    Suicidal at 4th? I was suicidal in 6th!

    People don’t get that we’ve lived different lives. Also, do you know less than one in ten of us makes it to adulthood? You’re the first other one I’ve met!

    Glad somebody made it!

      Sorry, I’m curious what the “us” here is? I had my first suicidal ideation in 4th grade as well.

      As a kid/teen I never thought I’d live past 30. Not necessarily by my hand, but I just felt so sure there was a cut off point for me. Yet I did and I’m still here.

      Oh, what really? Do you have a source you can point me to? That’s super phenomenal if true. Cheers to us for surviving. I hope you’re enjoying life.
