Suicide attempts in teenager; what's so surprising about them? Nothing, because it is bullshit to think that life is over when you're in your early 20s or for someone to say that their life sucks. You can live up till 60 and if you still think you life is the same as when you were in your 20s, then you can say your life sucked but not now, not in the present time.
WARNING: What is written below is strictly not for comforting any depressed teenagers. More so, if you are depressed and reading this, you might just kill yourself for good. You may think I am no one to talk about suicide attempts and all this attention seeking shit. Well, I'll tell you this. Suicide attempts, been there done that. Not proud of it but yes. I've tried taking pills (doesn't work unless you're Amy Winehouse), slicing my arm (notice I didn't say wrist because slicing the wrist would actually kill you) and had 21 sutures up to my palm and drenched myself under the rain simply because I was feeling low (then Mariah Carey's Through The Rain played and I went inside). The case you will read about later on involve a teenager sitting under the waterfall hoping he would die while telling everybody on Facebook. Now, that is creative. Never heard of death by sitting under the waterfall. Here's a tip, sitting underneath ANY waterfalls in Penang; you won't die. Try Niagara Falls perhaps.
PS: Suicide is really a BAD and UGLY way to die.
It is so sickening to see teens posting on social medias such as Twitter and Facebook stating that they want to die followed by #death #suicide #nobodylovesme #lonely. Bitch please, don't give me that crap. If life is bad or not what you want it to be, you can keep trying but don't look back. Who is born with a smooth sailing journey throughout life anyways? Even the richest person on Earth didn't have a smooth life planned out. Everybody goes through hardship.
The line 'What doesn't kill you makes you stronger' did not mean you could take your life, literally. Surviving a suicide attempt don't make you stronger. It wakes you up that you've embarrassed yourself. People who post on social medias that they want to die or committing suicide, are just plain ATTENTION SEEKERS. They have this disorder where they need to know that there are still people in the world who cares about them. Of course it is fine to tell them that you care about them every now and then but not when these people decides to pull something like this just so they could feed off the attention given to them. These people need to feed from all the attention and praises showered on them. If you're thinking of death so much, Facebook wouldn't be at the top of your priority nor would you be sitting there waiting to reply each and every comment your so-called 'friends' posted.
Recently, there was this teenage kid on my Facebook who posted that he is tired of walking in life. Then don't walk! Drive, cycle, run or whatever it is! His status was followed by telling the world that he feels lonely, sad, emo or whatever shit sorta emotions that leads to one thinking of committing suicide. He told Facebook that he sat under the waterfall for 3 hours and plan on doing so for another hour. I saw it the first time on my news feed but didn't bother as this wasn't the first time, few minutes later as my news feed refreshes itself, there's been 20 over comments telling him how his life is precious, that he is bound to make someone happy and others telling him, persuading him not to do such stupid thing. Something in me triggered (oh, I remembered. It was the BITCH in me) and I posted a very long comment NOT persuading him to not take his life but rather a wake up call. I will not stop anyone who wants to commit suicide especially those who goes around telling the world because they only want attention, not death. To me, what this kid did was extremely pathetic and telling Facebook? Aren't you ashamed as you still have to face your friends because obviously, you didn't want to die. There was another person who posted saying this is not the first time he posted about committing suicide. You think life is tough? Try heading to any NGOs and you will know what is tough. You think you got issues (although you've got some REAL big, nasty issue), well newsflash; EVERYBODY HAS THAT. It's called baggage at times.
Question; would you be busy thinking of ways to take your life or walk aimlessly or checking on your Facebook updates when you are suicidal? You want attention? Do something beneficial. Show people your talent, not the talent of posting on Facebook stating you're gonna commit suicide. The stupidest reason to die would be to die for love and from what we could all read, this kid's reason or part of it was because of love. So you think if you kill yourself, your ex would be sad? (Again) Bitch please. Yeah sure, exes maybe sad during the funeral. After that, it's time to bag me a new 'accessory'. When one commit suicide, the only people left hanging are the families and close friends, not your lover or ex-flame. On top of that, drenching yourself under the waterfall? Seriously? That will not kill. You will probably catch a cold which is treatable or due to the pressure of the waterfall, you will have abscesses built up at the back of your neck area which will result in excruciating pain to the point that you can't turn your head around or even sleep. TRUE STORY from my waterfall trip experience (no, I did not drench myself thinking I could die. I simply spend too much time frolicking under the waterfall).
People who are serious about ending their life would just do it with no warning, no notice, no Facebook post etc. You would see them today, happy, talking and making jokes with you and the next day, headline in newspaper 'he/she is dead'. Kids posting and telling everyone they know that they want to end their lives? Please, attention seekers. Well, maybe the world would be a better place if we are rid of you.
And please, nobody should come tell me that they feel like dying cause I would not stop you. I know what you want. You want comforting words. You want me to tell you that you are worth THAT much in the world and that you have your whole life ahead of you. I am not gonna tell you that because you already know it. You don't need no confirmation from me or anyone else. I might just give you a hand in pushing you off the cliff.
Latest update of this so-called suicidal teenager, he is happy and posting to the world that he is happy and how awesome he is. Christian, please. You call yourself a Christian and yet you do all this. Shame on you. A none practicing Catholic like me knows better than you.
