I think many people have had vague thoughts about what it would be like, but I have never really considered it. If I have ever even thought about it, I think about people who have been in much worse situations and kept on fighting and surviving. My dad fought cancer for three years (brain tumor) before he died. My mom had a bone marrow transplant ten years ago for multiple myeloma(a type of bone marrow cancer). Now it is back, but the doctor told her that she has gone twice as long in remission as any other marrow transplant. Christopher Reeves is also a person I look up to. It's wonderful that he has all sorts of money to afford really expensive treatments, but he still has not given up and keeps fighting. And then there is always the people who have been persecuted and beaten down for their beliefs. Look at all of the Jews that survived the concentration camps. Most of them did not commit suicide. My problems were a lot less than theirs, and I think most people here never faced problems that they did. That may sound callous, but oh well. I mean, what was so bad in Kurt Cobain's life that he needed to commit suicide? If you have problems, seek help. Talk to someone. Learn to accept that life sometimes sucks, and understand that there are millions of people who have had a tougher time than you and have pulled through. If you want attention, be a person who makes a difference, not a selfish kid.
