Historically, various states listed the act as a felony, but all were reluctant to enforce it. By 1963, six states still considered attempted suicide a crime (North and South Dakota, Washington, New Jersey, Nevada, and Oklahoma that repealed its law in 1976). By the early 1990s only two US states still listed suicide as a crime, and these have since removed that classification. In some U.S. states, suicide is still considered an unwritten "common law crime," as stated in Blackstone's Commentaries. As a common law crime, suicide can bar recovery for the family of the suicidal person in a lawsuit unless the suicidal person can be proven to have been "of unsound mind." That is, the suicide must be proven to have been an involuntary, not voluntary, act of the victim in order for the family to be awarded money damages by the court. This can occur when the family of the deceased sues the caregiver (perhaps a jail or hospital) for negligence in failing to provide appropriate care. Some legal scholars look at the issue as one of personal liberty. According to Nadine Strossen, former President of the ACLU, "The idea of government making determinations about how you end your life, forcing you...could be considered cruel and unusual punishment in certain circumstances, and Justice Stevens in a very interesting opinion in a right-to-die raised the analogy. The rate of teenage suicide in the United States remains comparatively high in the 15 to 24 age group with 3,971 suicides in 2001 and over 132,000 suicide attempts in 2002, making it the third leading cause of death for those aged 15 to 24.
Teen Suicide. The first thing that normally comes to your mind when you hear or read about something like this would be, "Why?" And then you'd probably call them stupid, but something people have to realize is that everyone is not the same. Everyone is not treated the same. Everyone doesn't feel the same. Everyone doesn't go through the same things you might go to or handle it the same for that matter. So for you to call or say that something is stupid is closed-minded and unfair. You have to understand the circumstances that those people go through. Most causes of teen suicide are: disharmony in the family, unhealthy or abusive relationship or break-up, alcohol or drug abuse, feelings of anger and guilt, physical or mental disorders, poor academic performance, sibling rivalry, history of suicide within close circle, experience of a personal loss, peer pressure, and the inability to handle hardships due to low energy and depression.
People think that depression and suicidal thoughts can be cured by using "happy pills" and/or counseling, which is not always or necessarily the case because you can’t cure it unless you get over or solve your reasons of being depressed, not covering it up with pills and counseling.
I can’t believe attempted suicide used to result in a felony. I believe in natural rights, which should include that you belong to yourself, your body and mind. I believe it’s not right for the government to make laws that restrict you from doing what you want with your life. So I’m glad that most states didn’t enforce it. And I agree with Nadine Strossen.
In my opinion, the rate of suicide has been increasing because of several factors. Have you turned on the T.V? Listened to the radio? Heard the gossip going around school, going around anywhere? Have you surfed the internet? Society today, I think, is just pressure on teens. Pressure but in a way people don’t sometimes see. For example, I know you guys have seen this before, another student in your school isn’t “up to date” on the latest fashion or he/she can’t afford it, or that student isn’t really skinny, or that student wears glasses, and he/her classmates are talking about them, verbally abusing them(calling them names among other things), and just brutally “bashing” them. How do you think he/she feels? Do you ever stop them from continuing? Or do you just laugh and watch from the side lines? I know your probably saying, “No, I tell them to stop.” Or “I wouldn’t do that.” But be serious. Though you may be saying that, you know you have. And this person being “bashed” just feels horrible. I know because I used to be that person. And because of that I now have low self-esteem and confidence, and I used to be suicidal. It’s just the pressure of wanting to fit in, to be cool, or whatever. It’s like it’s somehow programmed into others brain that tells them that you have to be this way or that way to be pretty or beautiful or handsome and when you don’t fit in to that, people tend to notice whether it be in a good way or not. Teen suicide is the result to that. And I really dislike for people to say something is stupid because they don’t understand it and they don’t take the time to actually understand it.

once there was a guy
almost the only one to capture my heart
(only two have succeeded thus far)
he was Very sweet and there was just something about him i couldn’t resist
but Although he stole my heart, it must beat without him
Lately i’ve been wondering, maybe it could be him
i used to see Everything
but i Never see him anymore
atleast not like the other Times
I feel as though maybe he’s still here
just wondering through the Night as he used to
or maybe he’s just Everywhere
not limited to one place
but all of them
i can’t tell anymore
so confusing he is, as he always was

The Courage I Never Had
I never thought I’d have the courage to say
I love you to my crushes face
always staring into the glare of your eye
wondering what caught your eye
I never thought I’d have the courage to say
I was done with you
done with all the lies you told
done with my heart you stole
I never thought I had the love to give
to such a person who hated to live
a person who was afraid of life
and what it could do
you would and could have took your life away
but I stood and told you not to give away
you told me you loved me
I thought that was true
then I saw what your kind of love could do
you took my love and my life
now your life is gone as well
I hope you go down to hell
you told me you'll never hurt me
I thought that was true too
and I believed you like a fool
now I’m here in this bright place
hearing voices as I moved from place to place
I don’t know why, but I feel home
I feel the love you once gave
I feel the love I want to give
I feel the thrive to go on
I feel the courage to love you again
I feel the courage I never had
lol... i can't rhyme... and i know its kind of cheasy but remember i woke up in the middle of the night, and thats just what makes it awesome... lol...

i saw that Sha'Ron had put a post about love an it remined me of a post that i did 2 summers ago-june10 to be exact- and put on my myspace-which i abandoned, lol.
love is when you miss him before he's gone
when you crave to hear his voice when your away
when you can't think of anything else but him
when your with him nothing else matters
when you talk to him you feel you can tell him any and everything
you feel like he's your world and your the luckiest one in it
and when you lose him you dont want to let go
you want to hold on to what little of him you have left
you think that even tough your apart that he stll loves you
but you don't know why he would cause you such pain
you never want to let im go
even though he broke your ♥

Lol... Ok, so I'm on the computer this one day right, and one of my freinds IM me and we talk for a minute. Then she's all, "Hey, Naomi you gotta check out these videos, the guy is like so cute and has the cutest accent." And then I'm all like, "Ok sure, what the heck? Why not?" And then she sends me a youtube link. And then I click on it. But this isn't the vid that she sent me, I thought it had at least something to do with blogging... So... yup...

Lol, I think genes are an awesome thing when it comes to my parents. I think they are so cool and laid back, plus they're gypsies... meaning they dont like to be tied down to one place-if you didn't know. My dad was a skater and my mom was pretty much almost like me-wears alot of black and ws a skate betty.. lol.. but when she was forced to do beauty pageants she'd be the only one wearing a black dress... lol.. she's cool. she's filipino, if your wondering and my dad is african-american. so i guess i get the way i dress from them and of course my looks, everyone says i look just like my mums... i'm free flowy, down to earth, a romanticist*sp*, realist, and optimistic... sometimes.. lol.. i dont like to be trapped or restricted or stuck in one place, just like my parents-except i dont think they're romanticists*sp*... i've moved about 5 times in the last six, seven, eight years maybe.. and i'm about to move again so you probably wont see me next semester, but who knows.. anything can happen... and i love adventure and going to new places, but i dont know about meeting new people-that one i'm not good at... im too timid and shy.. until i warm up to you, of course. my parents used to own a store in little 5 points called Soul Kiss, i loved that store to death. they had imported goods fom morocco, india, asia, africa... all over the world... but unfortunately, the economy when down and we hd to give it up, it is now criminal records... but now they do it gypsy style... lol
