These were grown men and women ****ing with this little girl, and look at how it got blown out of proportion. These ****ing people had nothing better to do?
As far as it being the little girl's fault, the kid was 13 years old. You know, I hate it when people turn their noses up at people who suicide like they've commited some unthinkable crime against the world. The person was feeling such an intense pain or loss that they thought it would be better that they just died then and there. I mean, can you actually grasp that concept? Do you understand what that would be like? And if you do, why are you then concerned about the people AROUND her? I'd be more concerned about what's causing it. And I'll tell you now, it's not the generation's fault. This generation didn't just magically spawn a bunch of young teenagers who like to kill themselves a lot, they were brought up in a way that allowed for it. |
The cause of this is the breakdown of the American Family. My dad(he's a doctor) sometimes works at this clinic for kids who have emotional issues and he's told me all of the stories that have led to this generation's problem with depression at a young age and potential, and eventual suicide. These days parents are only thinking about what's best for them instead of the whole family and divorces are often bitter. One usually cheats on the other and the whole family goes through a whole emotional crisis. While some kids manage to cope with the break up, others don't and they usually turn to drugs and other self destructive behavior.
After a split, situations usually get worse for everyone and with the loss of an income kids are often forced to leave their environments(It's MUCH harder to pay a mortgage with a single income) and eventually have to live in housing sub standard compared to their old one.
It's no doubt with all the emotional strife that these kids are going through some contemplate, and eventually take their lives.
