I read a book called Its Kind of A funny Story by Ned Vizzini. It’s based on his own life experience as a teenager. So basically he goes to a new school that puts him under a lot of pressure to get good grades, and please him self and family. He ends up just giving up on his life, and gaining clinical depression. He can’t eat or sleep and he has this for a very long time. His friends do drugs, and so does he.

Sooner or later, he has suicide thoughts and plans to kill himself jumping off the Brooklyn Bridge. He calls 1800-suicide and they tell him to go to the hospital. They tell him that he needs to stay with the hospital for a week. He ends up making friends and a girlfriend there who cuts her face because she thinks everyone judges her on her beautiful looks. Once he leaves he has no more depression, and a new prospective on life.


this is a book.
