Hope

Today I just read an article about these two girls in Pennsylvania who made a pact to suicide together....So they hugged each other and died together by getting hit by one of those top-speed trains.

There were 3 girls who made the suicide pact, but one chickened out at the end. And now her two best friends are dead, so....i feel really sorry for her.

I feel really sorry for EVERYONE, actually. All the people that knew these two dead girls are probably crying their hearts out because...well, 1. they're dead, and 2. these girls PLANNED IT. TOGETHER. And no one could stop them!

The article said that judging by their texts, they were planning what days to cut class and go to the railroad track...And they obviously had to plan it, since the track was 2 miles away and they walked there, and just as they got there the train was coming.

I think that's really sad..I mean, one was going to turn 16 like the next week, and they were both really popular and pretty..what on earth would make them want to kill themselves?

However, I also think it's really selfish of them to kill themselves when they have a lot of stuff other girls don't. People are jealous of them, but most of all, people love them. Like their parents. And friends. And siblings.

You know, their death doesn't affect only themselves. If they're seriously in depression, they should go get a counselor or something. Or at least talk to someone that could help. Because their dying really hurts everyone else, and even though they've escaped life and its pains and stuff, the other people haven't. In fact, those girls just gave everyone else that they knew MORE pain in life.

I'm sorry for sounding so blunt and feeling-less, but...I dunno if it's just me, but I think that...even if you see no more point in life anymore, you should still try to live and smile each day. Because other people are counting on you. And letting them down, on top of you dying, is like...getting stabbed and then killed, and then brought back alive to get stabbed and killed again.

So therefore, you should always have some sort of hope for the future. It's almost impossible for that to be extinguished..and even if you have no hope for yourself, you can always have hope for others.
