the point of this is not to make anyone mad at me...or maybe it is, i haven't had a brilliant arguement in a while...er, just kidding. anyways, i was just looking through some e-journals (*less than three*) and well, alright, dude, i agreed with the school stuff. that's all good.
"People who know they can die are more responsible."
i just can't agree with that. speaking from experience (no, annie, i'm not like this anymore, relax) i wanted to kill myself. i knew that i could. it made me exteremly stupid in doing a lot of stuff that i should't. i didn't take care of myself, i purposfully did things that could kill me. not often, but enough. i knew that i had the choice to kill myself or let myself live. the thoughts i had were way less than responsible. i know some other people who are/were like that. why do people make kids think that they're safe? to protect them from the truth, that we are all frail humans. that anything can kill us. that we are the most fragile creature on this earth. not just physically, but emotionally and spiritually. people want to protect the young for as long as they can. alright, i admit that this isn't a brilliant idea. everyone wants to be free to make their own decisions. but can you imagine telling a 4 year old that they could get smooshed by a car? two things might happen: one) they laugh insanley because it's not yet real to them or two) they become afraid of everything. that's why there are rules that are drummed into almost every child. look both ways before you cross the street (so you don't get dead, that's the rest of the sentence).
what's the percentage of people in america who kill themselves? how about this hemisphere? how about internationally? these people know that they can die, yet they are irresponsible with this knowledge and use it to end their own lives. (i can empathize, don't think that i'm mocking these people, i truly know how they felt)
well, i think that's it. *ahem* everyone, feel free to tell my why i'm wrong...so i can post a comment to you that consists of the words HAH and HAH. jk. anyway, leave me comments, for real. (BFG, wth is with the mammy thing???)
oh, yeah, one other thing, what's everyone think about my new colour??
IF I EVER FIND OUT WHO THE SPAMMERS ARE, I'M GONNA STRANGLE THEM!! I'M SERIOUS, EITHER LEAVE A NAME AND A MESSAGE THAT MEANS SOMETHING (at least not obvious that you copied and pasted it) OR JUST STOP LEAVING COMMENTS!!! NO ONE WANTS TO VISIT THEIR BLOG AND FIND A BUNCH OF MEANINGLESS TRASH IN THE COMMENTS AREA!!

People commit suicide. They know they can die. But a majority of those people are so far gone that they don't comprehend that their lives are actually gonna end. They do it to get away, not to die. Those that do understand don't care. You're right, they're irresponsible with the knowledge. But that's a huge minority. Rationally speaking, very few people commit suicide. And I was basing my comments off myself, which I admit is a mistake, since my mind works very differently than the average person's. I've never had any huge dillusions of security or immortality, and that's driven me to make good choices about drugs and such, as well as given me a much greater feeling of responsibility about things like driving. Most teenagers are like, "Sure, I can drive and drive well, I'm 16." I, on the other hand, was like, "I don't know, I have not only my life, but also the lives of those in the car with me AND the lives of those OUTSIDE the car, all resting on me and my actions behind the wheel." So I waited until a time when I felt ready, which is why I'm almost 18 and I'm just getting my license... today, in fact. It's responsibilities such as these that I was talking about. But I'll admit, you did catch a loophole in my logic: I was only thinking of the mentally stable. I beg your pardon.

Here's my Theory. People kill themselves because they think there is nothing left for them. They think that no one cares. When in reality someone cares very deeply for them. And untill they relize that..well, then there doomed. It's not like my theory matters..I mean, I bet you I didn't even spell theory right..
