Please read this if you are ever feeling suicidal. Take my advice and please listen to what I have to say. You are worth it.
Suicide is a big deal and it is not handle the way it should be. As soon as someone is gone, that's when people do something. But we need to do something right now. We need to help people who are suicidal now so they don't end their life. People who want to commit suicide think that life is not worth living or that it'll end all of their pain. But we need to show them that taking their life is not worth it. Life is worth living and it will not end all of your problems. It does not end your pain, it just brings the pain to someone else. It's a permanent thing for temporary problems. If someone tells you they are feeling suicidal that means they want help. So you need to give them help and show them you care. Do everything you can to make sure they stay here. Call the police if you have to.
Life is worth living. I promise you that. Everything you are struggling with now will end later in life. All of the problems you face now will be solved. One of my favorite quotes is from the Suicide Sign Project. "Suicide does not end the chances of life getting worse, suicide eliminates the possibility of it ever getting better." Life gets better! There is so much to live for. Like graduating high school and college, getting your first job or first car, getting married and having kids. Going to parties and just living in general. It's the little things that matter too.
You are worth it. You are loved. Someone cares about you. You are beautiful. You are handsome. You are amazing. You are perfect just the way you are. You deserve to live. You deserve to be happy. It's okay to be sad. It's okay to be angry. But it's not okay to give up. You can have good days. You'll have bad days but those don't last forever. You look good smiling. You're laugh is cute. You're cute, such a cutie. You are wanted. YOU ARE PERFECT. One bad day does not mean you have a bad life. One mistake does not make you a failure. One million mistake does not make you a failure.
