There has been something on my mind lately that I can't seem to stop thinking about; suicide. Up until January 14th 2010, I had never known anyone close to me who had successfully completed suicide, her name as most of you know is Phoebe Prince the 15 year old who took her life due to excessive bullying. Phoebe was my best friend, team mate, and neighbor at school's cousin; Phoebe came to my field hockey games to cheer M on and I was lucky enough to say I had met her. I have yet to talk about it in this blog but it was only 3 years ago that I myself was bullied everyday in high school and I hated myself and everyone who laughed, starred, walked away, and ignored the idiots who said things to me in school. Since then I have grown and become stronger but Phoebe wont ever get that chance, now as I'm sure most of you have heard Phoebe took her life by hanging herself, she could no longer take the abuse and I do NOT blame her at all I'm sorry for her. I am however now privledged to watch M slowly ware herself down little by little while blaming herself for Phoebe's death. The picture I have inserted in this entry I merely stumbled across from one of her news articles and God it hit me hard. M is a good person, she is sincere, loving, and now caring the heaviest burden of all. I wish there was something I could do for her besides hug her and tell her she will be all right. I love M, and I guess this is just me letting it all out because I can't blame Phoebe I just wish she thought twice.
Looking for the light, meg
