Somedays we all can't help but wonder why things happen. Some of us see it coming-like a car crash- but until that last second we never see the full extent of the damage.
The week after I saw the movie everything changed for me (see last Journal entry). Maybe it was because I took action to start a support group in school, or maybe it was because I could have saved a life, had I acted sooner and began working on the support group before I ever saw the movie. Either way, I'm left like that person in the car crash, watching as the tire rolls by me and wondering why this happened.
The most possible reason that week changed my life was because a student in my school commited suicide. The day everyone found out I never wish to repeat. The halls were silent, kids were having break downs, and I wanted to cry too. I never knew the kid but I found out he was a senior, popular, and a sports star in my school. He was the last one anyone would suspect of such an act, but the signs had been there just the same. Kids I knew who knew him all said that he would say things or things would happen to him that just didn't seem right. They now regreated having never asked if he was alright.
So how does this relate to anyone who is daring to read this? It's very simple: What if that had been you and someone you knew commited suicide? As I said in my earlier entry we all walk past people each day and never realise what a powerful impact we CAN make until it's over! So please, I ask for you to make sure it doesn't get to the point that it had in my school, and I will keep you posted about my support group.
