Ask yourself how much she looks up to them, the more she does the more dangerous the situation is.

Have You Ever Considered Suicide? Have You Ever Thought Of Just Not Living
by minimus ini know of a few people that have expressed themselves over the years regarding suicide and their loss of joy in living.
after reading some of the horrendous things some have gone through on this board, it is more than concievable to believe that you might have considered such options.
i, personally have never had these thoughts, but some close to me have expressed that if they "could just sleep" in death, they would feel better.

I did and sometimes still do, it mostly comes from the agony of losing friends and family and knowing that I'm pretty much alone. I know I won't be there when my father dies, I lost the only true love I feel I'll ever have because of the dub's and my conscience to "do the right thing" instead of following my heart. I could go on about the reasons to do it but there are two reasons why I don't one being that onlt quitters take the easy way out and I'm not a quitter and two the thought of my mother,she has been dead for a while but I know the sorrow it would bring her if she were here and that feeling stops me.
