Help

He tells her his problems, Expecting to be comforted by soft lies. She says his problems make her mind ache, That he is just a liar, Expecting attention. But what if thats all he wanted? A few days pass, And she hasn't heard from him in a while, One day she finds a note under her door that reads, "Screw this place, I hate you all, I thought you might want to know, This is the end for me, whether you care or not, I'll never see you again", And the girl thinks he is joking. A few days later, The boy was not joking, And ended up killing himself. The girl was heart broken, Thought it was all her fault, Takes her own life in a spiral of depression. This may be metaphorical, But make sure, You don't make the same mistake, If a friend comes looking for help, help them. Regardless of how they have treated you, Not trying to help someone, Who is about to write a suicide note, Is that not the same as having their blood on your hands?

suicidal people, if they truly mean to do it, will do it no matter what. If you think the person was serious and do nothing, yes it's kind of on your hands. But if the person is using a suicide hanging it over your head as a threat to make you stay with him and he is just an awful person you should not be with. Then it is not on your head , just my opinion.

I agree completely... But when you have a friend who is going through that type of stuff, to me, its an obligation to help them get through it... But when someone is hanging it over your head like you said fuck them... just as you said

Yeah, I wrote this to let people know that they aren't alone in the world and to turn to friends if they need help with their problems... Keep strong
