I need to address this NOW.

Okay, every where I see is something about Amanda Todd. If you don't know who she is, please look her up. I think that her suicide and her attempts and suicide are very tragic. A lot of girls my age or around my age suffer from depression and try and use drugs, alcohol and other thing to "cope". Its really sad what happened to her, but I personally think that she should have never posted those pictures and I think that she screwed up BIG time. But also that a large percent of teenagers between the ages of 10 through 16 have attempted or succeed with suicide, especially in the US. I think that her death should be recognized but so should others, shes all over the news and people saying how sad it is and how she didn't need the bullying.

I'm not trying to be hurtful, but I don't need the constant reminder that I AM NOT ENOUGH. Never have been, never will be. I also need media and people telling me that I'm not pretty that I'm not skinny. I also don't need to wake ever morning wanting to go back to sleep forever. And a lot of other girls and BOYS have the same things screwing with their own heads.Many people get bullied too, even some of friends, and I feel awful - even though I didn't say mean things, I was still there. And that I saw this Tumblr post, this girl posted about how her best friend, who was a boy, committed suicide and only three people went to his funeral. I cried when I read that. Because if anyone that way my actual FRIEND, they would still be here.

I think that we shouldn't broadcast anyone suicide story like that, is that what you think she wanted? Because  yes, I believe that its her life, she chose that path to death. But think about it, if you committed suicide would you like everyone to know about what happened and your story and your death? My personal opinion to round this out is that, its your life and if you want end it, I would try so HARD to convince you not to, because you are you. No one can change that, and life would be so different without you. And that if your alive, you should never be judged for thinking that its your only way out. I know the feeling, I really do, if you ever need some one for advice, or just to talk I'm here. But if anyone tells you something that you disagree with on suicide tell them. It helps, if anyone you know jokes about suicide and it makes you upset, uncomfortable or cringe tell them.

It will get better. If doesn't, talk to someone. It does help. I promise. <3
