    Not a lot of problems bother me so deeply but I need people to quit killing themselves. :tears: But it is the fault of the people who drove them to it. Now they have to live with their deadly savagery.

    God, it's so fucked up and frustrating how people can bully and harass others, especially transgender people, to the point where they commit suicide. How many kids have to die before this stops? We need to change our culture because obviously high school is still not a safe place for transgender people. This is so tragic!

    I just looked her up on Youtube, and saw her videos. This is so heartbreaking. R.I.P. Taylor. You will be missed.

    I hope not.

    Whenever I see a suicide thread with no response from the threadstarter, I like to imagine them going "oh my, people do care" immediately followed by a unicorn appearing and transporting them to a fantasy realm where there are no computers or internet connections.

    Unlikely, this girl seems to be from California, while the other poster, according to information on profile, seems to be from North Carolina.
    I still hope the same thing as you do about thread starter though.

    How many people need to die before these idiots realize that they need to stop or people might get hurt or even killed! This topic is verry touching to me because my uncle blew his head of because he was discriminated against for having the courage to be publicly gay! My uncle is a victem of these morons! I say no more! We as the people need to take responsibility and prevent these moronic people From causing more suicide! My uncle's death still haunts me from personal experience. I walked into the room after he pulled the trigger. If only I was sooner I could have saved him. He could have lived a happy life! I now wish that these people feel the pain that they cause to so many others by driving some to suicide. This pain inside of me is forever seeking the morons who caused it so that it may spread and they can see what they did to me and all the relatives of those who killed themselves.

    Sadly, within America many forms of discrimination are legal and people tend to use the popular phrase "freedom of speech", as a means to say whatever they want. I myself am a very open person with my views on religion but never aim to hurt. Many people say vicious things to people within the LGBT+ community all the time, things that should never be said.
    May all these people RIP
    Best Wishes

    All these people are causing suicides and getting away because the American people are not acting though! Suicide is too Colin in the LGBT community and this needs to change somehow. People can't discriminate against the elderly and get away scot free after all why should it be different for homosexual, bisexual, or transexual people?

    If our society really accepted all kind of differences, accepted people like Taylor and anothers the world could be a better place to live...

    I think with her included, we've lost three kids this week, and I think one of them was in the same area as Taylor too. This is becoming too much...
