I remember that story too, and don't know the correct spelling either.
There was a time when I truly believed that the right and proper thing to do was to kill myself. I was a little younger than you are now and had spent a long time finding reasons to drag myself through every new day. What has always amazed me is that no-one else seemed to notice. So I'm glad you had at least one teacher who did.
Have I run outside and screamed at the sky? Oh, yeah on more than one occasion. Have I stood outside in thunderstorms and cried out "come on do your worst", absolutely. Has something happened each and every time I've wanted to admit defeat and given me a reason to go on? Yep. Does it annoy the h*ll out of me. You better believe it.
Are there still days when I want to race down stairs and play with the traffic - more than I care to admit. But for some reason I don't ( I do, I'm just really bad at it!) :-)
&*%^%&%^^& this probably really hasn't been any help what so ever has it? I've obviously just fallen in love with sound of my own typing.
Believe me kiddo, the fact that you come to this place and make so many people laugh and smile, and challenge and stimulate them intellectually, and support them emotionally is enough reason to go on. It might not seem like, but it is. Each of our worlds would be slightly the poorer without you in it. So you just keep on dodging that rock okay.
