North Carolina Girl, 10, Committed Suicide

Fuck it. Just nuke the earth. Our BABIES don’t think it’s worth being here. We’re terribly fucked up.

Okay. I’m going to post a thought that’s been nagging at me since the other one that probably no one will agree with.

What if it wasn’t suicide? What if they were made to do it by their parents? I know it sounds fucked up… but so is a ten year old hanging themselves…

Ugh. I’m going to go get my almost -ten year old from her art class and let her know I love her.

Something had to be going on….ten yr old girls just don’t do this unless they are out of hope.Sad that these kids doing this are getting younger and younger

I tried to commit suicide when I was 13 because of bullying. I tried for so long to get my mom to understand how bad it was, but she was too busy to listen. Later, after I got home from the hospital, my mom asked me, “Why didn’t you tell me it was so bad?” I responded, “I DID!!” 

How can a child summon up the will to let themself hang until they are dead? I mean.. it’s hard enough to get a kid to sit still for a family photo!! I’m not even joking..   It blows my mind..  I’m one of those people who’s been miserable enough to hold a bottle of pills in my hands and think “I could just take them all and go to sleep”..  overdosing seems a tad more peaceful than stangulation but obviously I still couldn’t go through with it..  How hopeless do you have to be to choose death when you’re not even old enough to really comprehend your own mortality? Maybe thats the key though..  An adult understands what it means to be “dead”..  I’m not trying to discount the intelligence of children (I’ve met some pretty damn sharp ones), but..  there are some things you learn in life only by living a few years..   That poor little girl..  and her family..  

Heather I thought of that too when I read it and I felt bad for having the thought crossing my mind . I know it’s a disturbing thought but how can one make sense of little ten year old girls hanging themselves? They’re just babies!! I have a grandson who is a year and a half younger than her. How can a parent look at that sweet face and not feel your heart breaking? I was shocked when I looked at her picture and she so much resembles one of my daughter’s photos from when she was that age. Sweet little toothless smile ( not even adult teeth yet!), same carefully plaited braids, beautiful and innocent brown eyes. (my daughter is now 30 years old with four kids and another on the way) How can her parents cope with this? I can’t even imagine how it would feel!! And what if it was because she was bullied? What kind of torture can kids inflict on other children to drive them to such drastic action?! Give your daughter a hug and kiss from me!

Two police departments and a medical examiner ruled that Rebecca Zahau killed herself

My brother and I both first attempted suicide when we were younger than this girl, but we were dealing with the trauma of being physically, emotionally, and sexually abused.  Something definitely isn’t right here, and investigators should look carefully at everyone involved in this girl’s life.

I have to say, that these stories are really hitting home for me. I was Bullied as a child, among other things & I understand the feeling of utter hopelessness. I was 14 the first time I tried to take my own life. I can honestly say that I had a mantra in my head, when I was that young, that  went something along the lines of ” I wish I was dead, I wish I was never born.” But it took me several years to actually form any sort of a plan to off myself. So I understand the feeling, but I like many of you am shocked at how young these children are that are committing suicide. So Sad. I know now, that I’m older, that the desperation is temporary. I wish there was a way to convey to these young people that it will change, and it can get better.

I have a relative that works as a homicide detective for the city of San Diego and I have talked with him about this case.  There a tons of details the media has left out that all point the finger at suicide.  The cops know what they are doing.

Sadly enough, that sounds like my mom, grandmother, okay..my entire family. First attempt was at age 11 over here. I suggest looking into the little girl’s background for abuse, mentally unstable family, etc.

kids don’t always tell their parents about bullying. i got picked on in middle school for not having cool clothes and i didn’t tell mom and dad. i didn’t let those little shits get to me though. i guess i always knew school doesn’t last forever. i like to look at my bullies’ fb pages and see they have kids and live in the same shitty town. and i wear the cool clothes now, bitch lmao.

Why in the hell are our young people killing themselves?  Why?  They are getting younger and younger.  I know what it is like to be suicidal……the young age baffles me.  Tragic, 

I said it before and I will say it again. why are these young children allowed to go on chat sites such as facebook unsupervised.Asa parent of grown daughters, I would not let them on such a site at such ayoung age, but thats just me.That poor little girl must have been going through alot in her mind/life to take her life. Such a pretty little girl too.

*hands over a red firey basket that includes a pineapple and a oneway ticket*

For you.

When I heard that this little girl was picked on about her clothes it kinda make my blood boil. In this picture she is the epitome of what a little girl should be. When I see tiny baby girls wearing booty shorts and mid drifts with their little pot bellys on display it really makes me wanna slap a momma. This girl was dressed and looked like what a little girl should be, not like a ho in training.

Well Demonites for this story to be the first one I run across is striking a nerve tonight! My daughter has just had her first run in with cyber bullying  by a chick that goes to her school. Who looks 18 but is in the 6th fucking grade. I just reveiwed a conversation from a couple of hours ago that this girl is telling my daughter that she better bring 5 dollars tomorrow or she is gonna get her ass beat…and cussing like a sailor and her profile pic is her flicking off the camera….(must have greaaaaaaat parents). My daughter told me and I saw where my kid was actually negotiating with this little bitch. Saying well, I will bring you 75 cents. I commented to the little shit that “my daughter won’t be giving your little butt one red penny, trust and believe that, nor will you be putting your hands on her either trust and believe that.” And that I had something for her tomorrow. It just so happens my daughter won’t be in school tomorrow cause she has a dentist appt, but I will be calling the school. And Monday when my daughter goes back I will be there AT the school. I also told that little girl she better hope she was joking because I was gonna get her parents involved with or without the school. But the schools gonna be the first to know. And they won’t be able to ignore me OR my rather large husband.
 It sucks that this beautiful little girl was being treated so poorly in this world by a bunch of lil monster molds of “for shit” parents. So damn sad…..

more kids need active, involved parents like you, most parents believe school is a free babysitter so “someone else” will deal with any issues, and that’s how we end up with cases like ashlynn and jasmine. 

