Too sad...

I don't normally read or listen to news, especially local because quite frankly life sometimes offends me enough without seeing just what crappy cards it's dealing everyone else and hey, what can I do about it anyway? But something did catch my attention today, in fact you couldn't escape it. In one area, West Belfast, there have been 13 teenage suicides in the last 6 weeks and we aren't talking about a huge area here, that to me is horrifying, and perhaps the toll will continue to rise, the latest incident when a teenage guy just after the funeral of his best friend (who had also killed himself) decided to go the same way. I can't judge them, some may not have meant for things to go as far as they did, a simple cry for help, some were obviously too distraught to see or want any other option. What is going on there, what the fuck is happening that this has become such an "Iwant out of here" hotspot that they are taking such extreme measures to acomplish this goal?

Sometimes you wish you'd stayed in safe oblivion of the world around you...
