I am amazed by the stupidity of people my age all the time but recently it seems as though it has stooped to a new low. If you really care to see it first hand go to any myspace account (I hate that site for too many reasons to list) or even MSN spaces and you will see stuff like this.

When did this become the "it" thing? It seems like everywhere I look I see picture depicting some sort of suicidal act and just think how stupid can we get? An angst filled generation of suicidal morons that with pictures like this almost support tragedies like Columbine.

These attention grabbing mongers feel the need to hold suicide over our heads. How selfish do you have to be to make statements like this when for the most part you live in a society that gives you everything you could ever want? Still we go on feeling sorry for them when others are seriously considering suicide as an option. Crying wolf doesn't lessen the existence of wolves.

To you who may be considering this as an option to life. If you think that you can't go on, you need to put your priorities in place. Please don't fall into this trap that society feeds you about not being worth anything. Suicide isn't painless when those you leave behind are in pain. You have much more to live for than you give yourself. Please, if you are one of these people who think this, go talk to someone.

Am I too sensitive or could it just be that everyone else is desensitizing? I like to think it is the latter.

but don't take your life
because it's all that you've got
you'd be better off just up and leaving
if you don't think they will stop

and when you wake up
everything is going to be fine
i guarantee that you wake up in a better place
and in a better time
so you're tired of living
and you feel like you might give in
well don't
it's not your time
