Suicide Note

This piece is very powerful and moving. The introduction starts the reader off with the conclusion of this story and sets the tone for the entire piece. This note is really saddening, to learn about this girls story and her thinking behind her suicide is (I hate to say it but) disgusting. To read this and to read her apology to her parents it really makes ones skin crawl. To see someone take their life because she had not felt she had pleased her parents fully and had achieved to the standards set before her. The guilt that this young woman feels is truly unreasonable yet in her mind no doubt it was reason enough to take her life. After reading the note it seems that she has felt that she had disappointed her parents, so much to the effect of wishing death upon herself. To see someone who feels so worthless and so strongly in the wrong for failing to get perfect scores in school, not being born a man, not being smart enough or strong enough is truly depressing. So she has come to the conclusion that death is inevitable. It is truly puzzling at least for me why someone would feel this way, was it self driven or was it all the pressure that her parents had put on her? Either way it is very sad to read this piece and know that afterwards she killed herself.
