I can understand suicide when it comes to the mentally ill.
Being close to a few people in my age group, some who have taken their own life i had a glimpse of what they go through.
When meds don't work, therapy, special attention or anything else does not help...they lose hope, and in many cases can't control their own thoughts...imagine that, a prisoner inside your own mind that you have no say of what to think or feel or when or when not to.
Who would want to live through that.
The catholic church has even changed it's views on suicide and has become sympathetic. I attended a funeral few years back of someone who was a little younger than me and had taken his life, it was bizarre to me as it was a catholic service, most churches 10-15 yrs prior would not conduct a service for people who had committed suicide as its seen as one of the worst sins.
anyhow, i sympathize for this girl and who knows if its fair, to assume all these what ifs, when maybe not living this life was the best thing for her.
