I tried to kill myself twice, once when I was 14 and again when I was 17. I am now 23 and am grateful for my life every time I remember what I almost did. Don't take yourself out of the game early; you might just miss your big chance. I am still addicted and scared sometimes but other times I am happy, hopeful, successful, and so alive. It's worth it to live and see how it all plays out. Everyone dies; the really rare thing is to be able to live now as a human being with the ability to reflect on your life and take it into your own strong and remarkable hands.
