..I drew this because I learnt today that someone at my school committed suicide today. I don't know who the person is; I don't even know what he looks like. I'm not particularly sad for this reason. I don't know WHEN he took his life- I heard he went home during lunch and did it, although other people said they heard about it in the morning.
Apparently, he seemed fine yesterday. I told a friend who said that that he must be a good actor. To be suffering inside enough to decide to end your life.. To apparently seem "fine", they must of tried hard to pretend to be happy.
I.. I guess I just wanted to get this view out. I believe that, as lame as it may sound, everything you do changes your future. If you were to step in a different direction your life would be different to if you had stepped somewhere else.
Therefore, I believe simple acts impact someones life. You may unwittingly do something someone will remember for a long time. Someone may see you and remember you for whatever reason.
Therefore, although it's hypocritical for me to say so (and if you've read any of my angsty journals, you'll understand why I say that), I don't think anyone should consider themselves "unimportant", or "not needed".
Take for example a band that is unpopular and canned by critics- they will always have at least ONE fan.
I hope my message is clear. Suicide doesn't solve problems and it doesn't make anything happier. If you're dead, you can't ever experience happiness you may of experienced if you lived a day longer. If you're dead, people definately have no need for you.
Um.. if you feel depressed or such, remember that there's always someone you can talk to; always. Whether it's friends or family, a councellor or even someone on the internet (_{you know who you are, you shiny future sailor soup (lolwut@w@)} ). Don't ever think that no one will understand. Believe me, telling someone, or addressing the problem- such as feeling that someone may be rejecting you- is the best way to do it. Suicide only brings pain to other people; people that maybe you think you'd help by killing yourself.

(I'm sorry this picture is so boring. Really, I just wanted to talk of the issue rather then draw something fantastic.)
_{By the way, the character crossing the street is Panic. I thought that he'd be most appropriate to represent someone who thinks they are worthless.
