Why don't people use their own brains? People use other people's brains but, those aren't always the greatest. Even if it were Einstein's brain, people should still use their own! Isn't that what it's for? Why on Earth would God have given them to us? Vreni uses Liz's mind, Liz (another Liz) uses her mother's mind, way too many people are depending on others. The guys in my math group depend on my answers. That's my fault though since I let them. Liz's mother isnt always thinking correctly. She may have all her cards but, sometimes she's not playing the right game. She tries to give opinions on Lindsay's behavior but, she doesn't know Lindsay. She doesn't know all that's going on but, nobody really does. Lindsay definetly needs help. Attempting suicide because some guy she's never met except online doesn't like her (she shouldn't be talking to him in the first place!) is not a worthy cause. She shouldn't be thinking about ending her life at all. Her life isn't that bad. Yes, her life is being turned upside down and backwards but, she wasn't raped, abused, or threatened. Her parents got divorced. I understand that. I know it's unfair to compare my situation and hers as no two divorces are alike but, it's hard to resist sometimes. The temptation is so great. Her and Liz are more vocal about their suicidal and depressive thoughts but, I have them, too. I remember sitting in my room, crying my eyes out for hours, wishing I had the courage to down a bottle of pills or slit my wrists. I never did. I never will. I always pull myself out of those funks. Not immediatly, maybe not that day or week but, eventually. I tell myself how amazing I am, how gorgeous, how talented. I remind myself about the good things in life. I think about who would find me, how it would hurt my family, how my baby sister wouldn't even remember me. I let myself indulge my feelings but, never to the point of suicide. I can't believe she'd treat life as so worthless, so meaningless, like it was something she can just throw away and not affect anyone. She can't I love her, her parents love her, her other friends love her. Nobody wants to see her dead. If she killed herself, I'd go to her funeral, I'd cry, but I'd be so f****** p***** at her for killing herself. She took eight Advil, Zoloft, and a sleeping pill in 30 minutes. She has to take the Zoloft (though it's not working) but, she wasn't in pain at all. There was no reason to take the Advil and the sleeping pill didn't kick in until nearly midnight when she took it at about 9:30 or something. These are the thoughts of a fourteen-year-old girl. Ciao.

Vickey, I did the same when I was Lindsays age, maybe a little younger.  The pills I took turned out to be hayfever tablets, so didn't have the desired - at that time - effect, luckily.  Things you go through in life can be so tough, but it's never worth ending it.  You never know what might happen a few years down the line that will fill you with joy.  Just think, if I had succeeded all those years ago, I wouldn't have met my husband, wouldn't have experienced being a mother, my son would not be here.  I hope that you still think as you did here, that suicide is not the way to go.  It really isn't, there is always hope, always!

You are amazing doll!
It's good to indulge in those feelings, to welcome them in for a moment -- get to know them, understand where they came from.  Indulge, but don't succumb.
Thanks for pointing this one out ;)
