I wish I knew her better. I wish I had talked to her more in art classes. I wish someone had saved her. Today Katie Craig, a Junior at Williams killed herself. She was a beautiful girl. I wish someone had made her realize just how wonderful she really was.

I think that suicide and murder are two of the worlds most selfish acts. People are usually so

Yes Delia, I can imagine waking up everyday and wanting to stand in front of a school bus rather than get on it. I know what it feels like to wonder if the blade on scissors are sharp enough to cut wrists. I know how it feels to wonder if the Elizabeth river is deep enough to drown in. Words didn't save me Delia, I was lucky enough to have the realization that gave me my current opinion.

When I heard my sister downstairs I knew then that she'd find me, an dit would hurt her just as much as everything I was going through hurt me. I knew that pain, and I couldn't let her feel what I felt.

I'm not angry at Katie at all. I'm not even saying *she* was selfish. I'm saying that I think the act of taking your life is never really thought out. Even with elaborat eplans you never really understand why you're doing them. You just want the pain to stop. The world won't miss you right? So you pull the trigger, tighten the rope, let the blades cut, swallow. You never think that someone, possibly someone you love or someone that loves you is going to have to find you there dead.
