That’s so sad..

That is sad, but let me just say something- society is not that poor thing’s murderer. Why blame society every time someone commits an atrocious act against their own self? You may feel like suicide is forced, but it’s often a choice. You never have to make the choice to let yourself suffer. You can toughen up and/or get help. I’m sorry, but I can no longer blame the world every time someone hurts themselves. It makes no sense to me.

Further, maybe that child was suffering from something much deeper than the discomfort and sadness of being teased by other children. Because you don’t just become sad and kill yourself. Suicide stems from deep psychological depression. Also, I know calling another kid fat isn’t nice, but that’s the world. It’s reality, and I’m sure many other people have dealt with bullies before and turned out just fine. I know people will tell me, “but Daisy, she was just a kid”, but so what? She didn’t have to die. She could have chosen to toughen up and confront her insecurities. Or, like I said, she could’ve gotten serious help.

The world, my darlings, is an ugly place. We’ve all been through something or other with mean people, bullies, bastards and biotches who don’t like us, but we cannot blame them for our problems. Why? Because you don’t have to listen to them. You can get help. It should terrify anyone that whenever a person gives up fighting, people blame their aggressors without even questioning the victim’s courage or the affection of those who claim to love them.

Nobody deserves to feel marginalized by society. Nobody deserves to feel like there’s no hope left. Telling people to suck it up and get help if they need it is easier said than done.

Yeah just suck up your chronic depression… wait… what the fuck?

I wish I could suck it up.

I’m suffering from chronic depression. I’m suicidal all the time. Going outside scares me to the point that I scream to drown everything out. I burn instead of cut because the scars aren’t there and my parents can’t see them. I’m getting help but everyday, everyday is a fight for life, for me to be happy.

It’s so much harder than you think. I urge you to step in my shoes, to step in another’s for their depression and suicidal thoughts. It’s a lot harder than you think it is.

oh my god, why would anyone tell people with depression to suck it up?  just to sound smart or tough or enlightened?

@missdaisyvo: you are beyond callous and insensitive.

I really despise the sentence ‘just toughen up and/or get help’ when talking about suicide. First of all, if anyone would like to take me to task for my numerous suicide attempts, which were certainly exacerbated by abuse and molestation at the hands of others, who had probably had it embedded in their heads that people like me were free for the abusing, that once we no longer conformed to a pre-set socially acceptable norm, we were fair game for others. People used to snatch at my body and my clothes, pin me against lockers to run their hands over my body because they couldn’t tell whether I was a boy or a girl because I didn’t fit social gender norms or body norms. But really, all I needed to do was toughen up.

From day one, we’re taught what’s acceptable, what’s beautiful, what’s appealing, and what’s desirable. We have it crammed down our throats and shoved in our faces that if we do NOT look a certain way we are not worthy of human respect. We are not worthy of love. We are not worthy of intimacy. Some people can accept this message or subvert it or ignore it. Others cannot. For ten years, I could not. And I know that it was not just because I was weak or imbalanced.It was because every day I had a new set of messages, external and internal that said, you don’t deserve to live, you freak.

And telling an 8 year old girl to ‘toughen up’? How about we not.
