Needed to cool down a lil...

A girl who went to my school and was in two of my classes comitted suicide on Monday night. I wanted to post about it, but I couldn't think about it without getting teary eyed until now. We were getting closer in our friendship, but in no means was I her best friend...but we weren't enemies. Her name was Suzie Tasa. They're having a service tonight where you can go see her dead body, and I would go, but I would feel awkward around all of her closest friends.

Tuesday was terrible at school. I had my first hour class with her, and so everyone in there was horribly in tears...It's agricultural science, my first hour, and the teachers all loved her so much too because she was so in to ag. They made the ag room a sort of sanctuary in case you needed to cry about her, so EVERYONE was in there....bawling...sobbing...Oh it was horrible.
Her step brother, the one who found her after she shot herself in the head is in my second hour. Needless to say, he wasn't there at all this week....
My third hour was pretty calm, mostly because the teacher told us not to talk about it but said if we needed a counselor that we could go see one.
My fourth hour was also terrible. The other class we shared together. The teacher was another one who was really close to her, and she was distraught as well. Basically that period was like my first hour...we just sat there and cried to eachother...

Too many tears shed this week...

So, if you pray, say a prayer for her family. Her father still doesn't believe the fact that she is actually dead, he has gone into some sort of mental shock....and the rest of her family is still in tears...
If you don't pray...then don't pray...I don't pray...but I'm still sad....
 
In my job I'm around death a lot, expected or sudden. I don't pray either, but for some it is a great comfort. My thoughts are with you, be strong enough to cry when you need, laugh without feeling guilty, life goes on and as simple as it sounds, time will heal the hurt, or at least make it easier to bear. x
 
My best friends dad did the same thing monday... so sad.... He had 3 kids 13year old boy and they spent every moment together. A 7 year old boy who learend every thing he knew from him.And his 11 year old daughter whos dream was to have him take her down the isle on her wedding day. I will pray for her.Plez pray for my friends dad to.
 
Its really sad how close they were exspecialy the 13 year old ,they both love hunting and every chance they had they would go out and do it. Know there is kno one to hunt with..that little boy was going to be a huge track star and his dad was going to be his coach. and the little girl whos dream was to walk down the isle with her dad.....
 
Sorry to hear about your friend.

When I was in high school a carfull of 4 students in a VW bug were killed by a schoolbus. I went to a school of 2400 kids but it was still a rough time because two of them (brothers) lived on my street.

It's difficult, but everyone will get through it. Good luck and keep your chin up.
 
I'm so sorry to hear that your friend took her own life.

When I was in high school in the 80's back in Colorado, we had an outbreak of suicides starting with the most popular boy in my school killing himself a month into my sophomore year. He was a senior and had grown up with pretty much everyone in his class, the teachers all knew him, too. For a full week, students and faculty alike missed classes, couldn't function well and the school basically fell apart because no one knew how to deal with it. They brought in counselors and eventually the school came around. But like I said, that was the start. My junior year a good friend of mine committed suicide (he was buried the same day as the space shuttle exploded) and another girl did too. My senior year one of my classmates also killed himself. It spread like wildfire and there were students all around the Denver area who committed suicide during those, and over the next, few years. I think one was even in junior high. It was a very bad time.

Please make sure you keep an eye out for others who show signs of suicide. They aren't easy to see, but sometimes when there is one student suicide, others will think it's an easy, albeit permanent, answer to a temporary problem.

Take care of yourself and your friends right now. Blessed be.
 
Thanks for all of your well wishes. I found out that there was another kid who comitted suicide on Sunday night....I didn't know him, but he was friends with one of my friends and she was worked up about that one and Suzie at the same time.

I am watching out for people. But the thing I don't get is, she seemed perfectly happy. The day she killed herself, she was perfectly happy seeming in PE and she was cheerful in ag...She showed NO signs at all...and then it just happened...I can't figure out why...
 
PPl can be sick and you may never know it .The mind can play horrible tricks on you.
 
She was probably already at peace because she had made the decision to go through with it. Frequently, suicidal people are not like what many people imagine. There often isn't anything obviously wrong because that person is working at projecting an image that they think people want to see. Many who commit suicide aren't crying and hysterical about it, even at the end. They are calm and peaceful knowing that their problems will soon be over. There is a sense of relief.

I hope it helps to know that she felt that what she was doing what was right for her, even though we can't understand it. I just wish she had asked for help.

I just have to agree here.. I had a friend that killed him self a few years ago.. NO ONE did see it coming untill it had happend.. he hadn´t done any homework ore turned in papers for over 6 months!! he was always happy, made alot of future plans with his closes friends and the last night of his life he spend it laghing and having fun with alot friends,they made plans for the next day, they parted and then he was gone.

it always is hard when someone dies.. but you just have to keep moving, no one cant blame them self for not seeing it....

Me too...I would have helped...there are so many people who could have helped. I just hope that she did feel better right before the end, and that she is in a better place...wherever that might be...
