Hearing erika kirk say 'I just want to go home' doesn't move me because those were likely the last words of hundreds of school children who never made it home because unlike her they didn't have a security detail.

Three days ago, a 15-yr old boy had an anxiety attack in the school bathroom to hide from his bullies and struggling grades.
His “guidance” counselor pulled him into a room alone and told him to power thru and stop saying he was suicidal for attention even tho he was crying so hard the capillaries in his face were broken. Fun fact: the boy has never been in trouble nor has said this before.
The boy is now in the hospital an hour away from his family due to a real attempt to leave this world.
Because the school would not listen all year nor accommodate his mother’s requests for help and a 504 plan, he felt he had no hope and could not face another day.
The boy is my son. And I’m so angry at the GC in his school I’m frozen. They’re now complying to help with classes and gave him a new counselor.
These new accommodations are not enough. Our story isn’t rare. Schools need to wake up and make some real changes.
last month i called 911 on myself for feeling suicidal and the bill with insurance is over $2,000. the 15 min "psych evaluation" alone was $400. oh, and they still sent me home that night. it cost me $2k to not take my life. america's healthcare system is so fucked lol
That's why rape is so psychologically damaging. Victims of other crimes can try to soothe themselves with justifications, but rape victims know they were victimized because the perpetrator wanted to, chose to, & derived pleasure from the terror & pain of the victim.
Rape as a crime is so fundamentally different. There can be loose justifications for other crimes, like poverty; even murder can be accidental or in self defense. There has never been & will never be a situation that necessitates or accidentally causes rape. The answer is no.
