Have a lovely weekend, MC.<br /><br />♥namaste♥Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16128247878961221421noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16472085.post-2537454409735120332010-10-22T07:06:23.072-06:002010-10-22T07:06:23.072-06:00I agree.

But I doubt that these kids who commit suicide are thinking intellectually about becoming a news/media piece.<br />Like you, I always just dealt with it and stood my ground.dAAvehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10378341182741173178noreply@blogger.com
