The Shadows Are as Real as You Are

"Teenage problems aren't real. They're just hormones."

Just hormones?

Well what if I 'accidentally' fail miserably in school,

Is it still hormones?

Then what if I 'accidentally' run a blade across my wrist? What if I 'accidentally' shove a handful of pills down my throat? What if I 'accidentally' jump from the second floor?

What if I ACCIDENTALLY just give up on life?

Isn't it overwhelming to think that some people go through so much shit in their life that they've decided it was much better to end it all in one snap rather than to live?

Would you still blame it on hormones?

...

Research shows that people who have attempted suicide didn't actually want to die.

They just wanted the pain to end.
