Kids cry for help. Children as young as 8 commiting suicide. RIP
Posted on 08. Dec, 2011 by Young Parents Guide.
After 10 year old Ashlynn Conner & 10 year old Jasmine McClain recently committed suicide because of being bullied, i started researching other similar cases & found that these precious children had more than just being bullied in common. Almost all of them chose the method of hanging. So I ask u why are so many of our children hanging themselves? What makes a child as young as 8, 9, & 10 feel so hopeless & helpless that they just give up? This is so sad & i hope after watching this video u will talk to your children about the dangers of picking on someone & how hurtful words can be. & if their the ones being picked on that it will get better & protect your child at all cost! If the school wont do nothing about it go over the principals head & if that dont work go to the radio & press! Im serious if we dont start standing up for these wounded souls then it will only get worse!

Shakur wrote the song when he read a newspaper article about a twelve-year-old girl who got pregnant from her cousin and, because she didn’t want her parents to know about the baby, threw it in a trash can. The opening consists of a duet singing the songs title repeatedly. Much of the rest of the song is one long verse performed by Tupac. The verse begins with him telling a group that he has heard about Brendas pregnancy. He also notes that the girl has had virtually no education in her life, having only barely obtained minimal skills in writing, and calls this a “damn shame”, criticizing and has little hope in life. Her family is very poor, and her father is a heroin addict. Brenda is impregnated by her unnamed boyfriend, who is her cousin, but she is successfully able to hide her pregnancy. Tupac explains that it wouldnt matter to …
