Deserving forgiveness @ 6:27 AM
When an adult takes his own life, people may silently think of them as being selfish for leaving behind their children or other family members, but do people have the right to think a young teenager as selfish for committing the same act? Living as an adolescent these days is a difficult journey, kids are cruel to each other and bullying is at an all time high. Everyone wants to fit in, but when some can't, they feel as though their only option is to not exist. This does not necessarily mean it is the easy way out, it may be the hardest decision to ever have to come down to. Selfishness should in no way be considered during teenage suicide, especially when they have grown up experiencing the horrible remarks of their classmates most of their life, it can seem as though it will never be better. Forgiveness is what these children deserve the most, forgiveness and understanding for what or why their reason for ending their life was.
