im not sure how many people have read about it or heard it. But teengurl wrote a post the other day, telling of how she was going to kill herself. Despite all that tryed to stop her, me being one of them, she did. She commited suicide. I was very close, VERY close to crying when i read the last journal entry of hers. For those that dont know, she emailed her friend before she died, giving her all of her DS log in information and told her to tell everyone what happend. She also told this friend to write a journal entry for her. and she did. I think its a great thing what her friend [Kimber as the journal entry refers to] did for her. I feel horrible about this. I really do. And while she said even though they tried, no one really helped here on DS, i think we should try and do something so that this doesnt happen again. I didnt even talk to her much. and im mourning for this poor girl. She was only 14. Thats such a horrible way to die. I think if some people that are thinking about suicide were to read her last 2 journal entries, they might reconsider. I know of two friends that i asked to read about it, and both changed their minds on either harming themselves or changed the way they thought about suicide. I dont really know what else to say. I just hope, this can bring us at DS closer together in high hopes that this doesnt happen again =/ and it may sound like im blaming someone, im sorry. im really not. I just feel really bad that this happend, despite all anyone tried to do to talk her out of it. I dont know what we can do to keep it from happening again, but i think we should do something.
In high memory of Teengurl. aka-Melissa.
is there anything we can do to stop this from happening again?

punkee, i wish we could. my niece attempted suicide at 17 and since then i have always wondered what i could do to help people not get to that point. maybe as a young person, you would have better ideas than i would. it's tragic though. but i can see how you can get to a point of not having any hope. are you sure that it happened?
Punkee
no, im not sure. But thats what the journals said. Sure, she could have faked her own death, but im not gonna go and believe that. i dont think she did. It makes sense what happend. and its really sad. If i were gonna commit suicide, i'd do the same by leaving my log in info and informing everyone. I dont know if it did or not, but im gonna trust what her journal says. I believe it. and i do wish there was something we could do about it.

i can understand that. i've been going through a rough time lately and i've been really down as well. but..i dont feel alone. not emotionally anyway. and, physically, i like being alone. i think sometimes..people who are down should just be alone physically for awhile..let them re-coop. but theres always the emotional support from friends and...online =]
