Love and respect yourself!

Recently, having read a sad article about one unhappy young woman of 16, who was constantly teased andbullied and whose boyfriend also left her, because “she was not as everybodyelse”, which made her commit suicide…. She jumped from the roof of themulti-storey building… it had such a sad effect on me.. so I would like to talkmore about it here and discuss and express the way I feel towards the all ofthis…

Unfortunately, quite often, we come across similar news on Tv and radio or internet, especially amongteenagers, when because of the stress, long term deep depression caused by oneor another life problem, young person willingly ends his/her life. Puttingmyself in his or her place, in order to understand why, young, full of lifeteenager, is trying to take from themselves the most precious that he’s got –their life, their self believe, their own “I” after all.

Oh no, I do not condemn for such decisions, as each person’s psychology, values and attitude to life itselfare completely different and especially during teen period, when everything isfor the first time, and life is only in “black or white colours” ….

In my understanding …. suicide – is like outburst of emotions, result of long emotional, stressfultension in person’s life, that could be generated by many factors…. It is acertain psychological way out of the problem, which is very important for theperson for that particular moment…. It can be negative social attitude towardsthat teenager in school, on the street, problems within the family, among thefriends, which may express in calling names, bulling and violence… young personfeels like “unneeded or useless”…..

In the past, when one of our models, was constantly called a “mop” in the school, because of her heightof 177 cm, at the age of 11, and when as we remember, this baby used to come toour agency and complain with the tears in her eyes, «Why «mop» in particular !?At least they could have called me «giraffe» or «ostrich» …!»…. Our aim was(together with her mom), to help to recover this beautiful, graceful and justtall young girl her own confidence, self believe, love and respect to its place,where it should be. Time goes by…. And this model, now , is very proud of whoshe is, the way she looks and successfully goes on working with us as a model.

This means that most likely, with times, if you try to change your attitude to the problem that gnawingyou, and if you let somebody to listen to you…then may be… there is a chance tochange something in your life ….

Unfortunately, not always we can “see” when we can help. One of my friends, at the time, when I was ateenager myself, also had certain problems in her life that made her attemptthe suicide. And it all started, because of her relations with her boyfriend…She is beautiful, smart, confident young girl, , after starting to date anadult boyfriend, whose left her eventually, became completely “shut” from us –her friends, and we could not understand what was wrong… it all finished, whenshe was found unconscious on the floor in her own room with an empty bottle ofsleeping pills and very serious poisoning. …Fortunately, the girl was saved. I remember,that it had such a terrible effect on me.. we were friends and I never eversuspected that something was so wrong in her life that she would try to end it.

You can name many similar examples.. The most important thing that I want to ask you , is- to wait!Please think! Please let somebody listen to you! There will be many happymoments in your young long life, that you will miss out, because of somereasons that important for you at this particular moment!! You will miss nicemorning sun, singing of birds, every day; you will miss your last day atschool, your prom, and your first achievements: first job, car, your futurekids and grandchildren……

But the most important- you are trying to reject from the most important thing you have got- your life! Pleasedo remember, what ever difficulties life is throwing at us, “It will pass,too!”

This article is written not as a try to give you a lecture … after all, each Person makes his owndecisions, but I will be very HAPPY if because of this article, something canbe changed at least in one person’s life.

Everything is going to be ok!
