One word, teens. Teenage lives are filled with drama, terror, bullying, cyberbully and thoughts. Being a teenager myself I can relate to how teens think and react. Suicidal thoughts, how do you feel about that word, harassment sexually and inappropriately, how do you feel about that. Teens these days go through either one of these thoughts and don’t resolve it in the best way.  

Hamze Beydoun is a student at Unis Middle School. He has an opinion towards Teens and their reaction to the concept of suicidal thoughts due to bullying. Relating to the TV show “13 reasons why”,  teens have suicidal thoughts, and go through bullying themselves. Hamze a tennager himself stated that if he was ever going through this situation he would feel angry and violated in his life.He would also make sure that the person causing him to go through all this pain would face repercussions. You might ask yourself , what may help you resolve this situation? Well Hamze Beydoun stated that “ I think you should talk to someone about it, see a therapist,and get the help you need because suicide is never the answer”.

My sister, Hiba Mukhal. Is a student at Michigan University. Hiba herself has dealt with teens that went through suicidal thoughts before, She stated that the tv show 13 reasons why relates with many kids lives nowadays, quoted hiba said “cyber bullying,depression,sexual assault, and other issues are what kids face in their teen years”. Hiba being able to connect with the people she had talked to and dealt with this she would try to put herself in their shoes, how would she react and feel. She stated that she would talk to someone about like a therapist or someone she trusts. “You don’t win by suicide” , is what Hiba tells kids that are in this situation she think that suicide is never the answer and that there is a better way to resolve a problem like this instead of taking away your own life to solve it.

Teachers and staff also have an opinion on this too, My teacher Ms. April Kincaid has a big opinion towards this. I asked Ms.Kincaid “How do you think the tv show 13 reasons why relates to teens lives”? And she replied with “ the tv show should mostly seen by teens so they can connect and learn how to treat others and in the worst time result to see what happens and how they feel”. Most  teens like to gossip, look good in front of their peers, and being popular is a need in their life.  Being apart of it or even going through it is rough , knowing who is causing you this pain and making all these rumors ,people like them should stop and receive a punishment for their behavior. But lets say it was the other way around. What if you or someone you care for was getting bullied and eventually it came to having  suicidal thoughts? Ms.Kincaid stated that she would first make them feel loved and let them see a proportional or a therapist.

To Sum it all up, Many teens go through the thought of suicide or bullying in and out of school. You wouldnt believe how much it affects a tennager or a student.  Think before you do something you’re going to regret and before you say something or do something to hurt someone there is a saying “think before you do your actions”.
