Two Girls - There Stories :
Two Girls - There Stories "LUCY'S STORY”
All I wanted was to die. My sadness was too great for me to bear. I had the pills near me - more than enough to kill myself. Then I realized that was the selfish way out. I would make my family even sadder. Our family had suffered a terrible tragedy. I had to hang on to life. I asked God to help me. Gradually, I found I was changing. Dying wasn't my desire. I couldn't care whether I lived or died. That lasted for a while. Then, one day, I realized I wanted to live. I had everything to live for. That was a wonderful feeling. God had helped me through.“
PARIS STUDENT DIES :
PARIS STUDENT DIES Anne-Laurie, from Paris, left a 13-page suicide letter in her hotel room before throwing herself into the River Thames in London, in April. She wrote, "I am going to kill myself because I have buck teeth. I will fully put an end to my fears and exhaustion. I now only have one fear, to mess it up and wake in a hospital room in more despair."
The policeman, who dealt with the case, said afterwards, "It is a complete mystery to her family and friends why she did this. She had a perfectly normal life in France. You don't know what goes through the minds of young women; they have an image of perfection and take it to the extreme. Her teeth did not stick out much."
