If you see something, say something...

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.

No child should have to experience death at such an early age. Not to mention so close to her. No doubt it will forever change her life. Pray for God to help y'all through this

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

I appreciate that, it's not that deep for me though. Like my feelings about it are probably healthy, I wish I had helped but I also understand I was a 10 year old myself. Maybe even younger I just know it was at Kemp elementary school so I couldn't have been older than 10.

At the time I didn't really understand what happened, they had a lot of outside counselors come to the school to talk to the kids that were both her friends and her bullies. She was in my class but I was really neutral to it all so I don't recall talking to them.

Just haunts me that a girl that young could be driven to that, I can remember one time on the playground she was surrounded by a bunch of boys just saying mean things to her and she was in tears, one of the other girls stepped in and basically lashed out at all the boys till they went away.

I've been fortunate to not be close to anyone who has committed suicide besides a few old friends and neighbors who I hadn't seen for decades.

When I say it haunts me it's no more or less than it should. It's a reminder to be kind to people.

Heartbreaking 13 is way too young. Prayers up for Jackson, that family, and your daughter. You’re right permanent fix, temporary pain.

I thought about it twice today....

I was half joking just because of my last week in this one room.

If I even walked into that room, I'd be a goner for sure. Electricity is not my friend when handling lol

Electricity is not my friend when handling lol

Reminds me of the time I installed a Ring Doorbell camera at my house. I didn’t cut the electricity off to the doorbell.

Let’s say that I got a little shock and the nickname “Sparky.” 😂

I was woking one time in an office building equipment room that housed a large step-down transformer.
It was buzzing loudly when I walked in, but I only had a couple of phone cross-connects to do, so figured "no biggy".
Well, that mf'er blew, room went completely dark, that burning insulation smoke and smell choking me, on top of almost crapping myself when it exploded.. Stupid me didn't have a flashlight (last time I was ever without one). Room was small enough that I found the door and was able to get out pretty quickly.
Then the building maintenance guy tried to blame me for the outage. Figure he was trying to cover for a mistake he'd made. A-hole.
