Hannah was known as the girl who committed suicide for no reason. Her death left everyone who knew her puzzled because they all wondered why she killed herself. For a few lucky ones, they had a chance to listen to her thirteen (13) cassette tapes and discover the reasons to her suicide. They also had a chance to explore her favorite and memorable places that either brought a negative or positive effect to her life. Some places brought with them clues to this unsolved mystery.
My conclusion is that, what Hannah did is not worth a praise or criticism. Life throws a lot of experiences that are most of the time hard to handle. There is a period in life when things just don’t go your way and feel harder than ever. For some it starts when you are in high school, but for others it only hits them when they are in college. This period is rough, but it’s at this same point when you decide whether to go harder than the pressure or give up. Though, this doesn’t give anyone the reason to commit suicide. Through the scriptures, suicide is sin no matter the reason behind it.
Hannah was going through so much both at school and at home. They had family problems of down sizing because her parent’s business wasn’t doing as good as before. At school, she was constantly bullied, used and invisible to others. The pile up of all these things caused her to break down. I won’t call it a praise because it’s not but I like the fact that she left a memory behind before her death. Everyone says when some one dies they die with their secrets but she decided to share hers with those who were once close to her. She got to say goodbye before her last breath was taken away.
I think this is a very thoughtful post, Chanda. I think it shows how complicated it is to understand someone else's life.
