Too many thoughts are in my head right now. I want to write, tell the world how I feel. I'm not sure the right words will come out, though. Or if they do, they might be in an incoherent manner. But it's worth a shot, because for once, I think what I have to say could be important, even to those who don't have a clue who I am.

First off, I wanna take the time to say that no one, and I mean NO ONE deserves to die. No matter their age, race, gender, religion, sexual preference, or based on what they've done. Especially the way some people die. By taking their own lives. It is not a way to get help. I know, everyone's heard this a million times, but I will be the millionth and first person to say it. There are better ways of getting help. There is so much more that can be done to solve a problem. And for those people who suffer because they think they are the problem, you are NOT! Even if one person doesn't like you, there are a million others that LOVE you.

Okay, let me back up. You might be wondering why I'm writing this. Well, I've heard a lot about teen suicides, for several reasons. And a lot of them were because the victims were bullied. In these cases, I do not believe this is suicide. This. Is. MURDER. It's murder, plain and simple. How? How is it not? Another person beats you, and hurts you, and kicks you when you're down until you just can't take it anymore. And at that point, it isn't you that's made you decide to go through with it. THEY did. The bullies who pushed you to the edge. Their actions make a poor, innocent person decide their fate.

And to those people who make them decide this...I. Hate. You. But even though they did this, they don't deserve to die. They should live on, feel the weight of the world on their shoulders, knowing what their words did. What their actions did. They should live with the guilt of knowing that they caused another person's death. Harsh? Yes, it is. But so isn't what they caused! They should be ASHAMED and feel so much GUILT for what they did! Just quit the bullying. Period. There's no need for it. All you bullies are is jealous. Jealous they have such a great life and you're just scum. I hope you're happy with what you've accomplished.

No one deserves to have their life taken by their own hand. No family should have to go through this pain, this torture. Parents aren't meant to bury their children. It isn't right! It's not fair. Not fair to the victim, their family, their friends, and anyone who even knows them. And it isn't fair to the rest of the world. We have to see such horrible people who live out there, and see what they can do. We have to hear about these victims of torture who just couldn't take one more day of it.

You know who I feel sorry for the most, though? Out of all of this? The bullies. They have to sink that low just to feel better about themselves. After all, that's all bullies are. They are people who hate themselves so much, they just have to pretend their better than everyone else, so they find someone vulnerable to take hostage in their cruel game. They throw the victim down, push them to the ground, maybe with subtlties and insults here and there, but they keep going and going, and when they see it's hurting their little play-thing, they feel powerful. People who take their power this way sicken me. The way they hurt others makes me cringe and want to lash out at them, tell them what they're doing.

This is my way of trying to reach out to those who are bullies, telling them to CUT IT OUT because you could end up carrying the guilt of causing another human's death. This is also my way of reaching out to those who are bullied. I know it's hard to do, but STAND UP FOR YOURSELF.

I hate hearing about young people having to go through this. It makes me shake, just thinking about it. It makes me shake thinking that someone so young thought they had to end their life so early. And everyone knows that they all have potential. Everyone does. When a teenager passes, it's always, "They had so much to live for. They had so much potential. They had everything." And it's always true! They could have become...famous! They could have changed the world! They could have done anything they wanted to! I feel so much anger and so much sadness knowing there will be one less great person in the world when this type of situation arises.

Bullies have no place in the world.
And the victims don't deserve any of the things done or said to them. They don't deserve to lose their life.
There are no bullies in Heaven, and for that reason, and that reason only have they moved on to a better place. R.I.P. </3

And the absolute worst part about all this? No one says a thing until it actually happens...
um, I wrote this after a recent suicide in the middle school in my district. It really affected me and made me upset, although I didn't know the girl.
It took me about two hours to get through all the distractions and figure out what I really wanted to say, but it's all from the heart.

And, I feel like I should say this, even though I feel kinda weird writing it, but I am not by any means a professional, so if you are being bullied, tell someone who IS a professional. They can help you way more than I can. And if you know someone who is being bullied, tell someone. If they can't stand up for themselves, maybe you can save a life.

Please just work together to get rid of this monstrosity called bullying. It's a horrible thing. :'[
