Last week...with events involving a certain great , caring, and kind person who wrote a threatening letter and eventually needed help...I tend to wonder, what can we do? What can we do to stop the pain that people feel everyday? That...certain person..needs the help he's getting, and he isn't a bad guy at all. But there are more kids in just as much pain...kids that are thinking about doing the same thing. Why? Why can't we all just lend a kind hand to some one, smile at them, remind them how amazing they are? I won't name names, but I'm sure we all know who I'm referring to...So what can we do? What can we do to help these people? How can we make life better for them?Opinions?

While this is a good idea for a topic, I feel as though it is a very personal issue that I would prefer not to discuss on my website at this time. I do realize that talking about these issues can be good but I don't want to be liable for anyone that is offended by anything that is potentially said.
It's not just the people that don't have friends or people who are bullied or whatever that go through alot of this stuff and feel this way. I have friends who seam like they live a great life and they obviously don't because they have felt the same way as this "person". But, I really think it's how the person handles it, people reaching out doesn't just fix it. It can help them by letting them know that there are people who do care but at the end of the day, it's how they want to handle it and we can't just change what goes down in their life. But there are obvioulsy people who say things that they either don't realize or they don't care that it hurts someone. I've never felt like this "person" so I really don't even know what to say.
People just need to realize that what they say and or do to a person can affect them beyond their thoughts. It's as simple as thinking before you act or say something. Being nice isn't that hard, and if people tried a little harder at it then I think we'd see improvments in the school.
He had a horrible, difficult life at home that most of you could possibly understand. I understand why he did it. I t IS horrible that he decided to right the letter, but what could we do to help him? some of his friends actually reached out to him just a day before the letter was discovered. Obviously, his mind was made up. Lets just hope and pray that he is gettign the proper help he needs and hopefully will return next semester
