“One of the things that concern
me is when I read about, or hear of people, especially young people committing
suicide because of bullying.
I wish that I could talk to such people before
they make such a terminal decision. I would tell them to not let the
insecurities and fears of others influence them in any way.
I would tell them
to accept that all ridicule, insults, bullying and peer pressure is irrelevant
and simply unimportant to whom they are. If a parent is unaccepting of whom you
are, you need to say to them that if you are unacceptable to them they have no
right to be your parent and you should walk away from them.
Too many people are
enslaved to parents, partners and friends who do not accept them. Unacceptable
and bullying are forms of violence and everyone should walk away from violence
with dignity.
No one should tell you what to believe, how to think, how to
dress, how to behave or to dictate your sexual orientation or condemn you for
your compassion, your passion, your imagination and your character.
You are who
you are and that is what it is, and how it should be, and if others do not
tolerate who you are, don’t give them the satisfaction of destroying you.
Simply symbolically spit in their eye, walk away and concentrate on being who
you are for the benefits of yourself.
And if anyone is inclined to
commit suicide my advice is to commit social suicide instead.
That is, to drop
out of your life as it is and begin another life, in another place with new
ideas. An adventure is the antidote for depression. Take a chance, jump into
the unknown and you will be amazed at what is awaiting you after you do”.
