I love victim mentalities and people who feel they have to feel for everyone else and accuse everyone else of being apathetic and heartless. Stop bleeding for them, they do it enough for themselves. You don't think any part of it is their fault when they push everyone off and feed their negative emotions with depressing songs, dismal poetry, or by locking themselves away?
I've spent four years between 1999 and 2003 volunteering as a counseling aide at a high school for young parents. I can't tell you how many girls I've seen as young as eleven who pull themselves into a depressive funk, shoot their self esteem to hell, and wind up pregnant because they can't be bothered to care enough to say no anymore or because they sometimes even want to make themselves miserable and try to become pregnant early.
I'll have compassion on those who have suffered and became depressed for it, I've dealt with plenty of rape victims and the like and I do everything I can to help them, but I have nothing for people who allow themselves to become depressed first and make themselves and those who love them suffer. Even more frustrating is that the ones who did it to themselves are usually the ones that won't allow themselves to be helped, they become addicted to it, apathetic towards life, or screw their lives up horribly.
Those girls in the article had no reason to be depressed or suicidal, they did it to themselves.
Suicide isn't cowardly, it's wasteful, stupid, and selfish.
