Teenage Suicide

Hey everyone, I want to talk about a serious problem in our society, young men and women killing themselves out of despair. Whatever is causing this feeling-bullies-abuse-being different-being alone-religion-sexuality-mental illness-feeling ugly-feeling stupid-feeling too smart. I want you to know I understand there are others in the world who have been through things which will help them understand you and even if you don't believe it, the world will help them understand you and even if you don't believe it, the world will be a darker place without you in it. Look, I was sexually abused from the age of 4 until I was 11, I was mentally abused and bullied because I was small, overweight, and smart. I felt like no one understood me. I hated myself because I was gay, etc...etc... What you are going through will pass but until it does I want you to think about something. God, whatever God you believe in, loves you. He spent billions of years waiting for you, he feels everything you feel, sees everything you see, laughs with you and cries with you, he feels all your pain and joy. When you die there will never be another person like you, you are rarer than the rarest diamond, more beautiful than any flower, you shine brighter than all the stars. You are the only there will ever be. Think about that before you end yourself. Peace :) Donny.
