Suicide. 

One of the few things that can stop words in my throat, and well up my eyes. The only thing that can actually choke me up, even if it's effecting someone I don't even know.

So many things have led to this. Many friends of mine have attempted suicide, or are/have been avid self harmers. I have a constant fear about 4 close people to me who are all currently in counseling or on drugs, except one, that one of them will just lose it and be gone. My mother attempted suicide multiple times through-out her life. This year alone I have to make two suicide watch calls for friends who had confided that they were going to attempt suicide.

I myself have and do still battle with severe depression, have in the past had self harming tendencies and made suicide attempts.

I feel it's a huge problem that's not being addressed properly in society; depression and suicide. They effect almost every person, and those who don't believe it effects them are naive or ignorant.

People are so focused on not letting people kill themselves that they overlook the reasons most of the time: bullying is the main one, and since people are just plain shit most of the time, nobody knows how to tackle it. It's simple - TEACH PEOPLE TO BE NICE! And create appropriate punishments for bullying. 

It just makes me angry. People need to be less shit.
