Trying To Be A Survivor Of Suicide

“My ex-girlfriend was taken away by the cop and taken to the local jail. My ex-girlfriend’s Dad showed up and I rode back with him to their house. Finally my parents came and picked me up. I went home and maybe got two hours of sleep, if you even call that sleep. The next morning, I went back to my ex-girlfriend’s house and she was later released from jail that day. For the longest time, we would just sit there in silence, because, what do you say? It was time to comfort one another. I not only felt bad about the whole situation, but I knew no one was going to believe me, us. Believe that a girl purposively jumped into the moving vehicle. I later learned that the girl who died had been suicidal. Earlier that day, before the accident,

Researchers conduct hypotheses that suicide could be contagious. Researchers had a total of 22,064 individuals ages 12 to 17. When conducting the study they met on cycles to monitor the exposure to suicide. All groups which were separated into age had an outcome of 95% of exposure to suicide. Researchers also questioned how often certain groups were or had feelings of depression or suicidal thoughts from stressful events during the cycles. In further research, 24.1% from the ages 16 and 17 responded that someone from school has committed suicide and which 20.1%

Have you ever been through a tough situation and felt like there was no solution? Many people do and unfortunately many people also solve their solution by ending their life. In fact, every 13 minutes, someone commits suicide in the U.S (http://www.save.org/). Whether your friends or acquaintances, chances are you will know someone who has committed suicide. However, this doesn’t have to be the case. Urban Meyer, current coach of the Ohio State football team, once stated, “Are you going to be the problem or the solution?” An organization known as the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention (AFSP) has decided they will be the solution to suicide.

Death… yeah, I can't recommend it. I know it may be hard to believe, but it sucks. Though, when you die, and I mean you will, I'd stay clear from reanimation. It's not such a lovely jaunt in the park. Oh, no it's quite frankly hell on earth. Stuck in a plain of existence between the mortal world and whatever afterlife you are chosen for. You are left to wander this world unnoticed by the living, at least until they die, where they come to this realm awaiting to pass from this world to the next.

I don’t think there’s been a day when I haven’t checked my Instagram direct messages or my iMessages around 1 a.m. to see if my friend from the UK was up. I love talking to her and one main reason is because at this time nobody I know in real life is awake. I love that no matter what time of day it is somebody is up and willing to talk to me about anything from what Kylie Jenner said on Snapchat last night, to the meaning of life, or even our true purpose in the world. Communication with social media was such a signifcant convenience for me because to be honest, I didn’t even know how to communicate in real life. Discovering this format where I could talk to somebody helped me eventually to get the courage to get actual mental help. I believe

My good friend, Bob, sent me a text yesterday. Bob and I have always been really close and he is one of my best friends. I could tell that Bob has been acting differently for the past week and I was very confused about it. After I read the text he sent me, everything became so much more clear. Bob specified that he feels his life is falling apart and that he does not see how his life will get any better. I could immediately tell that Bob was desperately looking for help and thinking about suicide. I asked Bob, “Hey dude do you want to talk about this is person? I can walk to your house right now”.

Kevin Briggs is a retired California Highway patrol officer, who spent much of his years “patrolling the southern end of Marin, county which includes the Golden Gate Bridge” (Briggs).As many may connote this bridge with much positivity such as, to have a great view of San Francisco, others may connote it as the bridge that took their loved one . This bridge has been used numerous times for a suicide attempt. Suicide according to Vernon J. Geberth, M.S., M.P.S., is defined as the intentional taking of one’s own life (Geberth.). At a recent Ted Convention, Kevin delivered his inspiring and courageous speech titled “The Bridge Between Suicide and Life”, which argues the many consequences of suicide and the lasting effects it has on their loved ones. One of the main topics Kevin mentions in his speech is the fact that suicide is preventable and it doesn’t necessarily need to happen. In the audience of Kevin’s TED Talk were women and men who may have faced suicidal thoughts and or currently suffering from the loss of a loved one due to suicide and even the general population that may not be experiencing none of the following but are simply just listening for future references.Rhetorically, Kevin conveys this argument through rhetorical approaches such as rhetorical questions, logical evidence and even personal experience.
