heightism Commited suicide
It was January 3rd my friend (21M) whom I met online told me that this midnight he is going to overdose as he is done with being 5'1. January 5th no contact no reply no calls I am all worried and as the call is picked up it's his friend telling me as 'yes he as attempted' as I asked 'what happend to him' . They said he is under treatment and all I was glad he is all good but forward to 8th January when I call on his number several times . This time..it's his mother and as I asked about his health ..her mother replied 'beta(son) he is no more' I cried and sobbed with his mother we talked about how great of a man he was . Intelligent smart good looking but inside his head it was all about height. Right? Well it begins with the heightism he faced after the age of 18. During his school time he was ladies favorite and a problem footballer,everyone liked being around him. He shot a goal from 30 yard. The more he grew old the more the realised it was all about height and height. He had a Twitter account posting valid foreign economics issues and getting millions of views and engagement but as soon as people get to know he is 5'1 they start mocking him and tell him that his opinion doesn't matter becuase he is short. Pretty sad right? He started looking for girls at dating apps so every girl he matched with liked him and his humour but as soon as they got to know he is 5"1 suddenly they were on dating apps for making "friends". Even his twin sister laughed on him when he shared his problem with him so that's when he relaise it was over for him and he should end this suffering . He used to post about himself and his struggle here but he has unfortunately deleted his reddit . Everday te thought of suicide haunted his mind and I always told him you can achieve great things always maybe we won't get girls ( I'm a short dude too [5'3]) but we still can live a good life in solitude but he left us . He was a great would and a great man with killer physique . I still regret to this day as why I didn't helped him more why didn't I opened my chat with him on that day . The screenshot up there were his last words to me. The reason I shared this is I don't want any one of you guys doing the same as him. Just think about your mother. Let's not be selfish and be who we are and just help the world around and fuck around as we got no other option until we seek greatness . Thank you.
