I was suicidal at a young age. I didn’t act, as I knew the impact it would have on my family. Maybe that’s the difference between girls & boys. You really don’t feel that there’s a possibility that things will be better.
I do remember that as a teen everything was much more emotionally intense. It’s a shame that anyone so young would feel so hopeless.
I, too, was suicidal during my early teen years. I cannot remember a time in school when I had any friends and I was left out of everything. The future was bleak and dreary. When I thought about a purpose for human existence, I saw nothing but death and futility.
I didn’t commit suicide for two reasons: the act was probably very painful and I wasn’t sure what was waiting for me after death.
On March 26, 1971, God found me. I Was 16.
