That is so sad.  Kids these days have so much pressure put on them.  It is really bad that they cannot think of another alternative than to take their own life.  I hope that your daughter is ok. 

Through our kiddies we know of many who have choosen that route...unbareablly sad to know who they might have became is not going to happen. Actually I took it really hard as they had been guests in our house and I did not know.  After the deaths..as there were several, it was found that diaries or even the childs web page spoke of ending their lives and those that knew took no steps to aid.  So...if you come across this in any ones writing I would try to report to someone. Children and specially teens are very intense beings and need help the odd time as we all do.  I hope your child can deal with this,just you being there if they want to talk is important. Best of luck.

Heya hunni I can really feel for your family right now....Just recently a friend of our kids actually shot himself and this really affected the kids he was 15...Michaela used to date him and aidan and all his mates were friends with the boy...Michaela struggled with it the most I think and Aidan never talked about it John talked to counsellors and a psychologist...I didn't know what to say to them most of the time cause at 15 I can not remember one thing that made me upset enough to even contemplate doing anything like that even though I know there were teenagers who did and we even lost a friend to grade 12 to suicide.......Michaela went into a blame mode if only she had not broken up with him etc..... But now two to three months down the track things are looking up for her....The funeral was very hard and and I was dubious of letting Michaela and John attend as they were 14 and 15 but in the end let them go with me in tow...It was a lovely funeral if that makes sense and it was packed...Standing room only This young man who had thought he had not many friends had touched so many lives and made an impact on things even teachers were crying....I think as we grow up these kids just don't think about what they do have and all the support they have around them....I think we need to let our kids know that nothing is too big or too bad to talk about to anyone...No matter what they tell us we love them and always will....And you know the best thing I tell my kids is??? I wasn't born this size ya know!!!!....i too was a teenager and know all the pain and all the things I did and said and I am here for you no matter what!!!! We can work through it....Good luck to you and your daughter....And Rip the young girl who thought there was no other choice.....

One thing I never realized as a kid, is when Parents actually say "I understand" they usually really do.. I guess as kids we tend not to realize that our parents were there before us...

I must say it scares the hell out of me to think of what my kids might have to go through.. I hope they miss what I did not... But I also hope they understand that no matter what the issue, I will be there for them, no matter how hard it is...

My step daughter starts her first day of High School tomorrow.. I am soooo worried.. It might just be me, and nothing will happen, but you just don't know unless they tell you.. And being that I am the step mum, it's not as if she will come running to me first.... It is hard being the step mum sometimes when I have my own worries for her, and yet she still has a mum to run to... But I keep it in check.. Still can't help myself but worry though...

I hope your daughter is handling the situation ok...  And hope she understands that we all go through one thing or another and there is no matter what always someone to talk too...

Gosh....l hope your daughter is ok....will the school be having a talk to the teenagers about this and hearing how all the teens feel....l hope so.

l lost a close friend of mine at school (the last school l attended  before leaving) , we where very close we lived together for awhile with her mum, brother and my bf (now hubby)...she passed away by gasing herself and taking a alot of tablets before she did it...the last thing she said to me that she wanted to be with her father....sometimes l think and wonder. l had to see a youth worker after that as l needed to talk about it , l dnt want to put stress on my unborn baby.

Hugs xxoo
 

Oh my.. I hope your daughter is ok..
That's great that you guys had a big talk, that's always good for teenagers, especially going through a time like this.

That actually reminds me of a girl I went to school with. A month back she hung herself because her ex-boyfriend a couple weeks before that killed himself.. It was a huge mess :(

Hugs to you..

I hope your daughter is ok thats reall sad :( xxx
