earthandanimals: Suicide? - STOP - think before you act.
There are a lot of posts going around about suicide lately. I thought I’d make one too because mine will be a bit different from the rest. I hope that I can reach someone and hopefully save a life.
I’m 21 years old as a kid I was smart, energetic and happy or so many people thought. No one knew what I was going through at such a young age and I sometimes even struggle with it today.
I know what it’s like to feel unwanted, to feel like no one cares, to feel like you have no one to talk to.. Not even your parents because you’re afraid they won’t understand. I know what it’s like to cry yourself to sleep, I know what it’s like to feel like you’re not good enough, not smart enough, not pretty enough, I KNOW. It’s okay to not always be strong, being strong is difficult. It’s okay to be not okay.
For 6 years I was bullied constantly. It wasn’t physical.. It was emotional. The worst kind. For 6 years I’d wake up every morning and cry at the kitchen table. I’d beg my mom to not send me to school. I’d cry every night and wake up with swollen eyes from the tears. A lot of people who have NOT been bullied said they understand.. But guess what? They DON’T they don’t know a damn thing.
I begged and pleaded for help from both my parents and my school. My parents told me it would eventually go away and to just ignore it. My school said they’d take care of it. Everyone said it would be okay. But it was far from okay.
I don’t blame my parents. I know they love me and they didn’t want to see me give in. They figured that the kids would grow up and stop being so cruel.. Which would have been fine except they didn’t.
I blame the school. Why? Because when you have a student who constantly is sitting in your office afraid to even walk down the hall because she knows the second she sees any of her bullies she’s going to have a panic attack.. You as the principle NEED to do SOMEtHiNG.. But I guess Catholic schools are all about going about it the nice way eh? Ha.
When I finally figured out that I couldn’t stop it, my parents couldn’t stop it and my school WOULDN’T stop it.. I broke down. And yes.. Suicidal thoughts entered my mind. Can you believe that? Suicidal thoughts entered the mind of a 10 year old. TEN. I thought to myself if I was no longer here all of this would stop and I would be at peace for once and for all. There would be no more constant tears, pain or anger. It would all just disappear and so would I. I thought if I was gone then they would all be sad and it would be the ultimate pay back.
I was wrong… You want to know what would have happened if I went thought with my actions that night? What would have happened to them? NOTHING. They would have gotten a slap on the wrist. My school along with all the students would have said “Wow.. Well that sucks..” and they would have forgotten about it in a week maybe two. Bullies don’t care what they do to someone else. They are cruel and they are heartless. Killing yourself means that they have won. The war is over.
But Nevermind those people.. What about my parents? What would I have done to them? I would have shattered their hearts and broken their souls. They would never be the same. It wouldn’t have been fair nor would it have been right.
I know what it’s like to feel like you’re weak and you can’t possible go through one more day.. But let me tell you.. You are stronger than you think. You CAN over come whatever life throws at you.
To all the boys and girls who were or still are victims of bullying.. To all those who are dealing with something else but just as severe.. STAND UP. Look in the mirror and tell yourself that you are a beautiful strong individual and that nothing and no one can put you down. STAND UP against your bully or bullies, fight back, do whatever you have to. STAND UP against whatever problem you may have.. Look it dead it he eyes and tell it “You will no longer consume my life.” Stand on your own two feet and fight back with all you’ve got. You were put here for a reason.. Don’t you dare take yourself out of the game for anyone.
Look in the mirror everyday and say “I am strong.. I can and I will over come this.” believe in yourself and stay true to who you are no matter what.
A lot of people say to me “You don’t know what goes on in my mind” when I’m having discussions with others about suicide. I may not know exactly what goes on but I have a pretty good idea. I never knew that another human could drive another human so far down under water that they would actually contemplate ending their life. What does that say for our species? How cruel are we that some actually take pride and pleasure in making others miserable? That’s not right, it’s not fair and it’s not okay.
This all happened to me from the time I was 6 til I was 12. I live above a funeral home.. My family owns it and I’ve lived here all my life. As I got older I’ve seen things that are indescribable. I’ve seen young teens who committed suicide who still have the scars on their wrists or that indent where the rope was. I’ve seen their families and friends breaking down, some even fainting on my stairs. The pain in their eyes was unbearable to even look at. I’ve seen the after math of suicide and it isn’t pretty. It isn’t fair to your family or your friends but most of all to YOU. It isnt fair that aomeone actually drove you to the point where you felt you had no way out other than to take the way out. Suicide is the easy way out but it isn’t the right way. People DO care. They just don’t show it enough. Reach out to them, to anyone.. Get help. Demand for help if you have to. Do whatever it is you have to in order to take care of YOU.
Life isn’t easy.. In fact it sucks a lot of the time.. But what a lot of people don’t realize is life can also be beautiful. You only have ONE. Live it to the fullest because it won’t last forever. You’re young and you’re beautiful. You don’t deserve to be treated like an outcast. No one does. So stand up and fight back. Dig yourself out of the rut you’ve been laying in for who knows how long. Tell yourself it’s going to be okay.. Because believe it or not it will.
Please.. Please.. Please don’t ever kill yourself. Don’t kill yourself over anyone or anything. I know my story was mainly about bullying but I also want this to go out to those who are struggling with different problems.. Whatever they may be. May you be the person you were born to be and may you gain the strength to fight back. You have it now put it to use.
I will be here if anyone needs to talk. You can message me privately or you can go on anon. Just please talk to someone, to anyone. Talk to me if you want. I’ll be here.
Stay strong beautiful.
