    Um i think someone said somewhere that it is just a part of growing up, feeling suicidal, so i wonder if everyone feels these things? Does that make me normal then? Ooh what a scary thought, i was just beginning to accept abnormality. Thoughts/Views anyone?

    Even though my opinion on here is rarely seen as I intend them to be saw; I feel that it is only a phase. Only because most young teenagers 12-17 feel suicidal at one point or another. Some acting out in different ways. "Cutting" for example it seems to be the new phase. I did it when I was younger and it seems to be growing in popularity. I know my mother couldn’t' understand it, why I was doing it. Then again I felt she didn't understand my problems. Looking back she had those same feelings.

    So I do believe that is, some more vocal than others about it. You can see a kid in school who seems so happy and has everything, then theirs you. You feel down like nobody understands or cares. You go home and wallow in self pity. That same guy who pretends to have everything is probably doing the same thing. Only taking a different approach by it.

    Suicide is something that is very serious when the problem is serious. Adults tend to act differently when depressed. You may show signs of being depressed and even be clinically diagnosed is being depressed. But just because you are depressed don't make you suicidal. Their are those people though who do commit suicide. They want to escape because they feel nobody can help them. This is their only way out. Or they wrong for doing this? Maybe, I think so. Then again maybe not.

    But a phase yes, I do believe every body at point or another has thought about running a razor over their wrist.
