Change It

This is an attempt.

An attempt to get it through the pretty little skulls that

Just don't understand.

BANG!!!

When someone commits suicide, it is the result of an 

Illness.

Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder, Major Depressive Disorder, Bipolar Disorder, Schizophrenia

just to name a few.

Most of the time, when someone tries to kill themselves, it isn't really their choice.

Crazy, right?!

I sure didn't..

But the mindset these people, we, have, is that everyone would be better off.

We are just leeches, sucking the happiness or time or patience out of everyone we're near.

We must be eradicated.

We must...die.

But that can change!

You have the power to change that mindset in the people you surround,

whether it be a stranger, a loved one, or an acquaintance.

Hug them.

Tell them you love them and make sure they know that you mean it.

Value their lives out loud for them and the world to hear!

You can be what assures these diseases don't end in tragedy.

What can it hurt?

Share the love, show the patience.

Be the prevention!
