Hey Loy :)

My name is XYZ and I'm a Student from OOEHS. 

I must say, your video on the boy who suicided was exceptional. It made me cry because a week ago, that would've been me. My exams were starting  on Sunday and I was beginning to feel the pressure. I decided to suicide on Saturday when my mom went out for this religious event. The only reason I didn't do it is because my relative was at home. 

I don't know if you're reading this. I don't even know why I'm telling you this. Perhaps it's because I've never had anyone to confide in. 

You're probably thinking that this is just another girl with an identity crisis. But believe me, it's not. I've never been appreciated. I've been called fat and ugly by my parents and relatives every time. On my religious festival, I was so scared to let anyone see me, so I sneeked out and stood outside in a dark corner where I couldn't be seen.

My parents want me to be a engineer so badly that they're pushing me into writing the entrance exam. I've always wanted to do Arts,  but it's not a "well-paid" job according to them. I know they just want the best for me, but it's driving me insane. 

I'm incapable of studying Science as a stream,  and my teachers aren't doing a very good job of motivating me either. 

Your video was brilliant but the thing that worries me most is that not everyone's as lucky as you. You got your shit together and now you're living the dream. But it's not applicable to everyone else. 

I'm not saying I still don't consider suiciding, but for the time being, I've dropped the idea.

Thank you for reading/ignoring this message. All I needed was to tell someone how I feel. I don't expect you to read this incredibly long message or reply to it either, but just.....Thank you :)
