In recent news 20 year old R&B singer Kehlani attempted suicide after a horrendous scandal between her and singer PartyNextDoor, went public.
PartyNext Door posted the following picture with the caption “After all her Shenanigans, still got the R&B singer back in my bed.”
His followers and fellow Kehlani fans immediately rioted and stormed Twitter with memes. Less than a month ago the singer was seen with Cleveland Cavaliers player Kyrie Irving on the sidelines supporting her man. It is paradoxical to say the least. After all the fans found out about the scandal they took it upon themselves to make negative remarks and argue who was right and who was in the wrong. Kehlani was called things like “whore” and “player.” The next day the artist attempted suicide.
She posted the following picture to speak out about how she is in fact an average person and feels the need for people to understand that she has real world problems and stress.
Suicide is the 10th leading cause of death in America according to the CDC and save.org. As well as depression affecting 20-25% of Americans 18+ years and older a year. Suicide is not a cry for help or a topic of discussion to be taken lightly. It is a permanent decision that cannot be taken back.
Yes, it takes the person away from the things that are affecting them in life but they are also ending their own lives and what the positivity that they can bring to this world. It is important to build positive relationships with people who will keep you going and highlight the value of your life.
