Olivia Penpraze.

19 years old.

Died from a Suicide attempt that left her brain dead. Her parents made the hardest decision of their lives by turning off her life support.

She had a Tumblr account with over 900 posts sharing her emotional turmoil, dealings with depression, loneliness & thoughts about her wanting to take her own life.

The only response she got, was insensitive assholes, like the majority of people on Tumblr, encouraging her to do it. She was bullied consistently.
Olivia attempted to kill herself every year in May 1st since 2008.

In May 2012, her short life came to an end.

I know most people can’t tolerate posts like Olivia’s, whom find it attention seeking.
My point to you people is…

EXACTLY!!

Of course it’s attention seeking what else it?! People share that part of themselves over the Internet because they obviously feel they can’t talk to anyone they know nor do they think anyone would care.

All I want is for people to cut out the bullying & talk to people like Olivia.
A conversation to someone in desperation could save their life.

If people can’t say something nice, don’t say anything at all.

You never know…
What you say could be used to decide whether they live or die.

Even if youre a b&w blog, reblog this. 

Please, please be good to each other on Tumblr. And in life. How unbelievably heart-breaking that her life was cut short.

Not discussed: how many people tried to help her? How many people told her not to, told her she was loved, and tried to talk her down? Probably a ton. Probably most of the messages. But the mean comments stay in the mind more strongly than the kind ones. You may think your message is one mean one out of a thousand nice ones, and that somehow makes it okay for you to vent your callousness on the innocent. But that one message overpowers the other 999, and it is all a person can think about. Your message could kill a person. Is it worth it? Is it worth it to take life just so you can “call out” a potential “attention seeker”?
