Martha's Intro
Suicide is the issue I decided to choose because I lost a great friend named Stephanie Montero my sophomore year of high school. She was a senior, a friendly and outgoing senior. This is an issue because many people go unheard and their only option is to kill themselves not knowing there are many options to prevent that from occurring. I am passionate about this issue because Stephanie never seemed sad, depressed, or anything that showed why she committed suicide. She was one of the happiest girls I knew, always with a smile on her face. She knew how to make your day instantly, till this day I don't understand her reasoning behind what she did. I know if she would have perhaps talked to someone close, like my cousin Yelitza Deluna, she wouldn't have gone this far; she would still be here with us. Stephanie would still be sleeping over Yelys house like always and we would all still be able to “chill” in the stairs like the old times. She was a very wise girl; this is why i'm still extremely confused by her action. I know there are many options besides committing suicide, I want to be able to help others and let them know that suicide won't help them in any way. Suicide only leaves many tears and aching hearts that can never be healed, especially those of your parents and close friends. You leave this world but you take most people with you because all those people that you might've thought didn't care about you, are the most hurt. Those people are the ones who stay full of regrets, and full of “what if’s”, not being able to do anything about it because that special someone is gone. It is very hard knowing you won't be back to neighborhood “Churros”, going to yelys house to talk about dumb stuff.
I hope to prove through my thesis that there are many more options besides committing suicide, one option is seeking for help with a professional, talking it out with friends, your peers or teachers, but suicide should not be an option for anyone. My thesis explains that suicide should never be an option or even cross anyone's mind. There are many advocates that are willing to hear you out and help you out through those tough times. Those advocates are resources that will guide you through a series of proper steps that will help you out. There is always different roads you can take so you can get the proper help you need, if the first road you go through doesn't help, then make another one; and another one after that until you get to where you want to be. Suicide is becoming the easiest way out, when it should be the hardest. Ending your life early only diminishes all the opportunities you would have had for yourself and all those around you.
