On Wednesday afternoon, that was my main focus: Suicide. I know that seems a little bit extreme but it felt like I had all of this weight on my shoulders and I couldn't lift it. So, during bible study, I decided to ask the teacher about it. "I have this friend in um...New York. Yeah, New York and he's gonna kill himself. What will happen for him after death?" The teacher pondered on it for a while. "Well, it's really unclear about it in the bible but hmm I'm not really sure. We only can do so much for others and well after that, it's best to leave the rest to God. Sometimes, they think they want to die when in reality, they want to be saved. I understand hardships of teens - not being good enough, wanting to be accepted, wanting to fit in, wanting to have friends, wanting to find their purpose in life but in some cases, when you tried everything in your power or they're determined, it's best to leave God the rest." "Oh...I see. Thank you." If I do this, I hope I'm completely right with God. I was now walking home thinking, "Maybe.....things will turn out for me.." I tried telling myself. Half of me had hope and the other half had nothing. Hope is like a double-edged sword - it's cruel to those who cling on to it.
