Imagine if the phone rang right now. Your parent answered it, and their face dropped. You knew something was wrong that instant. They babble on about something for a while, then hang up. They take a deep breath, then walk over to you. The words ‘there’s been an accident.’ You find out that your best friend has just committed suicide. They’re gone, out of your life. Everything you had wish you done, you no longer have a chance. You feel helpless, and your life will never be the same. You have to move on, and go back to school, walk through the same halls that your friend walked through, with a smile on her face. You’ll go to class and have to hear stupid teachers tell you the same speech over and over again about what happened and how it’s not right to take your own life. Now, do you think that’ll be the worst feeling in the world? Then consider that before you take your own life. Consider what other people will feel. You guys can get through every bad thing in your life, just reach out to somebody, because nothing hurts more than knowing you should have done something, but didn’t take that chance, and it’s too late.

When people talk about Tumblr in public…

When you laugh and accidentally hit your head.
