Michelle Carter, You Deserve To Rot In Prison

The human life is precious and we need to take a stand and help someone in pain, not push them over the edge.

Upon recent events, a girl from Massachusetts by the name of Michelle Carter encouraged her boyfriend Conrad, to kill himself. She sent him dozens of texts helping him plan his suicide out as well as conducting on how he should do it. Recently she was charged 15 months of jail time for involuntary manslaughter... are you kidding me?

This girl new how much of a bad place he was in. She knew he was in pain and needed help. Yet, she continued to push him over the edge even more. She manipulated him into thinking its the only thing he can do. What person in their right mind would think that suicide is the only option? She deserves so much more time than what she is getting, but see that's the thing. Our justice system is so corrupt. A rapist by the name of Brock Turner, gets out of jail in 6 months, because his dad tells the judge he couldn't mentally take it. Are you serious? Who gives a crap about how he feels, shouldn't we all imagine how that poor girl feels? But that's another story, for another time.

Michelle was his girlfriend, she is supposed to be their for him, comfort him, help him, not convince him to kill himself! This girl stripped him from his happiness, fed him absurd ideas about how the world was better off without him and encouraged him to harm himself. That alone would've killed anyone's will to live. Instead, she should of encouraged him to live, to not end his beautiful life. She could have been the only one to save him yet, she was the only one to push him over the edge.

He was trying to back out several times because he was scared, he at one point wanted to continue to live. Until Michelle continues to manipulate his mind and lower his self-esteem to the point where he doesn't feel wanted. Her words were clear and present danger. She continued to convince him and pressure him to go forward with it. Her words pushed him over the edge and those words caused another person physical harm.

Screw more jail time, she needs to be sent to a mental institution and maybe she will learn that words do more damage than others realize. From what I see, this girl is mentally messed up if she thinks what she did was okay. You helped an innocent man take his own life, how is that anywhere close to okay?

Michelle mentally abused him to the point he couldn't take it. If you ask me, she deserves life in prison. She helped take the life of an innocent person, whether he did it on his own will or not. He didn't want to do it at one point until she pushed him to do it. That's immoral and she deserves so much more than what she got.

The human life is precious and we need to take a stand and help someone in pain, not push them over the edge. The whole point of #suicideawareness is to be AWARE and to help that person! You did neither. You took a life and I hope you rot in prison for it. Michelle, you bullied him, you broke him down, and you helped take his life. Its about time you and everyone else realize that words do more damage than anyone realizes.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead.

You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?

Finals week is upon us. It is a magical time of year during which college students everywhere flock to the library in attempt to learn a semester's worth of knowledge in only a week.
