These are not made up people,
they were once my closest friends.

At first, I didn't really know how to handle their deaths,
so I started drinking (way under age).
I would drink my sorrows away night after night,
even ended up in the hospital a few times.
I contemplated suicide many times.
I'd make a noose  and sit and stare at it.
A few times I even put a knife to my throat.
I eventually started going to therapy,
and it was that that turned my life around.
With someone to talk to, I felt better about everything.
I became sober and have been ever since.

Suicide is never the answer, good friends are.
Depression is not abnormal, we all get depressed at times,
but you cant let it get the better of you.
If you feel depressed, talk to someone about it.
Talk to a parent, a sibling, a friend, a teacher even.
and even me if you want to, my ear is always open.
But never take your life.
You may think no one cares, but someone dose.

And bullying is wrong!
You see the ads on tv and dont think much of them,
but these are the true effects of bullying,
people die.
If your being bullied, or see someone being bullied,
speek up! Let someone know!

Join me in my movement to spread awareness.
Together, we can make a difference.

::NO MORE BULLYING::
:: NO MORE SUICIDE  ::

This piece would be perfect for a project we are developing -- an online gallery for artists who have been bullied or who explore the theme of bullying in their work. It's called the You Will Rise Project. Check it out here: [link] and read the "Submit Work" section for details about sharing your work on our site. Thanks!

I appreciate the message of this journal and I am sorry about your friends. :iconsadhugplz:
Judging by the ages of your friends I guess you are quite young also. Suicide is never an easy thing, age regardless, but you are being very mature about this.
Be strong, and thank you for making more people aware of this problem. I hate how ignored and/or made fun of this topic is.

(Just a heads up, your links are broken.)

Yes, I was actually 13 at the time, so it was 3 years ago in february. At the time, I didn't really know how to handle it, so I started drinking (yes, way under age). Time went by and I had been to the hospital many times, and so I went to therapy and it turned my life around, to have someone to tell about it all. I have now been sober for a long time and I honor my friends memory by telling their story and helping others to overcome their darkness.
As far as the links, I'll get right on that.
Thank you^^

Wow, I feel really bad for you. I am glad you have found away to cope though.
I don't know what I would have done in your situation, thus I am most glad you are spreading awareness of this. Again, thank you.

You're welcome, I really want to see the videos you are on about. ^^

The first and last are music videos, the second about the first.
The first is a song about suicide and one that helped and still helps me a lot.
The last being a music video about the deadly effects of bullying.
Both songs helped me a lot and I really hope it helps others.
