TEEN SUICIDE
The way I feel about teen suicide is sadness and disappointment. I feel sadness and disappointment because I know how it feels to be bullied. I've been called fat, ugly, retarted,and unwanted. It feels like crap when someone u really cared for to call u those names or someone that u don't even know. One day I've actually thought about doing something really dumb which trying to kill myself because I didn't fell wanted, I felt ugly and fat, but if u actually think about it we as people have a lot of people that love us and killing yourself isn't gonna do anything better it's hurting others.
Quentin Espinoza |
The teenager that I chose is Quentin Espinoza. He was 14 years old and lived in Glendale , California. He was a student at Glen Hills Middle School looking forward to start fresh.Fourteen-year-old Quentin took his own life Sunday at his family's home in Glendale. It followed years of bullying, his aunt has since learned, first at his schools in Ohio and then at Glen Hills Middle School where he enrolled as a seventh-grader this fall. At his new school he was being mocked because of his Ohio accent. Police have found his instagram account before and after his death and have said he was being taunted by other teens. After his death Quentin had comments on his post which said, "I hope you die", which was being said by females etc. He had left a note on his bed saying he had been bullied since he was 7 years old. There was no evidence on how he had kill himself. Quentin's death could have been prevented if he had told an adult or his parents so they could have helped him out and be there for him and stop him or something.
I remember this one time, a long time ago I was thinking about committing suicide ,my mom doesn't know. I had thought about it but I'm scared of dying that's my biggest fear other than clowns (lol) . I had reasons why I wanted to do that well because in elementary I was in 4th grade I was really short i still am but people would call me little fat ugly first grader and that really hurt my feelings and the other reason why was because when i was younger i was growing up without mom and hoenstly it really sucks because i was in a house full of guys and m aunt but my aunt barely payed attention to be,yessi was a spoiled little brat from my dad but i didnt have the love from my bestfriend which is my mom. My dad would hit my brothers really bad to the point they would have broozes and he'll hit them in front of me ans i would start crying ,one day my dad hit my oldest brother angel to the point we had to call my mom for help and then we ended up calling the cops and we ended up with my mom for a while for the time we would go to court all of that would get me so tired of this life but I realized that i was to young to think about that and that i have a long way to go. All thanks to my mom im happy and enjoying life. |
