What were they thinking?

by Ian on Oct.07, 2009, under Miscellaneous

The news by my radio brought information that two girls had jumped of Erskine bridge, and died, if you do that mid span it is a long drop. A certain death plunge. As my mind contemplated this tragedy, and I wondered, what did they think, contemplate, discuss on that hours walk from their care home to the bridge?

Did these young vulnerable kids discuss the prospect of a hereafter? did their minds baulk at what if I can’t do it? did they think of the thoughts of those connected to them and left behind? and was it “told you so” or what? I have so many questions from this news item, nae tragedy that I am left in bewilderment , determined to die, what were those last hours like as they walked to the bridge?

For whatever they discussed it was no deterrent.

    Some are falling to find death performing the new-styled sports plunges, but this was not the case as I far as I can conclude of the matter. The sin of suicide … what’s the background – anything got revealed? maybe some emo-coined influences when they got soul broken, or a threat?
