I can't believe how many views this thread got. Post something positive, get a few peeks here n there, but post something about death and people are all over it, like flies to a steaming pile of - well, you get the point.

Good news for people that love bad news.

It may not be that people like bad news, but that they do like Anime Girl 16 and want to show their support.

Edit: or at least they do care a lot.

Oh gee. Has it really been that long? It didn't even feel like almost a year went by since I lost my friend Shannon. Sometimes it feels like it was just yesterday, but at the same time it feels like many many years ago since it happened. Sometimes I wonder if this was all just a dream. I mean it was like she was here, and now she's gone. She left without a word, too quickly. I was so upset. I didn't eat, didn't sleep, didn't smile or laugh much. Sometimes I still feel incredibly depressed. They say watever doesn't kill you make you stronger. That's a lie. I pretend to be strong on the outside, but I'm very weak and delicate inside. I pretend nothing others me that much, I never shed a tear in public anymore, but I am indeed still a weakling, sometimes I still dread getting up in the morning to go to school. No one has ever seen me cry since then, except for Bri, my BFF. She's almost family to me. I eventually got over this, started watching Regular Show which cheered me up. But I feel like more than just Shannon died that day. My innocense died a little too. I still act like a child, but now I feel like I'm more, I dunno, cynical maybe, and I don't act like a crybaby, at least not in public. How could this happen? How could she do this? I heard rumors of cyberbullying, but I had no idea. I felt so helpless and clueless! She won't ever get to grow up to be an actress, or get married. She never even got to have a sweet 16. On Thursday our school will wear orange, her favorite color. I don't even like orange that much, but I'll be happy to find something so I can show support. I just hope nothing else bad happens this time of year.

Keeping you and Shannon in my prayers, Anime Girl 16.

Actually you sound like a caring, mature young woman who is still grieving the loss of dear friend. Cherish the wonderful times you had with Shannon and do your best to trust that she's at peace now, and I'm certain she would certainly want you to enjoy your teen years as much as possible.

And sometimes, the tragedies we face in our lives also bring us the greatest opportunities for growth and understanding. I think it's wonderful you're all wearing orange in support of her memory.

april's right, you are a caring person, if you didn't care then you wouldn't be upset about this.

let yourself feel, it is the only way to get past the sadness, if you want to keep a feeling then try to flatten it, it will come back stronger and explosively.

I would hug you it I could and you would let me.

Im so sorry I never know what to say but just remember you have all of us (including Astro !!) here for you so if you want 2 talk, go ahead!!!!!

I must say life really dose suck sometimes, but just remember that when your down theres only one other way you can go, UP!!!!!!!!!! And if you ask me, up has NO limitations!!

[Anime Girl]

Thank you everybody. Today it has been one whole year since Shannon passed. As I said before, I didn't know until the 8th and final period of school. Unfortunatly I don't have any orange clothing. The most ornge on clothes I have so far is my Mordecai and the Rigbys tee shirt, and some earrings, a necklace, and hair ties. I did however fold an orange origami crane which I have in my jacket pocket. I'm pretty depressed and upset at the momment. Could it be possible to PM me later. I just want someone to talk to, but I'm kinda shy to do so in school, at least right now.

[diehard67]

I will talk if you want, just PM me and we will go from there.
