I’m begging the police in charge of social media, that are monitoring the use of social media that we have children between age 10 and 21 that have access to social media. I don’t know when hypo that is meant to bleach toilet, clothes or used to clean our house turned to a drink all in the name of I want to end all, I want to commit suicide, I’m depressed.
“So, if someone is now depressed, the solution is to take their life? I’m urging the police to take action against anyone attempting suicide because all this Gen z has a lot of followers. They are supposed to be role models, not a bad influence. Please I’m begging the police to take action against anyone that comes online all in the name of I want to end it all.
