Have you ever thought about committing suicide?

Yes, I did when I was younger. I was always overweight and I got teased horribly at school. Every morning it was like hell for me to get up and walk into that building.

I tried everything I could think of to stay home from school. Obviously my mother caught on that I wasn't really sick that often and forced me to go. I was so depressed and lonely that I tried to stab myself.

I thought it would make all the pain go away. I remember standing in the kitchen at my house with a huge knife in my hand, trying over and over again to stab myself. It probably wasn't the best method of suicide, but I was a kid at the time and I didn't know any better.

Every time the knife touched my stomach, I couldn't bring myself to jam it in. I think it made me feel even worse, because it was just another thing I failed at. But that was a long time ago.

Now I'm happy that I didn't succeed.

Yes. I think of it very often. And I wonder at those who have committed suicide already.

And, especially those who kept trying unless they succeeded. Think of Sylvia Plath. Think of those who tried time and again.

Princess Diana tried it five times. Elton John made attempts more than once. Britney Spears, Halle Berry, Elizabeth Taylor are also in the queue.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
