What if everything we did was recorded, what if your whole life is known too the public, what if the world is watching your every move? Well it is. I'm Maria Jones and this is how a girl helped me realise we ,the world, are throwing our lives away.
It all started last year in primary school with a girl I knew. She came to me everyday with the sweetest grin on her face and ask me if I wanted to talk for a while. I enjoyed our conversations about how her weekends were and if she enjoyed her holidays and things, but I knew she was hiding something.
One day she didn't come to school, after that day, it progressed to weeks, her grin was slowly fading. I asked her to tell me what was wrong and this was her answer 'you realise, were just
suicidal kids telling other suicidal kids, killing yourselves isn't the answer.'
After that I never saw her again, she is now a memory that remains a blur. Years passed and I forgot all about her, then one strange afternoon she walked in the classroom, completely oblivious, like she was here yesterday. Confused, I rubbed my eyes. It didn't make a difference, as I still saw her standing there with that same grin on her face.
