So Sad…

My mom’s a social worker and the other night she had to go out of town to pick up one of her clients. The client was a 7 yr. old suicidal child. It’s really sad to think that someone who’s only 7 years old is already thinking about suicide. I know that I’ve been kind of suicidal lately (or more really depressed I guess), but it’s hard to believe that a child as young as 7 would think about it. It makes me wonder what’s happened to her in her life so far. I’m assuming she’s been through a lot and has been hard on her. My parents used to be foster parents. They had been for sixteen years and so I know that some of these kids do go through a really hard time at a really young age. I just think that it’s really sad and that some people just really shouldn’t have kids. You’re suppose to be happy and not worry about stuff when you’re that young. Ok so not all the time, but for the most part I think that should be the time in your life where you make mistakes and learn from them and you make friends and learn how to get along with others and I just think it should be a happy time in someone’s life. I know it isn’t always, but that must say a lot about this child’s life if she’s already thinking about suicide and is only 7 years old. Sometimes I wonder what our world is coming to.
