Scootaloo's note

Dear Rainbow Dash,

If you are reading this, please know this is not your fault. I did this of my own accord, and I want you to know thank you for helping me realize I was worthless.

Love, Scootaloo

Rainbow Dash scanned the note as she sat in the hospital chair. She flapped her wings. Scootaloo had thought she was worthless because of her. She dropped the not, putting her head down. Why had she said what she had said? It had just slipped out, she never intended for this to happen.

Rainbow Dash looked up as the nurse trotted in. She immediately zoomed toward her, going so fast she collided with her. The potted plant on her head was shaken off as Rainbow Dash and Nurse Redheart slowly got to thekr hooves. "Well, how is she? Is she going to be all right? Let me see her!" A bombardment of questions was hit upon the nurse as she shook the dirt out of her mane.

"We can't tell. Both od her frontal arteries were severed. She is very weak. You're lucky to have gotten to her when you did. As for seeing her, thats out of the question." The nurse calmly replied. She was quite used to having been bombarded with questions like this. She was the longest worker their besides the doctor.

Rainbow Dash zoomed past her, crashing through the glass and into Scootaloo's room. Miraculously, she hadn't tripped over the expensive equipment. "Scootaloo!" She cried. "Can you hear me? Scootaloo!"

Scootaloo slowly opened her eyes. "Rainbow D-Dash? But, I-i made sure I would die." Rainbow's eyes widened as Scootaloo reached out a hoof and pulled thd I.V. out of her skin. Rainbow tried to stop her, but it was too late, Scootaloo was dying.

"Come on, go in." She said as she tried to fit the I.V. in. But it was too late. Scootaloo's blood loss was too much, and without the I.V. Scootaloo's eyes closed slowly, a smile on her face. Peace at last.

What people who commit suicide don't seem to understand is that they are robbing those who care about them from them. It's a sad thing that springs from selfishness.

[Dusk Melody]

What judgemental people fail to understand is people who are driven to attempt suicide often feel like there is no other recourse, that their life has hit such a rock bottom that they have absolutely nothing to live for, and are nothing but a burden on others.
Depression that leads to suicide is a very real illness, and it won't be solved by calling these poor people selfish. We are ill, not selfish.

[Magic Song]

I don't think anyone was trying to be judgemental here. What both of you say is true.
