Several times as I was growing up I wished I was dead, several times I thought about taking my life and ending my pain but the thought of leaving my mother behind alone kept me from following through with my thoughts. I know me dying would have brought a great amount of pain to my mother so I didnt go through it but at the same time I did feel some sort of resentment against her as she was the only reason why I didnt go through it. Anyway, the article is right about suicide affecting other people. I think that everyone thinking about taking their own life should really think about the people around them and those that will be affected.
