If you see something, say something...

Where there is will….good or bad….there will always be a way.
Convenience to something will not change a persons will.

Unfortunately you are right. Sadly, I’m all too familiar……..
By all means, if you get the chance to talk them down off the wall do so. But realize that your trying doesn’t make a bad outcome your responsibility. It took me decades to come to that conclusion.

Guys, please pray for our little town of jackson,Ga. One of my daughters close friends took her own life Friday at only 13 years old.. I keep asking myself where were her parents, where were her friends etc.. if any of you guys on here feel the same way as this person did please reach out to me and let's talk. That was not the way out. A permanent fix for a temporary problem... May God have mercy on that poor poor kid... Always remember IGY6

I’d like to speak with you

13. 😢
As a parent, that cuts the soul. I know I'm sounding old but simpler times had simpler problems than what kids today face. So sad ...

I am going to make a couple of assumptions, but I think this is the reason that kids this young should not be allowed on social media.

When you look at the typical video posted on Tik-Tok, Instagram, or Fake-book. These videos represent what I would refer to a a highlight reel. That rare moment that punctuates months of boring normalcy.

You get kids who can watch endless hours of non-stop highlights thinking that their lives aren’t worthwhile compared to the endless examples on social media.

Plus, it's easier for kids to bully other kids online and be exceptionally cruel.

There are numerous cases of teens and even preteens urging their depressed friends to kill themselves and even film it and publish it.

The Internet brings out the absolute most evil behavior in humans.

When I was in the fifth grade we had a girl hang herself in her closet, she was 11 years old. She got picked on relentlessly by most the kids, I didn't participate but I never took up for her either. Haunts me to this day.

If I could go back in time, there's a few people I wish I would have stuck up for as well.

Like all suicide or unnatural death, leaves those behind missing them and questions.

Can I ask by what means?
May

Like all suicide or unnatural death, leaves those behind missing them and questions.

Can I ask by what means?
Maybe not to be discussed. But,
Was a gun made available?
Narcotic drugs available?

If you are serious about stopping a tragedy, then it needs to be considered.
People who are pondering such an act also sit and ponder the “how”..
Take that easy available “how” away may have saved her life.

I'm not going to elaborate much about this little girls death as I and most of us on this site have probably lost good friends and family to this same thing.. I will say that it was not a gun or narcotics.. My daughter found out how yesterday & it broke her and my heart.. I'm not new to this kinda thing but I'm new to it being a little 13 year old kid is all Sir.

Pray and give it to God and let God help with it being on you every day.. I'll pray for you also that God will help that feeling go away also.. it hurts to feel that way but life always finds a way to teach us... I'm sorry for that Sir.... I really am
