This is really great! Thank you for posting.
It's the mormons
If it isn't a problem for Wall Street, it isn't a problem. It's a Beautiful World. For You. It's not for me.
I live in Farmington and ya never went on my mission or dated. Everyone around me looks down on me and nobody ever wanted to get to know me. Long story short I don't like my neighbors and can't afford my own place.
What should I live for?
I think we should address the problem differently and try to prevent people from wanting to commit suicide. Let's work on tolerance, communication, mental health care access and let's educate people on the consequences of hateful acts/words. I have attempted suicide and my experience is that when the thoughts arise, it is often too late for anyone to intervene. Clearly there is something wrong in our society when young people feel so hopeless that suicide becomes an option. Let's work on finding out why in order to replace despair by hope.
