Epic Accomplishment Of Contemplating Suicide
Hey, roomie!
I'm sure most people would tell you of an epic accomplishment of theirs, but what a waste! Even though that "fun fact" might be awesome, all you would learn is something they did, not who they are. I'm here to tell you that I'm a passionate writer who, if sometimes thought of as annoying, loves helping others. I'm a registered active listener on a site called 7cupsoftea and am my friend group's personal therapist. It scares me how many teens in our world are depressed and even contemplating suicide. I have talked many people out of this heartbreaking deed, and I want you to know you can come to me with anything. Spilling secrets has never been my cup of tea and to me, promises are sacred. I hope to pursue a double major, one of

    While reading the article Suicide on Campus and the Pressure of Perfection many parts seemed relatable to things that my fellow classmates and I have talked about before with some of our classes. One bad grade can make it feel like you are going to fail the class and need to drop it. One part of the reading that really jumped out to me was “create adolescents who are ultra-focused on success but don’t know how to fail” (Scelfo, J., Suicide on Campus and the Pressure of Perfection). That statement is very true, not only for adolescents but all ages. I see many people who hate to fail and will suffer greatly to not do so, one of my classmates last semester dropped a class and has to take it over the summer because she thought that she would fail…

    Learning to show compassion for others and to experience the sorrow of losing someone changed me from that point on. Realizing that sometimes people don't lie to make themselves appear more desirable or appealing in front of others, but lie in order to mend their own heart. Growing up now, I realized that my father didn’t tell me about my grandpa’s death upfront for two reasons. He didn’t want to believe it himself and he didn’t want to make me sad either. His denial was to protect his own feeling and mine, but I thought it was still better to tell the truth, even if the truth is too hard to…

    I learned that my audience didn’t really know anything about my past. They had no idea what it was like for me to be on bed rest for a few weeks with only books and note pads. I feel like I was really successful in fulfilling my purpose of telling my audience about why I started writing. I told my audience the reason I started writing. I helped them feel exactly what I did once I started writing.…

    My event is actually about my sister, but it had such a huge affect on me that I just couldn’t leave it out. Throughout much of her time at my old school, my sister, Erin was sick. Every time she ate something with high or even normal sugar contents she would get deadly sick. The details are a little private but let’s just say, it wasn’t pleasant. Erin already had trouble making friends because of this, so when she became “friends” with one, she didn’t leave them no matter what they did to her. One of her “friends” started bullying her, and she still stuck with them. One day this girl told my sister to kill herself. So she did, or at least she would have had my mom not found and stopped her. The worst thing was that I didn’t even know she was being bullied. That’s why my favorite lyric is “If you’re going through hell, keep on going, don’t look back, if you’re scared don’t show it, you might get out before the devil even knows you’re there.” because had she not kept going I would have lost one of my best friends in the…

    For years our country has been going through life dealing with issues and problems. Some things just disappeared and no longer were issues, others had to be dealt with, and some are still a problem. War is one thing for centuries we have had to deal with and resolve, many of us worry about the people in the military and how their lives are in jeopardy. We always think that getting shot or blown-up is the worse way to die and basically the only way to die. We lack the knowledge and realization that many in the military suffer from Post Traumatic Stress Syndrome (PTSD). This has cost many soldiers there life during active duty and even long after the war. Our military has been denying and is un-willing to look at the fact that suicide in the military is sky rocketing, it is a climbing statistic. Why do they deny this? Is it because our government and military are worried that young recruits will refuse to join due to the training they receive will never prepare them for what they see in war? There could be many reasons, but it’s becoming clearer and clearer that the rate of suicide just keeps getting higher and higher in the military. The average civilian suicide rate compared to the average military suicide rate isn’t even close anymore and will…

    Suicide is a growing and fearsome problem that affects nearly everybody today. There is evidence that shows that since 2000, suicide rates have been slowly increasing. In fact, according to the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), suicide was ranked tenth in cause of death in the United States in 2013. So why is it that people choose to end their lives? What causes them to feel as if suicide is the only option? In Frank J. Zulke and Jacqueline P. Kirley’s book, Through the Eyes of Social Science, it explains how in the past, it was believed that a person committed suicide because of one’s mental insanity or genetic makeup. However, researcher Emile Durkheim claimed that suicide was due to one’s social groups and relationships. Thanks to Durkheim’s research, we can now classify…

    My participation in Student Government has taught me important leadership skills I will be able to carry with me throughout, not only my college career, but my nursing career. Sports has taught me that hard work, discipline, and teamwork will not only defeat any obstacle that comes my way, but with the help and encouragement of others, we can come together as one and get the job done. My extracurricular activities have taught me that with the aid of others anything is possible. Through my community service volunteering at a local housing company for the mentally disabled, I have seen first-hand what the impact one person can make on another’s life. Helping and mentoring the mentally disabled who can’t do some tasks on their own has touched my heart and changed the way I appreciate life in many different aspects. It just reminds me of how fortunate I am to be able to help other, despite the time it takes to do so. The overall time I have sacrificed to do these extracurricular activities inside and outside of school has all been well worth it. Overall, the life lessons I have learned and the change in character I have gained from these activities are gifts I will be able to carry with me in able to achieve my goal.…
