We sometimes forget the things we say to other people. Sometimes it makes us feel better, in some sick primordial way, knowing that we have more power over someone by hurting them.
People often overlook the devastating effects words can have on a person’s esteem and character. We think that bullying is a part of life, when it shouldn’t be. We think that it builds character, when it only tears it down. Emotional pain, turns into physical pain, which can lead to someone to the point where they wish to themselves from the world.
As a childhood cutter, I know this well, and so will many of you. Which is why I’m so glad this boy refuses to give up. And I hope one day that he can surround himself with more positive people, and one day, be able to love himself.

If you ever want to read a poetic and terribly beautiful play about depression, suicide and self-harm, I recommend "4.48 Psychosis"
Sarah Kane, artist/playwright brings to life her plagues and pains of depression and self-hate in this beautiful play. “4.48 Psychosis” begins at 4:48am, when Sarah Kane herself would wake every morning, at the peak of her depression. They play is not written in a tradition form, it is meant to be interpreted at the desire of the reader. No characters are named, you create as many or few characters as you like.
Sarah Kane committed suicide before she ever got to see her piece performed on stage.

NotesJust finished “Thirteen Reasons Why” by Jay Asher. Completely fantastic novel. Shows the severity of how cruel kids can really be to one another. And how your actions, whether you think they’re important or not, effect everyone around you. Sometimes, not for the better.
