No one just kills themselves over a song, just like no one goes out and kills someone else because they saw it on tv or becuase they saw it on a video game. It all starts with some sort of unbalance first, or something that happened to them in their life to make them act that way. It makes me very sad to hear stuff like that, and the fact that it could have been prevented if someone had cared enough to talk to the kid! Most teen suicides (even adult!) and killings such as Columbine (spelling?) could have been prevented if someone had talked to them to see what was wrong or if those dumb as teachers would have done something about kids making fun of those boys! Ugh, it makes me SOO ANGRY that people don't care about other people! We all have to go through this life and it is hard on everyone (harder for some then others, but still) and we should all help eachother through it and show eachother the good things in life, no matter how hard it is to find it.

I'm the type of person that people feel comfortable talking to and confiding in, so whenever someone comes to me and tells me how horrible their life is and how miserable they feel and how they are treated unfairly and what not, I first off make sure their not suicidal or anything, and tell them about a few friends of mine. One friend of mine, when she was a baby her "mother" put her in a black trash bag and threw her in a dumpster in downtown Cleveland. An old lady found her because her cat was clawing at the bag. When my friend found out about this when she was about 13 (someone had adopted her after that), she took it very hard obviously, but mostly because her "mother" had 5 other kids, and my friend couldn't figure out why her "mother" got rid of her and not any of the kids. Another friend of mine was in a car accident with her mother when she was 9 yrs old and became parapalegic. After the accident her "mother" decided that she didn't want all that work to take care of her, so she put her up for adoption. When I tell people about that, it kinda sobers them up and they realize that maybe their problems aren't as bad as they thought. If we all just took time out of our day to ask a friend, or family member, or aquantinance, or co-worker, or even a complete stranger how their day is going and if everything is ok, there would be alot less unnecissary deaths. Sometimes all people need is a lended ear!

Enough of my ranting, but this subject is very important to me!
