My cousin's son killed himself over a girl; he was 16 years old. WHAT does a 16 year old know about love?!!!
This is where I have a problem with the word love... Even I do not know love. Sure, loving my kids was/is easy;
but being IN-LOVE is what I want before I die.

I think there are many who feel so lost (when it comes to love), death seems like the only permanant solution to what often is a temproary problem. The tragedy in this is, when a person is so angry, alone and depressed, death seems like the perfect escape from the confusing pain and suffering "not having" brings a person who is tired of fighting.
I have known those who chose suicide as a punishment -- "I'll hurt those who have hurt me"; I have known those who chose suicide as a final cry -- "no one cares or loves me, so I might as well be dead"; I have known those who simply could not take the stress of not knowing how to make things better -- "nothing I do can make this turn around, so I might as well put an end to it all, on my terms"; and I have known those who didn't know the careless choices they were making would actually be lethal.
When I was much younger, I never understood how/why so many consider suicide a very selfish act. In all honesty, I always saw it as murder without the second person... but then, even before the age of 16 I knew rage and resentment and how blame can turn a loving heart into something cold and bitter.
It wasn't until I became a mom myself that I learned just how cruel it is to take the life of one from another.
I think the very worst case of suicide I ever heard of was the one that happened to a dear sweet friend of mine. He was 15 when his adoptive mother decided she could no longer take the pain of living, so she took her life, leaving her adopted son thinking: another mother didn't want to be with me.
Bizzi I hope that I am one of those 31 because I definately consider you one of mine. If you didn't think of me then consider yourself to have 32 friends.

In the name of love
