By Robin Raven May 25 at 9:00 AM At 10, I sat down in my teddy bear chair that was getting a little too small for me, and I wondered what I had done to make my daddy hate me. I thought he must hate me because he threatened my life. Just the night before, I’d heard him say he might turn on the gas to our house, and he said it would be better if we all were to die. But I didn’t want to die! Not then, anyway.
I thought I could tie all my hair ribbons together and make a noose, but I didn’t go through with it. I’m so glad I didn’t because there are so many things that I’d like to tell my younger self now about being depressed, hating oneself and eventually, surprisingly discovering life on the other side. And then fortuitously a new and true friend stepped in, getting me to open up about my pain and the gently encouraging me to consider therapy. After reading “Someone To Talk To” by Joyce Houser, a book about what really goes on in therapy, I decided to try it.
Yeah, you may feel hopeless now, but it’s temporary; there are so many other feelings within you that will replace the ones that feel so unbearable now. The pain — like the dizziness — isn’t forever. It’s in the trying that you will finally learn to be all right and put these suicidal feelings behind you. You might not feel like you have anything to give, but you do. There are persons of all species who need you just the way you are.
Robin, thank you for this very powerful article so many people need to hear this message, I wish my own son had read it. Please continue to share your voice. Thank you, Helen
5)With licensed®ulated helpers,they'll be able to guide kids thru rougher shores where their peers or own parents,either misunderstood or intentionally had caused grievances. Life is journey,& no one needs to be alone to make that uncharted journey...
4)The internet was created to reach out to all,to help solve problems.Although humans hv a propensity to misuse it,there r many others who use it beneficially,&this is such an instance to help troubled kids. Govts will hv to step in,&offer perhaps BE-FRIENDER orgs.
3)Even if they think they r alone with no one,they still have us-society,as they r the future of Humanity. They must not be abandon or left behind.
2)It can be bewildering as very often they take issues seriously&at face value,kept at heart/mind & will only eventually boil-either by rebellion or by taking one's own life. Although they may be a minority,each life is precious&means something to another.
1)Childhood can a bitter experience for growing kids,once they start schooling&sharing new experiences beyond home,subject to pressure from parents&a diversity of peers with all dif backgrounds,bullying&being bullied,discriminated,etc..a microsm of adulthood they r not ready for.

She is not the only one. At 8, I knew I would die by suicide. Or be murdered. I have successfully avoided more than a few attempts on my life. I am 68, disabled, poor, in an abusive situation, no money to move or place to go that I can afford. My condition is deteriorating. Next.
I am 46, when I was 10 I didn’t even know the meaning of the word suicide, words like depression, anxiety, bullying were not in my vocabulary

10 Things to Know for TodayAmong 10ThingstoKnow: More Democrats seeking impeachment proceedings against Trump; North Korea hurls insults at Biden over Kim criticism; Nonprofits turn to cryptocurrency to help needy Venezuelans. Democrats are a cancer North Korea's correct about Biden, he's bad news for USA, as well. Biden stated half of people in USA are dregs & scum, which is worse than the statement they were 'deplorable'. Obviously Dems haven't learnt a thing, they're a party of murder of infants & hate of real Americans. The reason the Democrats want to impeach, is because they know they don't stand a chance going against him in the polls. The elections are only a few months away.. and this is why the Trump haters are working over time, they too understand that Trump can easily win the elections.

The richest 10% of households now represent 70% of all U.S. wealthThe rich are getting richer. It is a refrain that has certainly been uttered before, and likely will again, as Deutsche Bank’s chief economist says the gap... Its called the 80/20 rule its about on par with the rest of the developed nations which is EXACTLY what federalreserve intended to do their strategy has succeeded beyond their wildest dreams.....a rich overlord class and a population of peasants living hand to mouth & easily controlled.....GLORIOUS, ISNT' IT? All our eggs in one teeny basket...
