What is going on in the world? There are constantly people taking their own lives and this is not just men and women, but also kids. I know we all see it and some of you tend to turn a blind eye to the goings-on. Sometimes, you must speak up and say what you have to say. Sometimes you have to check in on your people and let them know it’s okay to reach out and talk to you if they need to.
I can honestly say I am one of the ones who more than likely won’t talk when things are troubling me but hey some people out here take advantage and it’s hard to know who you can and can not trust. However, if I need to talk, I have a couple of people I can talk to who I know won’t use it against me. Not everyone has people like that, so it’s safe to say I got lucky with the ones I have. I also have a few people that I have told (You mofos know who you are) no matter what they can call, text, FaceTime whatever, and whenever they need me. And everyone should have people like that. Now as far as the bullies everywhere, it needs to stop.
At what point do they get to thinking that enough is enough? At what point do they go from being a bully and turn into a monster with no humanity? How is it ok to bully someone to the point that they have to take their own life because they just can’t handle it and do not know what else to do? I saw someone post on Twitter asking “Do you think Su*cide is selfish?” My response? Yes and no. Why?
Because we have no clue what demons that person is fighting and a lot of times we have no clue what is pushing them over the edge. IF it got to that point then maybe just maybe they felt like it was the only way out of the situation. Oh, but Harley why would you say no? Simple. That person was someone’s son or daughter. could have been someone’s husband or wife. mom or dad. brother or sister. The only light and reason someone else kept pushing. That person meant something to sooooo many others but because of this negative demon in the back of their mind, they thought it would be easier to end everything.
Yeah, they solved the problem for them BUT look at everyone who cared for them that they left behind. So, yes in a sense it’s slightly selfish. It costs NOTHING to be a decent human being. Now I am going to link two stories in this. Y’all can go and look and watch and of course, make your own assumptions. TheJoker…. That got to me.
As you all know he is a friend. Possibly one of my closest friends in this space. So when I saw this video it hurt. But you know what hurt more? Seeing my friend and feeling the pain. And yes we talked and he told me who he was speaking of., and after our talk, I have no positive words. NO, I AM NOT RELEASING ANY INFORMATION HE GAVE ME. But I will say this. When I say I have no positive words that’s because this is sick. The fact that someone and their community pushed someone over the edge with this suicide being the only answer that person felt they had hurt.
And the fact that the family is basically being threatened is lower than low. Again at what point do we do something and say enough is enough? The second link I found on Snapchat a couple of hours before Joker’s post. Guess I was meant to see both. Now I went and did the work and found the mom’s page and even a post of the story with her daughter. She basically found her daughter dead. Now as a parent of three girls, I feel her pain. I can not imagine losing any of my daughters. And let me tell you I am that mom that would flat out be at my kids’ school telling these kids not to fuck with mine. I advocate for my kids and others.
I don’t play that. But this child Aubreigh Wyatt killed herself because of 4 kids at her school (Ocean Springs Middle School) kept bullying her. (This particular story is literally on TikTok with everything mentioned besides the bullies) They even said another student got in trouble for trying to defend Aubreigh from the students who were bullying her. So at what point does a school, a place where we send our kids to learn and be safe decide to not punish the ones who bully?
This girl had siblings who no longer have her. She had parents that lost their child. And our kids are not supposed to go before us. This girl had her entire life ahead of her and all that is gone because some kids thought it was funny to do this to her. Again I am linking the links to the videos and you can go look yourself. As a parent, these both hurt. As a Human, I am disgusted that it happened and the ones responsible feel no remorse at all.
