They say September is the Sui/cide prevention month but there are no such thing as "prevention month" exist in my book. Sui/cide should be prevented and talked about not only when September comes. Same as Teachers should teach kids how to stop any suicidal acts not teach them that once a person is depressed there's nothing they could do. Parents should be comforting their children not destroying them and saying "it's for your own good". And as a fellow human we shouldn't discriminate others just for us to feel good and feel superior, instead we should help others build themselves up so we will all rise, equally, together.
Suicidal acts and self harm doesn't only occur when you're 16-18y.o. it comes in every age.
TW: SUICIDAL ACTS // SH
I, myself, tried to jump at the 3rd floor in my school building. I was at 3rd grade, 8 yrs old, and I didn't even knew what su***de, depression or any other mental illnesses are.
When I was at 5th grade, I made a small cut on my thumb accidentally and for some reason it felt good when I hurt myself. I started to make small cuts to my fingers and pretend like I hurt myself accidentally but I stopped because I know I might get addicted to it.
When I was at my 1st yr of hs, 7th grade, I kept missing the way the cuts felt but i tried to fight it off and ended up hitting myself with my hands. But those aren't the only suicidal acts or sh that I did.
Until now I'm still fighting them. Whenever I see any sharp objects i still feel the temptation of hurting myself or worse klln myself. When I'm at my lowest it feels like everything is made to kms or harm myself.
We may not be the same person but I know you're strong because you're still here, no matter what happens I know you can handle it. IF THE REASON you're still not giving up IS NOW GONE then BE THE REASON that someone WON'T GIVE UP. You can do it! I know you can and I believe in you!
NO MATTER HOW DEEP YOUR WOUNDS ARE, THEY WOULD STILL HEAL.
It shouldn't be "don't let others affect you"
It should be "DON'T DO THINGS THAT YOU WOULDN'T WISH TO BE SAID TO YOU"
"DON'T BE AN A**H0L3 AND START UNDERDTANDING THAT NOT ONLY YOU BUT OTHER PEOPLE ALSO HAVE FEELINGS"
