So, it's Saturday morning.. and I'm getting ready for a funeral. A funeral for a person who was once one of my pretty good friends. Things running through my mind right now? fear.. anger.. and of course a little sadness, but happiness because this person is in a much better place than he was.
You know, for all you who think people who commit suicide or want to are stupid.. or the act itself is stupid.. I disagree. Most of the time there's a reason why the people follow through with it. Can you imagine being down to that level? The level of low you have to feel to actually go through with it. And when other people around you, that are suppose to be your peers, your friends, and even your family are causing this feeling inside of you. It's not stupid to have feelings, everyone has them, sad or happy.. It's not stupid, but this is something that should never have to happen to anyone. But it does all the time and it did to my friend and one other person this week within 25 miles from each other. And because of bullying? Why do people get a kick out of being mean? Being greedy? Disrespectful? Do you want to be the reason this happens to someone else? I think people need to watch what they do and say, just think first. If someone was doing this to me, would I like that very much? And even if you're joking.. you never know how you're making that person feel. Just realize the seriousness and effects of your words and actions.. and be a little kinder. I know i'm rambling but I'm taking this sort of thing serious now.. and i'm not gonna be around those negative people who make mean or rude comments about someone else for no reason, especially without even knowing them personally.. and all the people who make comments like "i hope she dies"... that's sad. Dont wish that on anyone.. That's just mean and I dont wanna be around you either. I'm just saying.. I'm not putting up with it anymore now that this has happened..It's changed a lot of my views on things. Made me realize just how important little things are.. how important the people in my life are, and how important life itself is. <3
I'm sorry Ashley. This must be really hard on you. I get where your coming from though. Some of my friends tried to commit suicide, but they ended up living. Im glad my friends got a second chance, but i'm really sorry that your friend didn't
ReplyDeleteSo true. Some people will be downright mean and hateful to others and not think twice about it, like they don't even care about how the other person feels at all. Most of them don't care really, it's like they think they're the only person here with any feelings. The way I see it, those mean people will eventually get what they deserve. No one deserves to be treated like they don't matter, but the people that treat them that way deserve it more than anyone.
ReplyDeleteYou're right Ashley. People don't realize the impact of their words and they just say what they want to. People don't realize the feelings it gives other people and what it makes them want to do. Everyone needs to watch what they say because this is a problem that is only getting worse as our generation grows.
ReplyDeleteI agree. I don't know why it takes someone to die, for people to realize it like it took that town to realize it. And still even some people probably don't care.. Just from now on, I do. But yeah, it was hard on me. The funeral was difficult for everyone there were SO many people there and it was really well put together.