Ya know, Christina, I thought that too, at first, about the inactive parenting.  But after thinking about it a little bit the whole situation scares me even more than it did.  I have a 9-year-old girl (will be 10 in early Feb.) and a 12-year-old boy.  I think that my kids and I spend a huge amount of time just TALKING.  I sit with them before bed and we just chat, about anything, whether or not there’s really aliens, what they think should happen to fix the problem with bullying (ya, I bought it up to bounce it off them a little bit, put the control back in their hands so to speak, although they have no such problems as far as I know), why they think some people really hate tomatoes, etc. My point is, I think we have an extremely open and caring relationship.  However, having said that, I KNOW there’s probably some things that haven’t been said.  My daughter, as awesome as she is, isn’t one to open up about her feelings if she’s hurt.  She’s a “hider”, as I am.  If I blink I could easily miss it, then life moves on and sometimes I don’t find out about some small issue until it’s already passed and she’s ready to talk about it.  Sometimes, I hate to say, my son will bring something to my attention (he’s very close with his sister).  Between my son, my daughter, my husband, myself, my ex (their dad) and his wife (an awesome step-mom) I hope we’ve got all the bases covered.  But, It terrifies me that one day, all that talking and straight-in-the eye questioning that I engage in with my child MIGHT not be enough!  It absolutely sucks, but I think that it can’t always be the parents’ fault.  Because we never expect a child so young to have dying even on their radar I think it’s very possible that it’s not always a lack of parenting that’s at fault, but a lack of education in the fact that our babies are growing up much more quickly than they used to.  Maybe we need to extend suicide prevention education into the lower grades, a shame, but maybe necessary (although I don’t know the statistics on how beneficial such education has been in the upper grades).  Also, I guess, parents now will have to watch for signs at a much earlier age, which we’re not used to having to.

Obviously I’m not addressing any other circumstances this little one must have been dealing with.  Just saying that I think that sometimes all the parenting in the world can’t prevent such horrible events.

“What if it wasn’t suicide? What if they were made to do it by their parents?”

I JUST DON’T KNOW WHAT TO SAY TO THIS … PRETTY WILD THOUGHT.

Oh my lord! 
What the fuck is going on that our young kids are picking themselves off one by one.
Suicide is a fucking permanent solution to a short term problem and more parents need to talk to their kids about bullying and how to handle it. You don’t handle it yourselves you take it to the people who will beat a bitch ass to get the problem solved. 
Problems like this could be solved if more parents and their kids had an open line of communication. 

“you take it to the people who will beat a bitch ass to get the problem solved. ”

The one parent who did exactly that was arrested,and people on here talked bad about her.

This particular case does not offer much information on what was going on with the child,but I will say this: No happy,well adjusted child kills them self.

I can relate.
Never attempted … I just sat for hours on end in my room alone thinking about it.In the end I just made up my mind that I was not going to give the fuckers the pleasure of me offing myself.

” I wish I was dead, I wish I was never born.”
WOW … I used to think this exact same thing.I used to sit and wonder why the fuck my parents brought me into this world.

Unhappy has no age requirement.

 Presumably she means they’re both tragic.

You are most likely correct.
I glanced over the subject matter of the book,but I didn’t see a correlation;however it’s a fairly big book.

Right you are, Cedric,  I believe the elderly have a high suicide rate as well. 

Jude the Obscure caused a major uproar when it first came out, and some people actually publicly burned it.  The reaction to it was so overwhelmingly negative that Thomas Hardy decided to quit writing novels and devoted the rest of his life to writing poetry. 

The tragic climax of the novel occurs when Jude’s son from his first marriage kills his two younger half-siblings and hangs himself, leaving behind a note that reads, “Done because we are too menny.”  The boy, nicknamed “Old Father Time” is roughly the same age as sweet little Jasmine.

So, when I read of Jasmine’s suicide and her age, and the manner in which she died, it just brought the novel to mind.

AHH … got it.Thank you for explaining.

Something about this case feels weird to me.
Hmm….

In Jude the obscure the oldest boy kills his 2 younger siblings then hangs himself because the family has so many troubles due to parents being cousins and unable to find work and housing.

Is it really that wild considering the fucked up stuff parents already admit to doing to their kids?

I’m surprised it’s not more.

I can thankfully say I’ve never wished I was dead.

Can’t count how many times I’ve wished someone else was though. Graphic visualization can be very cathartic.

These details are not being kept from the public. You just do what most people do and believe everything you hear on the news. The media releases what they want to release. Most of what they have released is misconstrued. One being she had her hands bound together, which she did, but the knot was very loose and could have easily been done by her. Another thing is they found NO TRACE of anybody else’s DNA on the rope or her body, if you hear that there was then that is something you can call bullshit on.
