   Suicide Hotline, a/j speaking...
So lately, I've gotten into a new yahoo group, and have been talking with them online. There's this kid, he's really sweet, and smart, but he's depressed as hell. The other night, he started talking about suicide. It freaked me out so much that when I got an instant message from him, I couldn't not talk to him.

I convinced him to go and talk to his mom about it. He was pretty close to, as he put it, finding tall places to jump from. Today, I heard from him again. His parents thought that his online friends were the ones that made him the way he is. He yelled at them, and told them that it was one of those people who gave him the courage to actually come clean about being suicidal.

He actually said that they should thank me. Otherwise, he'd still be looking longingly at bridges and ten-story buildings.

Kind of drained me, you know? Trying to talk someone down from suicide, and get them to try and find help...it's far from something I wanted to do at 3 am. But it was worth it. He's getting help. And I have a new nickname, apparently. That is, unless he's decided that it's a pet name. He calls me Hikari. It means "brilliance" or "ray of light".

It makes me happy to know that I helped him out, even if it was just a push in the right direction.
