This is a message for you. Even though there are times when you may feel as if no one cares, as if there's no point in you caring, and that there's no hope, we here at the WCRPF want you to #staystrong. There is always another solution, always another day. No matter what, the sun keeps on coming up. Every day, the sun rises and gives you another chance to keep going. You can and will rise above this. Nobody wants to see someone go through the pain of being suicidal. Of feeling alone. You are not alone. We are all here. We are here to listen. We are here to support. Although it may not seem like it, we care, even if we don't know you. That is the power of the human race. Its ability to care about individuals who are unrelated to the subject's life is one of its greatest assets. So when you feel sad, angry, or as if there is no one left in this world, look at this page. Look at all of the people who took time out of their day to support you despite possibly not even knowing you. Look at all of the people rallying behind you.
To all of you reading this, this is a call for action. I'd like to start a #staystrong movement here on the forums. Whether that be in support of someone who is suicidal, struggling against violence and discrimination, or just someone trying to find themselves, it means something. It's not hard. All it takes is leaving a message down below and sticking #staystrong in your signature or status.
This is the place to share your story, make a dedication, remind people that you care, or a combination of all of those things. Don't hesitate. People who are looking at this thread might just feel a glimmer of hope looking at your own story and message. Nobody can walk alone in this life. If a person's people must be a group of strangers on a children's forum, then so be it. It doesn't matter. Support is support, no matter where it comes from.
I'll close this with a song that I think is appropriate. To all of you who feel lost in this life,

Messages & Stories By leaving a message and/or sharing your story, you also pledge to put #staystrong in your signature or status in support of those in need of support, whether that be because of suicidal thoughts, violence/discrimination, or just a feeling of being lost in life.BleakI'll contribute, (oh god, I'm actually crying right now) I've had a hard past two years, pertaining to a lot of family issues that in turn, made my grades suffer. It was a bleak (yes, I chose to call myself bleak to remember) time and I kept wanting to die. My grades were suffering, my best friend and brother had abandoned me, my sister had an infant and marriage issues. All of that at once, I was almost enough to make me snap. But then, I joined the forums (the old ones) and started listening to Hollywood Undead. And for the first time in a while, I felt loved, comforted and wanted. Thank you. The dark thoughts are still around to this day, but have lessened and I slowly learned to move on. Today, I'm a college student striving to earn a 2 year degree and start living. Basement CatI try to look at it logically. So a person feels like nobody else cares, and that there is no point to life. And it is true. Life is meaningless. We are simply minuscule specks in this multiverse. However, that doesn't mean anything either. Humans are fortunate, as we are able to understand and comprehend things more than any other creature on earth. We posses the means to do so. And so, we humans assign our own meaning to our existence. The universe doesn't care, but we do. On a smaller scale, the little things we do daily have an impact on others around us. You may have had the worst day, then some truck driver smiles at you and helps you with your groceries just to be nice. Humans are not objective. We are biased, and made up of great good and evil. And all it takes, is one person. So even if just one person in the world thinks we matter...isn't that enough?

Bleak Basement Cat Thank you for your messages Don't forget to add #staystrong to your sigs or statuses. I'll pass on the adding of the hashtag, if you don't mind. Partly because I am, and never will be strong and I'm crying again while typing this

Partly because I am, and never will be strong and I'm crying again while typing this It's supposed to be in support of everyone out there who is struggling, to show that we are behind them. I won't force you, but it would be appreciated.

I won't force you, but it would be appreciated. I do understand what the hashtag represents, but I kinda don't feel....worthy? I can't be a hypocrite and say "be strong" when I can't keep my emotions under control over math. I dunno, I may change my mind when I've collected some sanity back. I'm a bit of a mess right now

This is a Steven Universe song, but I feel like it'll help someone out. It's pretty and has a good message.
