Depression

A lot of people think that if someone is depressed they are attention seeking, but I can't believe people would think that. These people are ill, they're depressed and they need help - like therapy to help them get better. Something has triggered them to this, like my best friend she had an abortion and couldn't live with herself. It's not their fault they feel so low and we can never judge someone. We can't judge someone why they chose to do this, because we don't know what's gone in their life and they are not weak. I think it's so sad when someone reaches this low point in their life. They don't want attention, they want help. everyone needs help once in a while.

When someone picks on someone else, how do you feel? What do you do?

When i see a kid picking on other kids, it makes me furious especially if the kid that is doing the picking is 3 times bigger than whoever that person is picking on. Some people can just sit back and let that type of stuff happen and say "well that's none of my business", but me? i cant. I know what it feels like to be bullied, I know what it feels like to not feel wanted or even how to stick up for yourself. I know what it feels like to feel like you don't fit in somewhere where you totally belong. There are battles that people our age fight every single day & we are completely absent to whatever there situation is. So when i see that type of stuff my first instinct is to stick up for those who (at the moment) aren't able to stick up for themselves. When someone steps in and kind of speaks for them, i believe it shows them that someone cares and that someone is seeing a piece of what they are going through. It makes them feel worth it, worth fighting for then you know maybe one day they will start to stick up for themselves. Also i just wanna say that maybe the person who is doing the bulling/picking is fighting there own battles. What if there about to hit there breaking point? i'm not at all saying that what they are doing is okay. What im saying is do not ever judge a book by it's cover
Suicide is the third leading cause of death among young people, resulting in about 4,400 deaths per year, according to the CDC. For every suicide among young people, there are at least 100 suicide attempts. Over 14 percent of high school students have considered suicide, and almost 7 percent have attempted it.
According to statistics reported by ABC News, nearly 30 percent of students are either bullies or victims of bullying, and 160,000 kids stay home from school every day because of fear of bullying

"For you have rescued me from death; you have kept my feet from slipping. So now i can walk in your presence, O God, in your life-giving light" -Psalm 56:13
