5 breif reasons for why no teen should take their life
Safety & Knowledge at 7 Cups / by Nickayy47

...See more 1 Suicide doesn't take away the pain. The pain for you might stop for you, but then it is passed on to all of those around you. Killing yourself is pretty much going to make the lives of those around you miserable 2 You can never know how much people care about you no matter what, you aren't living in this person's body. You might think that no one cares about you, but do you really know for sure? People (and me) can get so caught up in their sadness that they don't even notice those around you. 3 You might not like where you live now but you just have to make it until you're 18 and then you can leave everything behind. You can make new friends, go new places and live a better life and make a difference in others 4 You can help people like you! You can make the life of someone else so much better that are going through the same things as you! You can make such a big difference! 5 Death is final, when you kill yourself there is no going back, you don't know what's going to happen to you. You can't live and enjoy all the things that you love on earth.
My opinion on the saying "Stay strong"

...See more “Stay strong” is the most dumb depression phrase in my opinion. Not that I have anything wrong with those who are strong, the saying can be interpreted completely different. When you say “stay strong” its can be taken as saying its ok to be strong but it isn't ok to be weak, like you have to shove down all your troubles and sad emotions and slap on a false happy face like everything is ok. Well, its ok to cry, its ok to be weak, its ok to crash down, or be insecure. Its ok to be emotional because its being a lot better than ignoring your sadness because when you hold everything in and don't let your emotions out, everything builds up and up and up inside until you can't take it anymore, no one can even help you because no one knows what's wrong so recovery becomes harder. Youre just stuck and shoving things down only makes life worse. Its so sad because there are so many people who live their lives like this, never telling anyone. “Stay strong” can be taken to be encouragement to keep shoving your emotions down, continue not telling everyone you're ok. Even if you mean well by saying it, “stay strong” just isnt worth using. Besides, people with depression or whatever issues you have are already strong, you wake up everyday and face all your problems and deal with life...and that sounds pretty f_cking strong to me.
