My Son Lost Another Friend Yesterday. Update:

I wrote this story months ago.  Since then, 3 more have died.  We now can blame, drugs, alcohol, FB,  FORMSPRING.ME  and BULLYING.
Let’s be grown ups now. LOOK Closely at your kids.  They may be the vicitm of a bully- they may have witnessed someone else being bullied- or they may just be the BULLY themselves. 
NONE- are acceptable. Open your eyes and Make that Change.
Stop listening to the child say, “Mom, dont’ embarrass me!” That doesnt’ cut it any more.
WE are the parents.
WE make the rules.
Unless- you are a bully or victim yourself.  If so- reach out. We will help.

Seventeen years old. This is the fourth friend he’s lost in the last 5 months of his young life, only 2 killed themselves though, the other’s were drugs or drinking doing stupid things. We live in an affluent area, beautiful homes, parents struggling, clean… even so, drugs and alcohol are everywhere… and parents look the other way.

I’ve been the ‘cool mom.’ I talk to the kids, I tell them to stop, I find ulterior ways to tell their parents so that it doesn’t come back to hurt my son.

It’s ENOUGH. PARENTS! Open your eyes. Stop looking through blinders when it comes to your kids. YES! It’s YOUR KID TOO. I’m just as guilty of blaming everyone else’s kid for my kids’ bad judgement calls. Let me tell you how I know what goes on, and then you’ll know to do the same thing.

Find someone that’s got your kids’ FB password, or find someone that has Friended your kid. Maybe a brother or sister? READ what they’re doing. READ and become educated. THEN you can make a reasonable decision as to how to treat this problem that you didn’t know you had.

I’m watching very closely right now, because it seems that suicide might become ‘a pact’ of sorts…. and I’d rather die myself, then put my head in a hole and not pay attention to what my son is doing.
Wouldn’t you?

Parents! Ready your child's FACEBOOK Threads,
Parents! Ready your child's FACEBOOK Threads,

Suicide- again.
