It's Anti-Bullying Month and I am tired of hearing the word suicide!!!!



I have to admit it, I am not "worldly". I should know a heck of a lot more about what is going on in the world but to tell you the truth - the news depresses me. It really does. I will often scan the headlines and then I wonder why I do.

On the weekend I read about yet another suicide by a young woman. I watched her story on youtube and it just broke my heart. I watched a program on W-5 about sexting and how that has turned into some pretty awful cyber bullying. I am just sick of it. What are we to do about it? Technology is a wonderful thing but if used for the wrong things, it is just catastrophic. My heart aches for all involved.

I guess I am just one of those crazy people that believe we were put here on this earth to love and to be loved. I still believe in that.

I have seen the after effects of what suicide does to a family. Please stop and think before you bully someone. We all need love, we all want love.

I am tired of reading about the bad things. If listening to this song over and over helps one person, that would be the most amazing news ever. I have personally gone through some challenges in my younger life and my sister gave me a poem titled "Don't Quit". I posted it on the fridge and I read it every day. It may sound crazy, but it did help me. Especially the "rest if you must, but don't you quit!!!" Life can be wonderful and you have to keep the faith that it will. Amazing people come into your life when you are open to it. Tell someone if you are in pain. People really do want to help. Hang on!!!
