Too Young for Suicide

She’s only 12 and can’t take it anymore.

When I was that age, suicide wasn’t even in my vocabulary. I didn’t know what that meant, it wasn’t an option. But in today’s world, children are getting bullied through various mediums and a good deal are turning to suicide as a solution. It’s a devastating trend.

She’s told me all her complaints, concerns, worries and I’ve experienced them all. I’ve cried countless nights because of them. I know exactly what she’s going through, but to her it’s not the same.

I’ve tried talking to her but she can’t grasp the thought that it gets better.

She’s not even a teenager yet, how can such a beautiful little girl have these thoughts?
