Suicide Prevention Day (day late)

     Happy Wednesday everyone! I just wanted to take some time talk about suicide. As a lot of us know, yesterday was National Suicide Prevention Day. Have you ever wandered why someone would want to end their life? I can't even imagine wanting to end my own. But seriously,what would make someone want to do that? Usually they're mentally ill or super depressed. Many things can contribute to depression. Someone being that upset to want to just end it all. My heart goes out to them and I can imagine yours does too. Maybe they've been insulted insult by insult. They may have been beaten physically or even mentally. Why would someone even think to do something like that? Heck if I know. What I do know is that it needs to stop.
     A very close friend of mine was told that if that person were to ever die, no one would care. That person then tried to commit suicide shortly after... they built up the courage to not end up doing so and I thank God for that over and over. 
The fact that that person had to complete strength to not follow through is just a miracle. They are one my absolute best friends and it'd be really really hard to imagine life without them. The amount of people that would dwell and be destroyed over the fact that they had killed themselves is a numerous amount. So so soooooo many people would just be destroyed. And the thing is, the same amount of people would be just as hurt if you were to do it. What I'm saying here is that if you have ever attempted or thought to commit suicide, you need to never think of it again. God put you on this earth for a reason - a good reason too. Don't be that person. Be the person who overcame it. Be the one to prevent it. Be the one to stand up for it and be against it. Be there for someone. Build yourself to the right standards. You and everyone else around you is worth more than a million. Even the girl you can't stand, or the boss that butt heads with, or the person who has bullied you... no one is worth a suicide. 
Especially you.
