Just Want to Die
Hey, I'm 18 years old and just want to end my life, I'm just bad luck. I've seen 2 of my mates die in front of me and 2 mates get blown up in Afghanistan. Then all I had left was my girlfreind we been together for 4 years and now she has left me. I really just want to die and I am so close to doing it.
