Re: 10 year old girl in Illinois commits suicide over LGBT bullying -

When I was 10, I had a lot of horrible things going on, but I never once even thought of suicide. That was a word not even in my vocabulary(And I had quite a large one)
Maybe that is due to the fact that no one sat down with me and mentioned it. In a way it could have put the idea in my head, whereas otherwise it would not have been there.
That could be a reason for an increased suicide rate. Just a thought.
I have never really been bullied. I always had the boyfriends ex-girlfriend talk shit (in high school) but it was never enough to get me to think suicide.
So I will have to assume that something else was going on.
And if they found "nothing too serious", then why can't they release it to the press. Words that may fall flat to an adult may be serious to a 10 year old.
I remember days where I no longer wanted to ride the school bus because of bullies. (I had changed buses) I feared getting onto the school bus and dreaded it everyday. But not once did I get the idea of taking my own life. So, where did she get this idea from?
This is truly sad........ I know many people who have taken there own lives and the reasons behind them are something that someone on the outside would consider "nothing to get hyped up about".
Everyone has a different state of mind and everyone's mind takes things differently and interprets them differently.
Did she ever express these feelings of suicide to anyone?
