foxinsnow's Diaryland Diary ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- teenage suicide strikes again on the north shore Those of you who know what I'm talking about know, and those who don't, don't. What would drive a sophomore girl in high school to do this? um, self-hatred. I bet. And it runs rampant at a high school where everyone is taught they must, must, must be the best of the best. I was lucky: at least I was there before columbine. Now I bet you can't even wear a Marilyn Manson t-shirt or some BS. Now imagine being there as a young girl who writes poetry about having secret abortions and the like. I would've been shipped off to NT west quicker than you could say Insane Clown Posse (hope I got the name of that band right). yeah, i wrote about everything from stabbing out people's eyes to sexual abuse... took pics of my little bro pretending to be crucified... and no one even sent me to the high school counselor. Those were the good old days. I didn't know this young girl, or how she did it, but I know suicide is an ultimately very private decision, based on distorting messages from the outside world (well, isn't distorting messages from the outside world what high school kids DO?) All I know is, I'm fucking pissed, it fucking sucks, I feel horrible for her, and I hope... that... ...hmm, I 'll have to get back to you on that one.
