suicide

Just so you know, I have done reading Thirteen Reasons Why by Jay Asher just last night. If you are not familiar with this novel, this is about the tapes by a girl who committed suicide. She recorded the reasons for her suicide and sent out the tapes to the people involved in it. That's the only thing I'll tell you so I won't spoil anything for you. If you want to know more about this novel, you can google it or just read the book. 
Thirteen Reasons Why made me see the thoughts of a suicidal person. And I admit, I could relate to some parts. We should be sensitive to people who are prone to suicide or depression. These people usually appear to be fine on the outside, yet their emotions and thoughts are not. It is also very hard for a person to come out and admit that he/she is suicidal. It takes a lot of courage to do that. A LOT. They probably use up all the courage they have left. But, most of the time, they are not taken seriously. The fucked up society often thinks that suicidal persons are just attention seekers. Yes, they do need attention, but not that kind of attention you are thinking. They need help, and for them to ask for help, they need your attention. But most people just shrug them off thinking that they are just looking for attention. Well, you are so wrong. These people should be taken seriously if you care for their life. 
I am telling you: these people have a hard time reaching out so you should be the one to try and reach out to that person if you don't want to lose them and eat all the blame and guilt. You should be aware of these kinds of people. Looks are deceiving. You'll never know if that normal guy, or perhaps, the happiest-looking guy is the one needing your help. Deep down, these people are looking for help. They just don't to whom and how to ask for it. 
Once these people felt like no one actually cares, they would eventually stop looking for help, and they would decide on their own. Oh, you know what would happen then. Just like in that novel.
Honestly, I think this novel reaches out to people for them to be aware of the thoughts of a person who is giving up on life. And for people who are on the verge of giving up: you should always know that someone out there cares, you just have to find out who, but I am definitely sure that someone cares.

Dear anonymous reader, 
Notice that I do not include myself on the pronouns used in that post. That is because I am stuck off somewhere in between. Now, before you go off judging me because of this post, let me tell you this: I AM NOT SUICIDAL (for nowww). As of this moment, I am sane enough to not think about that. I just wanted to share my thoughts about suicide. If you personally know me (I don't know how you got here, stalker! Ha, kidding), you might as well read between the lines.
