Sometimes it involves trying several different drug cocktails, for months (and even years) on end. Sometimes it involves finding an underlying disease that is affecting your brain chemistry. Sometimes it involves measures such as ECT. Sometimes it takes time, which can seem infinite. Sometimes it means keeping a person safe from themselves until the other things work. <br /><br />Sometimes choosing to push through the pain is the hardest thing you can ask of yourself; harder than not pushing through could ever be.<br /><br />I'm not offering to be "sweet".<br /><br />I'm offering because I know the pain. I also know how it feels to be left behind. And I know that everyone has value. And I know, for sure, that it gets better.<br /><br />cdanlola@gmail.comOneGirlRevolutionhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14569938364902156037noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37309174.post-63517687672585374052012-10-26T19:55:34.411-07:002012-10-26T19:55:34.411-07:00As sweet as it is of some of you to offer to liste...As sweet as it is of some of you to offer to listen, talking to someone who cares doesn't always help. I hate that people assume it's that "easy" to choose not to kill yourself. When you're dealing with chronic, severe depression, your brain chemicals are fucked up, and there is nothing rational about the way you feel. And sometimes, things <i>don't</i> get better. Depression is like cancer - sometimes you get better, sometimes the disease is fatal, no matter what anyone tries to do to fix it. mooshkihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04756575398525781044noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37309174.post-90153792735593397572012-10-26T19:37:42.866-07:002012-10-26T19:37:42.866-07:00The girl had sex with 4 men in one night at a part...The girl had sex with 4 men in one night at a party. Generally that's a sign of molestation and or deep depression. Then she ran away from a foster home seven times. Either poor treatment in the home or problems from her past. Let's not blame her death on some bullying although it had a factor there were many other factors that aren't being mentioned.

As an adoptee myself, I love when families can come together through fostering and/or adoption.

I wanted kids and found this was the best option for me. (I'm in the process of adopting my sweet baby boy.) <br /><br />Thanks for the props. :) Though that wasn't why I commented. It scares me how often and easy it is for the foster parents to get accusations thrown at them. My parents have taken in many teenage girls and despite their best efforts and close monitoring they have had to deal with runaways, promiscuity, drugs and the like. Two out of ten will accept the help and love and make the changes to have a productive life. (And a loving family. I've got a lot of siblings to buy birthday cards for now!) It is a sad fact but as a foster parent, you do the best you can and pray for a miracle.<br /><br />I only hope some others read this and give foster parents a chance to be innocent until proven guilty.Jessihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13997287772217937741noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37309174.post-5923338953156366442012-10-26T17:52:28.820-07:002012-10-26T17:52:28.820-07:00even if she was a willing participant, doesn't...even if she was a willing participant, doesn't mean she should have been taunted about it. <br /><br />Why aren't boys ever taunted about having group sex?zeldafitzgeraldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18342245148818775521noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37309174.post-88350510432272457442012-10-26T17:33:10.113-07:002012-10-26T17:33:10.113-07:00I'm in the same town blossom :)

They make her out to be a hero and the face of bullying-she has been on the front page of the newspaper about five times. (Province-wide paper, not the local paper.) I worry about what this is doing to other depressed teenagers and I can absolutely see them deciding "If I can't be anyone important while I'm alive, fine, I'll kill myself and be famous like Amanda, people will notice me then" etc. Obviously these stories need to be shared, but I don't think it's a good idea to make these girls (or boys, as the case may be) into celebrities. <br /><br />As for this girl, I feel really badly for her but I think her problems went beyond bullying and the title of this story is a bit misleading. "I can't, I'm done, I give up" is not a specific reference to bullying. Sounds like her entire life was just too much.

If I were you, I'd start looking around for another job. I'm 100% on your side, though, and despise what's happening to you. <br /><br />What usually happens is you become the villain, because you're standing up for yourself. The boss doesn't want to deal with the hassle, the co-workers get annoyed because you took away their fun. It doesn't matter it's because their fun was cruel and wrong.<br /><br />I've had a few jobs like this as well. One, I was put into a department where they hated new people. They screamed at me for everything. The supervisor even screamed at me for bringing in a bucket of candy to share with them at Christmas! (The other departments had Christmas parties, we had nothing, I just wanted to do something nice. Cunts.) I stood up for myself, complained to HR, but I was complaining about supervisors -- supervisors that the management had chosen. Saying they were bad was taken as saying the managers were bad. So they turned me into the bad guy, got rid of me for bullshit reasons.Zeeky_Boogy_Dooghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16521674081439752590noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37309174.post-9427010555877477202012-10-26T14:50:24.998-07:002012-10-26T14:50:24.998-07:00How is it acceptable to think that sexual relation...How is it acceptable to think that sexual relationships between 1 teenage girl and 4 boys with alcohol and video involved is just WILD BUT OK is beyond me.

Bullying is real. Cyberbullying is real and makes bullying more pervasive and severe; that video constitutes cyberbullying. What I got out of Katsom's response is why don't more kids have the resources (whether through a sense of self worth, an ability to see the situation as temporary or not as catastrophic as it seems, or have caregivers to help them through these dark times, etc). And when I say not catastrophic, I don't mean their situation isn't demoralizing or painful but it is not worth dying over. I look at it as how do we turn the bullying conversation to also include helping kids to learn to fight back. For this girl, she didn't have options as she was an orphan and the school didn't seem to respond early.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
