I am writting about this because I think this is a serious topic... and also i think everyone can relate to it....and the sadness this brings to my heart and to everyone else who has heard and knows.
Earlier today a freshman at El Dorado, where i graduated from and where my mom is also a teacher at, commited suicide...
This is just a note of respect and understanding of what its like to feel that way at some point in your highschool term, or any point in your life. When things go wrong its hard to see that there is so much to live for, even if things have been bad for quite some time...
Speaking from previous experience, there is always a reason to live- doesnt matter who you are. It just hits so close to home for me....I also work at a high school and at the beginning of this school year one of my students did not return because he killed himself. Also alot of people who know me... know that a very close friend of mine that i grew up with killed himself...not a day goes by that I do not think about him or miss him.... or remember how our classmates at school drove by his house to take picture of his car where he "blew his brains out".
considering the fact i didnt know amber, but just because i didnt know her doesnt mean i didnt break down and cry when i heard all the awful details of what happened this morning and little hints about what had been going on in her life. Highschool is full of anger and humility, Kids these days are cruel and families are seriously messed up, naive, and not aware of whats going on in their own household.
I wish people would please reconsider the thought of suicide, when you are at that breaking point that amber unfortunately had hit...... It's selfish to not only urself but to all of those who love and care for you and wish nothing but to see you grow up, be succesful, be productive, and to be happy... not only to those who KNEW you but to those who would have in the future been blessed with your precious smile and presence in their life as well. This is just a wake up call to how serious it is to be involved with your childrens,friends,and loved ones lives, not just limited to the parents, im talking about family in general. Be an example to your siblings and family.
Rest in peace Amber and to all those who have suffered from tragedies like this one.
Sleep with the angels, because you deserve nothing less... |
