I can't believe you left us. We all thought you were doing better. No one noticed the warning signs. I mean, now that I think about it, you didn't want to go out too much, but you said you had a lot of homework to catch up on. There were days you talked about wanting to die but I thought you said you were fine;just were stressed out by school. You didn't mean anything by it. You were always sleeping but I didn’t think anything of it because we are teenagers we are always tired. You gave me one of your favorite movies and books, I thought you were just being the nice and amazing person you were. Little did I know you were giving away your things to the people you loved.

Mom: I can't sleep. I can't eat. My child, my baby is gone. If you would have just came to me. Or your father, we would have been there for you. I'm sorry I wouldn't let you stay out too late sometimes but it's because I care. I quit my job. I can't continue working there, I can't focus and your sister isn't going to school anymore. So someone needs to stay home with her. You were going to college, you were going to be something great. You were going to help so many people. Just why? I'm supposed to protect you always, and now I have failed you as a mother and I will never forgive myself.

Dad: My sweet, sweet baby girl. I didn't know you were hurting so bad. Which makes me feel like an awful parent. Your mother is a mess. She has quit her job so I have to start working overtime to help make money. Sweetie, we were going to surprise you next week. Your mom is pregnant with your little brother. Don't worry though he will grow up knowing he had two sisters and not just one. I'm trying to stay strong for your mother because at least one of us needs to be strong but it's just so hard. You always hated when I drank, but I started again and can't stop. It’s the only thing to get me through the day. Why did you have to leave?

Sister: Mom and dad say you're in a better place? What was wrong with being here with us? You always said you loved us. So why did you want to leave the ones you love? I don’t want to go to school anymore. The people there are making fun of me. Telling me how I'm sisterless now. And how I'm weird because I had a sister who wanted to die. You were my big sister. I do what you do. And now I'm sad like you were. Maybe I should come be with you?

Best Friend: WHY? WHY DIDN'T YOU TELL ME? I AM HERE FOR YOU. YOU KNOW THAT. I don't know this life without you and I'm going crazy. Your seat is empty in class. Who am I going to look back at laugh at the teacher looking for the papers she lost? Or running around the hallways goofing off. Or like the day you walked past my classroom and started dancing and I got yelled at because I was laughing in the middle of class. I can't eat. Nothing is normal anymore. I've already lost like 20 pounds out of nowhere. My mom thinks it's a eating disorder. Who do I have to talk to about it though? No one. You were my best friend for life. We were supposed to take on college together. We only have month left of school. We were so close. So close. Why did you leave me? Was it my fault?

Boyfriend: I.. I just can't leave my bed. I'm going through all the videos and pictures I have of you. I keep listening to your laugh over and over again. I'll never be able to make you laugh like that again. Who is going to keep pushing me towards my goal? I don't think I will ever make it there without you. I don't want to. I feel like I have nothing left. I told you when we got older we would be together. Married. We would have a family. I have cried every night since I found out. The fact that we were texting and you told me you were fine the night of hurts me. You should of told me. You know I am always here for you. I would have dropped what I was doing to be with you. I started doing the thing I always told you not to do. Yeah, I started cutting. I can't help but blame myself for this. I could have done something. I knew you were having troubles but I didn't do anything. I knew but I didn’t know at the same time. I loved you with all my heart, I do love you with all my heart. I am going to see a therapist this week. I'm not good with coping with things like this. Your parents are a mess. I visited them and went into your room and broke down. The smell of you. Everything of yours placed where you last put them. I didn't want to touch anything, like I was in a museum. Damn I miss you. And I will love you forever. I wish you didn't leave me. I am not going to be okay for a very long time.

September is National Suicide Prevention month. If you are feeling suicidal YOU ARE NOT ALONE AND NEVER THINK YOU ARE. There are tons of people around you who care. We all care. And all would be crushed if you left. TELL someone if you are feeling this way. If you know someone feeling this way.. Reach out to them. Be there for them. Let them know they are not alone. The National Suicide Hotline number is 1-800-273-8255. Too many people overlook suicide as a whole. No one cares until it happens. That needs to change.
