It's another day, another morning. Yet I can't help but feel the familiar dark shadow swallow me as I make my way to the bathroom. |The house is quiet but not empty. Down the corridor sleeps my two sisters and up a floor sleeps my father. He is jobless but spends his days gambling on Internet poker sites. When he wins it's great, a sudden smile brightens his face. When he doesn't it's as though the shadow becomes darker as I realise how much he's lost. What happens when my sisters and I leave the small house for our own lives? He is going to be alone. I can't help but worry about him. Even if he doesn't care about me.
School is the same as usual, English, History, French, Art, Lunch, P.E and then Algebra. A never ending circle. I still have two years before I leave this hell hole they call a school, Then I'll set on my own path. I doubt I will get far. I have no income at home and a job as a waitress is not going to pay my way into college.
I have friends, Their names Emma, Jade and Anna. They are great friends but are currently to preoccupied to realize what is going on with me.
I won't be missed, I won't be noticed. When I return home I automatically grab the rope from the garage. The scene is set, A chair, some rope and a small note lies on the bedside table. The leap is easy, the lave is not.

They will find me two nights later, shock will fill their faces. A small note shedding a little light on the cause.
Will you see me now?

Description:
In Britain, Someone tries to comit suicide every thirteen miutes. In the U.S. SOmeone dies ever Eighteen minutes.
It is a short story but I believe it shows an insight on to the feelings that can bring on suicide. I know it is a subject most of us try and ignore but we can do this no longer. To those who feel that suicide and self harming is the answer, you are wrong. Speaking out is.

Very emotional,
and suicide is something everyone has an opinion to my opinion is that they do it because they're afraid to continue living like that
and, the future holds many possibilities yet they ignore that fact. - Report As Spam
