one less

do you remember those "Gardisl" commercials? "O-N-E-L-E-S-S ! i wanna be one less! one less!"

well i want to be one less too.

one less teenager that has to deal with depression.

one less person that is bullied and feels useless, alone, and like they have no where else to turn.

its hard to go through so situations and not feel like you can talk to anyone because they will either: look down on you, be mad, or tell you to just get over it. its not that easy. its never that easy.

"you wouldn't tell someone 'its just cancer, get over it'" (i read that somewhere. its talking about those people who say 'its just depression. you'll get over it.') we need to remember that this is a real problem. depression hurts.

Untreated depression is the number one cause of suicide, and suicide is the third leading cause of death among teenagers.~ (NIMH) from TWLOHA's homepage

its never 'just' depression

it only takes one...

one person to listen.

one person to hear you out.

one person to talk you out of it.

one person...to change your life.

be that person.

be the ear that hear her pain.

be the ear that listens to his story.

be the voice that tells them its okay.

be the statement that changes their lives....forever.

be that person....

dead end

i believe you don't actually lose unless you give up. but right now i'm giving up, i've lost. there's nothing else i can do. i have screwed up so big that i can't see my way out of it. one of my really good friends hates me. and its totally and completely my fault. i can't keep acting like there is something i can do to fix this situation i have brought myself into. because there is nothing left. no way out. i've hit a dead end and i can't even turn around to walk back out. so i'm giving up. i've lost the fight. its over.
