end and suicide definitely ain't the answer.
I do not mean to offend anyone but I think suicide is kind of selfish. At the moment, the person would feel like his problems are never gonna go away, he feel as though the whole world is against him and he is all alone. What about your loved ones? Your family members? Do you wanna hurt them by leaving this world ? You have to know that there is always someone out there who cares for you and loves you so very much even though you don't know it.
Lastly, people shouldn't suicide especially for reasons like girlfriend or boyfriend stuff. And again I don't mean to offend anyone but really? It's kinda silly you know, you're throwing away your life because some douchebag cheated on you or he/she doesn't love you. Through suicide, what are you trying to prove? You jump, you gone. He/She would probably feel guilty for awhile but after that you gone. They move on. So are you seriously going to risk your life cause of that? As for people who wants to attempt suicide because you're being bullied or because you're super depressed. No silly, you have to learn how to fight in life. Fight the bully, don't suicide because of him because of your depression. NO. You have to man up and fight life, that's why you're living. You were the freaking sperm who won the freaking race and life right now is your ultimate challenge! Complete this mission and end it with pride. That's what you have to do. It's not over until life admits it's defeat, you got it?
Everyone, think again before you want to do something silly. It's not worth it in the end and you can never get the opportunity back. Think super super hard. Yes, life is tough but no matter what, fight it because this is what you're here for. Life is your challenge. Oh and did you know today is Suicide Awareness Day? Ironic huh? I shall dedicate this post to people who have passed on through suicide and had made suicide attempts.
I hope you all learnt something from my post and please understand the message I'm trying to send out. No, I do not intend to offend anyone. I just think everyone needs a wake up call.
PS: Write "love" on your hand to show people who wants to suicide that they are loved and cared about
Think Hard and Think Smart
