This Week Posted: 03-26-07 13:52pm
I found out this morning that another kid
in my school district has committed
suicide. A junior at the other high school
was found last .Sunday morning. He shot
himself after getting into a
fender-bender.
And then yesterday morning a junior at my
high school was found. He hanged himself.
I don't know why yet.
This is just unbelievable. Suicide is a
permanent solution to a temporary problem.
Why would you ever believe that you were
better off dead? I just don't get it.
Don't they understand how many people
they've hurt.
Two seniors died last year. The first,
.Lauren, died in a car accident at the
beginning of the school year. The second,
.Tom, committed suicide two days before
graduation.
I just don't get it. This is one of the
reasons .I'm still wary of becoming a
teacher. How do you handle something this
tragic for yourself and your students?

Those are just from the two years .I've
been at the high school. And .Lauren
wasn't suicide, just an awful car
accident. I didn't make that clear.
I can think of another suicide three years
ago, and another either the year before or
two years before that.
We're an upper middle class school
district, for god's sakes! Nothing is that
bad to make you want to kill yourself.
Seriously, .I hate this. I want to scream
or something.
Edited because I can't quote. Derr.

very few people understand why people
commit suicide. It takes alot to to do it
so i personally never understand why
people call it the easy way out. Suicde is
a part of life, it has happened for years
and years and isn't about to stop now. As
for you wanting to know how to help people
when you become a teacher, just make sure
they feel as though they can trust you and
want to talk to you, it's the only thing
you can do really, if somebody is going to
commit suicide then they will do it

Death was prevalent when I was in high
school. A very good friend of mine John
died in a drive by in sept. then a friend
of mine Brittany was murdered by her
boyfriend when she tried to break up with
him in oct. Then my boyfriend Bryan died
on (was found on) Nov 5th (the day before
his 16th birthday). This is something that
I cry about 3-5 times a week to this
day.That was just my freshman year. There
was about 3-5 deaths a year of friends
over the course of my high school. Of
course that probably had something to do
with the crowd I was hanging out with, but
still.
Honestly, it doesn't get any easier. I'm
sorry that you have to experience such
difficult things. And if it does get
easier for you you need to speak with a
counselor.
