When we see famous people like Robin Williams commit suicide, we are deeply heartbroken. But what some of us do not realize is that many other people are committing suicide each day. Why do we value celebrities’ lives more than a “regular” person’s? It seems nowadays, we only care about the celebrities who’s lives are lost. In this way, do all lives really have the same value?
Suicide
Keeping Up With Danny: Be Yourself?!?!?!?!
Nowadays, it’s common for people to say “be yourself” and “be unique”. But I have one question. How? I know this might seem like an easy question to answer, but hear me out. How do you be yourself without being ridiculed. People say “oh you just want attention”. When you blend in, people say you are boring. So can we really be ourselves nowadays without being hurt? It’s so tempting to blend in or stand out, but there are so many consequences to that.

Keeping Up With Danny: Watch Your Mouth!
This is related to my last post. If you have not seen it, here’s the link: https://iamdannynguyen.wordpress.com/2015/02/07/keeping-up-with-danny-suicide/ Why don’t people think before they speak? We have made it so acceptable to say “go kill yourself” and other things like “you’re worthless” or “piece of sh*t”, and this makes me so sick. Why don’t people think before they speak? This world would be such a better place if they did. It’s absolutely unacceptable. People actually commit suicide because of the power of words. People need to learn that your words have lots of power and that everything you do has a consequence. I can not stress this enough, and if they do not take it seriously, many more will kill themselves.

Keeping Up With Danny: Suicide
So yesterday, I was in a groupchat with several friends, and suddenly, one of my friends said “kill yourself”. This hit me hard personally because I tried to commit suicide because of people saying “go kill yourself”.
Why do we make “go kill yourself” and “i wanna kill myself” so acceptable to say? We make it so casual to say now. I’m with freedom of speech, but there is a line between freedom of speech and verbal abuse. What you say matters. Always think before you speak and know that there are consequences with every single action, from taking a step out the door to saying “kill yourself”. People kill themselves over three simple words. Watch your mouth.

Keeping Up With Danny: Speaking out on Rumors
There are so many people in this world, some sincere and some who aren’t. That’s just how life works, and it’s up to you to deal with it or let it get in your way, and this is my way of dealing with it. I hate writing, so I thought I would do it here.
Rumor #1: I’m worthless. Nobody is worthless, just priceless. How can you put a price on a life? Any life?
Rumor #2: I’m a “faggot” 1. This is disrespectful to gay people. 2. Just because I do not listen to your music and I use twitter, Instagram, etc makes me one?
Rumor #3 I’m stupid. Just because I do not understand some things does not mean I am stupid. This is extremely rude and disrespectful. Just because you are in an honors class and I am not does not mean you are smarter. There are countless things you do not learn in a textbook.
These are some rumors made up about me and I hate that people actually believe them. I am not the only one to have rumors spread about them. Some people have committed suicide because of these silly rumors. But remember, those rumors will not make up your entire life. There are countless happy experiences waiting for you. No one should result to suicide because of a rumor. I pray for those gullible people.
Message to people who believe any rumors: Why don’t you figure things out for yourself instead of going to others for information?
