One would think this perfectly logical life lesson is the most simplistic and realistic way to live life, especially since it's been told countlessly throughout the years. The original writer of this life lesson failed miserably to view life through the eyes of depression. Until depression is experienced, there are no words to prevent the accompanied tragedies . . . not one.

It's not the breakup that causes suicide. It's ongoing depression that is pushed over the edge. It's more dangerous in teens as hormones wreak havok in the brain.

I’m 60 years old. My heart was shattered and broken in pieces by my first love at 19 years old who left me high and dry. I thought of ending it back in 1979. I didn’t. I would have missed SO much. A great life. My husband. 3 wonderful grown sons and my first grandchild, a baby girl, due in June. No one is worth ending your life over.

Nowadays we are so used to judging people faces, whether they are pretty, whether they are perfect...until we actually forgot the functions of a face. With a face, we can see, we can breathe, smile, eat, hear... but when Katie lost her face she can barely even talk. If you have a functional body, it is perfect enough. But most importantly, love yourself for who you are, and what anybody else say will be nothing to you. ❤

I am 70 years old. My first "love" dumped me at 20 years old because of our different religions. I was crushed. She was Jewish, I was Protestant. Her family didn't approve of that difference and she subsequently was pressured into dumping me. Hit me very hard but I was fortunate enough to be able to rationalize about what had happened and that it wasn't my fault. She found her "Jewish prince" and married him in 1976. He didn't love her, he cheated on her multiple times through the years, something I wouldn't have ever done. They divorced at some point. Sad.

I never want my daughter to feel that ANY relationship, or any other issue in life, is worth committing suicide. She also had step-sister that successfully committed suicide at 17 (my daughter was 10 at the time, so it was in 2018) by gun-shot--her dad's gun. It was horrific. I can't imagine whether it's better to survive something like that or not--but YOU have shown such bravery in sharing your story and I can't thank you enough

@@maryellenthompson8261 So true. But apparently she didn’t get to see her face, since Katie’s brother dragged the mom immediately out. She had time to only see the legs. Such a smart and caring young man.

I have listened to Katie's story many times. Today, in July 2021, I have noticed for the first time that from early childhood she had herself under extreme pressure. In this report her mother says, of her daughter's high school experience, "She had to have that 4.0. " This represents perfectionism. And too much self inflicted pressure. In my opinion, this level of perfectionism in the approach of an elementary or high school student, should be taken as a strong warning. I understand that Katie's parents are doing their absolute best now. It is obvious that they have always cared about their daughter. I just believe that there could be a connection between perfectionistic, high pressure behavior, and suicide attempts. There is this "if it is not good enough I'll just end it" attitude which can be really dangerous. Obviously her parents are great...they are wonderful. I would just ask the parents and family members of over-achieving, perfectionistic students, to guide their child in the direction of easing up on themselves. 3.9 grade average might be good enough. A few losses on the soccer field...acceptable. Just like yourself and accept yourself, as you are.

it’s hard at that age to be able to rationalize… your love feelings are so so strong you truly believe you can’t live without them. I was like it over boyfriends when I was younger but completely grew out of it.

We need to be remained of how precious life is by incredible people like Katie, she is, without doubt, a beautiful, gorgeous and wonderful person. I feel so guilty because I often moan and bitch about the difficulties life has put on my path, but they are nothing compared to what Katie has endured. My heart goes out to her, she was heartbroken and made a silly decision, which has cost her great pain and suffering beyond what anybody can imagine and she certainly did not deserve it. I wish her love, peace, happiness and also god bless all the people, doctors, nurses, and medical team who did so much to help her. People can be truly wonderful when they come together to help others.

Wow. I’m in awe. I have no other words other than to pray for her continued grace and strength.

Her Dad seems very intelligent. Her parents are strong, supportive & loving. I think that will help her go on in life. God Bless Them All.

When I was in high school, my high school sweetheart & I broke up in our junior year. I was devastated and cried for half a year and took years to actually get over it. It shadowed a lot of my young years. After the break up, I had to endure seeing him with the other girl on a daily basis as we went to the same school. He ended up taking her to the prom I’d already purchased the dress for, as we broke up the month before prom. People who knew me asked my Mom what was wrong as I’d changed from a happy, always smiling, confident girl, to a shadow of myself. I hid in our closet to cry constantly. I never thought of taking my own life, but if God had said that I’d be dying soon, I wouldn’t have flinched. I went thru the rest of my high school years acting as if I was fine, hiding behind being a varsity song leader, an active social life, and other boys(I always had dates) whom I resented because they weren’t the boy I loved. I was really a very sad girl. My poor Mom, I never stopped to notice that my pain was hers; I was too absorbed in my own woes. Only now, as a mother, do I realize that you can’t always fix what hurts your child, and that is very painful. Anyway, I’m now 74, have lived a wonderful life mostly with the love of my life, my husband. If I could tell my 16 & 17 yr old self anything, it would be to stop wasting so much time crying, enjoy the people that love you, and the boys that want to be around you. I wasted so many days. In retrospect, it was all but a drop in the bucket of my life!

You are lucky you were confident and had a social life and dated when you were young. I was extremely shy and had social anxiety when I was in my teens which prevented me from making friends let alone dating. It was awful. You say you were sad but you were lucky you got to experience all that when you were young. That you had boys interested in you and had a social life. It's much better then living with shyness and social anxiety which prevents you from enjoying and experiencing things as a teenager

Jesus, the first born, allowed all those terrible things to be done to Him, physical, emotional, pain and mental anguish, to be fair. He’s asking us to endure this world whatever comes, and don’t turn your back on God, just as He would not, even with all that was done to Him. God didn’t interfere on Christs behalf, because it would be cruel to all those he doesn’t choose to step in on. When He does intervene, he must do it “as a thief,” because if He makes a big deal of it, He will cause many more to feel abandoned. Please, if you do not want everlasting life with God, don’t try to take some with you, by doing you best to influence.

Teenagers are compulsive. Emotions run high at that age. I really wish that teens could see not only her example but the many others who had that moment, acted on it and then had to go through the unimaginable. Yet are thankful that they survived.

My grandmother used to say, the moment you stop being grateful for the good things in your life, and instead focus on the bad things and inflict harm upon yourself (like what Katie did, like drinking, drugs etc), all those good things will be taken away from you.

Well done Katie, and that family is soo caring.

The dad mentioned it was over a break up, but I'm sure there's other factors that contributed to her trying to take her life. It could have been the stress of school and feeling like she wasn't living up to expectations. It could have been facing the reality of growing up and what that means. It could have been tense friendships, friends going through their own stresses, etc. A bunch of little things add up and feel like a huge weight. Mental illness is no joke. One little thing, even if it's dropping a pen, can set you off the deep end. I hope that she was able to heal emotionally too. I commend her for battling physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually.

What a well put comment from someone who understands it's usually not as simple as a single variable. In some cases it's like you said; little weights that stack on top until it builds up to a mountain your shoulders. This can be over a period of 50 years or just 5 months. Your average person can shake these weights off so they don't build but for a person struggling with depression- these weights are chained to them and it's much harder to cut a chain. Sometimes there isn't even a catalyst that causes it and it can just be a complete change in brain chemistry. In these cases it takes up your whole life. You can feel fine one day and -BAM- the next 6 months you're in a depression. No cause, nobody dying, nothing going wrong, no breakups. Just. Bam. For others in disbelief that depression can exist without causal factors: Just to show an example of how REAL Depression is: Imbalances of the same three neurotransmitters that cause depression also cause Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, fibromyalgia, schizophrenia, etc. if unbalanced in certain ways.
