Experiences with Suicide
I have never experienced suicidal thoughts but I know a few people that have had these thoughts. It was in 8th grade were my homie Jose Panduro was in a relationship with a girl named Brianna and they both loved each other very much. But a relationship doesn't last for ever so Jose broke up with his girlfriend because she was cheating on him. Later on she tried to apologize through text but Jose said "I don't care about you anymore". The following day she was crying in class and writing depressing quotes on paper and was thinking about suicide and was like that for the rest of the week. I didn't know what to do so I just told the teacher to talk to her and she got a therapist for her and in a few days she felt better. From that point on, every time I have a friend that is looking depressed I will try to help them my self and if I can't I will tell an adult for assistants.
