When I was 14 a girl at my school committed suicide. It was a private Catholic girls school so it was right controversial, and nobody really knew how to handle it as suicide is considered against God's will or whatever.
Not being a big religion person I just felt horrible for the girl, but there definitely were a lot of people who felt differently. When the teachers spoke about they called it 'the horrible accident' and they refused to see it as suicide, saying that she'd lost her way and all this other crap. Some bible-basher girls tried to convince me what she did was selfish and cruel, but I dont think killing yourself is selfish or cruel. Its just giving up really :/
I hate how they all avoided the word suicide, as if there was no way a 14 year old girl could be so unhappy. I hardly knew her, but telling someone theyre selfish for feeling sad is horrible. Espescially under these circumstances.
