When I worked in a hotel I got a shock at how many people check in purely to commit suicide so a member of their family isn’t the one to find them. It was always one of our poor housekeepers instead.

Yeah . Probably also due to the increased privacy and reduced distractions and interruptions.When I worked in a hotel I got a shock at how many people check in purely to commit suicide so a member of their family isn’t the one to find them. It was always one of our poor housekeepers instead.
Three people in my year at primary school have died by their own hand. The particularly unusual thing is that all three were girls/women; one at 16, one at 20, and one at 26.
I wasn't close to any of them, but I was rifling through my old stuff when visiting my mother not long ago and found a photo from Grade 5 with all three of them in the photo. That was pretty bloody sobering, poor girls.
This was harmless US mainstream TV in the 90s.
Its ridiculous and disgusting.
Learning should be an enjoyable and relaxing experience.
There is NOTHING that you can do or not do scholastically in year 9/10/11 (or even 12 tbh) that will permanently damage your future.
If you miss an assignment or fail a test it will have zero impact on the rest of your life.
(Apologies raskolnikov but I speak the truth)
The bullying is the big issue for mine. In my schooling the schools were next to useless in dealing with it. It was the same old cycle. Report it, meeting with assistant principal, stops for two weeks, starts up again and repeat the cycle. In the end you go whats the point of reporting it.Suicide isn't talked enough in your professions but its literally never talked about at schools. (From my experiences at 3 schools in Melbourne) Schools are known and are breading grounds for mental health issues. The stress and expectations put on teenagers is too much. That on top of whatever is happening at school is a deadly combination. This stigma, this lack of knowledge, this lack of recourses resulted in the death of my friend. She was only 14. It's an indescribable feeling that feeling of loss, hopelessness. It's terrible.
A single conversation can save a life.
On a sort of side-topic, has anyone heard of the Aokigahara forest in Japan? It's reportedly the biggest suicide hotspot in the world. It's a fascinating, beautiful yet terrifying place from the documentary I watched by Vice (I'll link it bellow in a spoiler but be warned the content is fairly graphic). Reportedly 200 people commit suicide there every single year. It's a terrifying place but some of the most beautiful yet sad scenery that I have ever seen.
Until recently it was relatively unknown until it was blown into the medias eye when a YouTuber filmed a dead body in an extremely disrespectful way.
I would highly recommend watching if you have time, the scientist who talks about it does an amazing job.
I’m glad things improved for you in year 9.Yeah, that was the same problem I was having throughout year 6,7 and 8 I had zero real friends. It's a terrible place to be mentally. The exact same thing with the bullying, the school doesn't give a s**t about you.
Also that last line really reminded me of the Queen song Radio Ga Ga
I boted earlier and it got my 5Of course!
I like that Freddie is back in vogue.
That was always that great thing about Freddie, in the 80's he could get a bunch of blokes who would recoil at meeting a real life NTTAWWTter wearing t-shirts with Queen proudly emblazoned on them while standing in thrall to a Tom of Finland clone gyrating on stage. He always hid in plain sight, that the PG version of his life introduces him to a new generation of fans is kinda fitting.It’s not the Freddie that I recall reading all about in my pop magazines from the 70’s - he was a bad bad boy
I got into Queen because when I was a kid in the late 90's We Will Rock You got played a lot.I like that Freddie is back in vogue.
Never heard of the 'seven and stand down' policy, but I suppose it would make sense to have such a policy.I was told after seven hits drivers are supposed to stand down. For some reason one guy racked up 13 and went off the rails (pardon the pun).

I copped it from start to just about finish. Ended up with very few friends as a result. Spent year 6 without a single friend, I brought in a walkman radio and listened to that.

There is a park down the end of the street a lady l knew son hung himself in the tree only in the park.
Their house was just across the road you could see the tree from their front door.
One thing l couldn't understand they stayed in the house for years after.
Anyway the mother hung herself last year (l think).ln one of the childrens bedroom.

Hard to speak for Majak Daw’s case because in the eyes of many blokes his life looks pretty good. Paid big bucks do play a game a great deal of Australian men fantasise about playing professionally since they were 6.
As they say, Money doesn't buy happiness.
