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.

I think the hardest thing about going away to college is figuring out how to become an adult. Leaving a household where your parents took care of literally everything (thanks, Mom!) and suddenly becoming your own boss is overwhelming. I feel like I'm doing a pretty good job of being a grown-up, but once in awhile I do something that really makes me feel like I'm #adulting. Twenty-somethings know what I'm talking about.

I went to a small high school, like 120-people-in-my-graduating-class small. It definitely had some good and some bad, and if you also went to a small high school, I’m sure you’ll relate to the things that I went through.

1. If something happens, everyone knows about it

Who hooked up with whom at the party? Yeah, heard about that an hour after it happened. You failed a test? Sorry, saw on Twitter last period. Facebook fight or, God forbid, real fight? It was on half the class’ Snapchat story half an hour ago. No matter what you do, someone will know about it.

Chandler Bing

I'm assuming that we've all heard of the hit 90's TV series, Friends, right? Who hasn't? Admittedly, I had pretty low expectations when I first started binge watching the show on Netflix, but I quickly became addicted.

Without a doubt, Chandler Bing is the most relatable character, and there isn't an episode where I don't find myself thinking, Yup, Iam definitely the Chandler of my friend group.

Working with the public can be a job, in and of itself. Some people are just plain rude for no reason. But regardless of how your day is going, always having to be in the best of moods, or at least act like it... right?

1. When a customer wants to return a product, hands you the receipt, where is printed "ALL SALES ARE FINAL" in all caps.

2. Just because you might be having a bad day, and you're in a crappy mood, doesn't make it okay for you to yell at me or be rude to me. I'm a person with feelings, just like you.

3. People refusing to be put on hold when a customer is standing right in front of you. Oh, how I wish I could just hang up on you!
