Response to Alec

Dear Alec,

          Hello, Alec. First, I want to thank you for giving life a second shot. It's feels amazing that you gave me a chance to help you, and a bit stressful. But I want to make the most of the time that I have with you. 

          I wish I could say that I understand where you are coming from, but I don't sadly. I have never had depression or suicidal thoughts nor do I plan on pretending that I do. I am going to be very real with you, honest above all else. 

          Dying isn't something people should take from granted. People should only die if there is a reason behind it, a purpose. Justice should only be the reason of dying. Of course, nature as we see it cannot allow that to happen. Nature takes it's course and lets us live a long life to be happy. We should never interfere with what nature has given us. Let nature do it's job.

          So, I heard you mention hating school, but more specifically the people that go to school. Can you go more in depth about the people? Have you ever thought of standing up against them? What is driving you to kill yourself? Depression already makes you feel dead inside, but what is making you want to die on the outside?

         Can you go into more detail about growing old? Why do you fear growing old? It's the only cost of living long. It's nature. Growing old isn't so bad after all. Don't you want to have children and watch them grow up as you had? Don't you want to reach all the milestones of living? Isn't that enough? 

         I hope I have helped a tiny bit. Please don't buy the pills. It's never worth it. It takes years and years of surviving, but only one second to throw all that away. And please, call me Megan.

                                                                                                                                    -Megan M.
