The day you killed yourself,
Your parents woke up and had to face the fact that their son had died. Your little brother stayed home from school today to be with your parents while they try to explain what happened and why you are not coming home. Today is the day your best friends walk through the halls like lifeless zombies with bloodshot eyes after crying themselves to sleep. Your favorite teacher cannot even teach his class today when he gets the news; he just sits in his office and stares at his computer. There are counselors in your classes telling all of the students about what happened, one of your classmates run out crying and the rest sit in silence and mourn your loss. The kids you thought hated you cry together while they remember what they said to you, they blame themselves for the fact that you are gone. Your girlfriend walks through the halls crying all day long and she doesn’t talk to anyone, she secretly blames herself for what happened to you. Your next-door neighbors wait for you to get on the bus with them but you never show up so they sit alone and realize that you are not coming back. An entire school mourns the loss of their class clown. They all know life will go on but they also know that nothing will ever be the same. You won’t get to watch your little brother grow up and graduate high school, you wont be around to see your best friend get married. You will not get to see how life would have played out. This will always be the day you killed yourself. You wont be remembered as this kind person always trying to make people smile, you will always be that boy who killed himself in high school.
When you decide to end your life, you are not ending your pain you are just passing it along to the people around you.
If you feel like you can’t possibly go on anymore sit down some place quiet and think about all the things you will miss out on. Think of the people around you that you care about and imagine them getting the news of your death.
