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.

mum is losing it up stairs. I have noticed it for a while now just like my dad who has a alcohol picked brain - mostly from the anger of his business failing and people never giving him jobs and all the jobs he applied for he has in dozens of folders and no one would give him a job, you can't even see his bedroom floor for his hoarding addiction and he needs to clean the recyclable rubbish bin fanaticly and all the recyclable things like a complete tard! every bit of rubbish is kept under his wing he holds his rubbish like a child with a safety blanket. I am worried my mum is going senile, I know my father is but mum is a useless heap of dung. I have always listened to her but she never listened and acted to help me. all she does is fall asleep selfishly like the world is her oyster with her little family tucked in her bed with her and she doesn't think about my needs as a woman or adult and no one has considered my needs they are so selfish. our neighbors little whore daughters and whore wives have been expecting me to live like a pig masturbating objects and sitting in my own piss on the floor for hours and without a husband or children while they have stolen them just because a selfish old grandfather won a lotto all of less then half a million dad was denied a job, I was denied jobs and husband and a house of my own. I seen all of $2,000 I payed for a retail pharmacy course that was never going to get me a job anyway. as if anything could? as if any man would get off his lazy ass to date me other then a retarted loser like a dishonorable discharged yobo bozo clown like russel who called himself a grunt and everything was "ahhh mate how far did you go from losing it completely today mate with your depression and anxiety and pstd?" 10 years of that was torture you were my depression I never wanted your friendship or to have anything to do with you at all. even david had more class then ken or rusell or rick. I wanted a nice professional office guy. everywhere I went men ignored me and I know its been a satanic occult doing this to me via relatives and churches that sicken me. you have all made me a ill person for years even before the car accident when I was 19. you all worked so hard to ruin my life.
