Possibly the worst thing I've ever done

Anyone seen the movie “Flatliners”? As a kid, we teased a girl who later suicided. When I was 12-14, (seventh-eigth grade) there was a girl in our class who was generally unpopular. She was a bit shy and basically quite unattractive. I was also having social problems at the time, and our school was very cliquey - you were either “in” or “out”. I was on the borderline at that point. Anyway, at some point, probably in eigth grade, I made up the nickname “Frieda” for this girl. It was based on the Aussie movie “Puberty Blues” where there is a character called “Frieda the Moll” who is generally disliked but has sex with all the guys. I was being a smart-arse and trying to get myself ahead by treading on those weaker than me, which I know is despicable (there may have been an element of that even in the nickname - when you watch the movie, you feel a lot of sympathy for Frieda and despise those who mock her). Anyway, the most popular girl in the class picked up on the name and encouraged others to tease her with it. I didn’t do much of the teasing, but I certainly was reponsible in having coined the name. At the end of eighth grade the girl left our school. Her brother was in the year below us at our school, and I guess I heard of her now and again. It doesn’t seem she fared that much better socially at her new school. A couple of years later (at the end of tenth grade), we heard that she had jumped off a cliff. Most of us were overseas on a school trip, so we only got the details later when we came back. There were rumours that her Dad always gave her a hard time, calling her ugly and useless and perhaps physically abusing her. I have no way of knowing if that is in the least bit true. Because I was o/s, I missed the funeral etc. and I have always felt that I have at the very least some contributary responsibility to her death. I don’t actually expect forgiveness, as those I need to ask it from are her and her family, and because death is so final, forgiveness is not really an option. I guess I will just always feel terrible about this, and so I should.

I I I ME ME ME that's all I see. self proclaimed superiority I am full of guilt and shame. I should be so much more . I have been given so many opportunities, and I piss in their face. I am never satisfied. I have been happy, truly, genuinely, first reactionary, happy twice. I'm no fool. These thought processes are recognized, and purposely counterweighted with false positivity. A doctor would give me drugs. I will give myself what they call drugs. I'll help you out brother. If your eyes could only see the nights sky as it was intended, as it actually is, not a washed out reflection of man made energies, then we surely would not be discussing such a depressing topic. If you lived with the drive that drove our ancestors to survive, not thrive, you would know yourself, not wholly but more.

For what is the point if it isn't to feel good and good and good then better and better and better then great then great all while spreading disease of infinite disappointment(joy). Be willing to accept the fact that everything learned, everything shared with the world today, could be false. No respect to those who do not. However unlikely, we must accept that COULD be wrong. This will free us, such as it did, and will. The answer to the question you are asking now, RIGHT NOW, THIS VERY MOMENT IN THIS CURRENT TIME...IS.... Yes. I am.would you be willing to accept the fact that everything you have learned, everything you have shared with the world today, could in fact be false? I don't respect anyone who can not admit that.
