Kate Bornstein\'s Hello Cruel World (Lite)

The 4-page excerpt of Kate Bornstein\'s \"Hello Cruel World: 101 Alternatives to Suicide for Teens, Freaks and Other Outlaws.\"

\"FEEL FREE TO COPY THIS FOR WHOEVER YOU THINK COULD USE A COPY. KISS KISS, KATE
You’re better off alive, no matter how messed up you think you might be right now.
And you’re better off alive no matter how mean someone is being to you. You are
simply better off alive than dead—no matter who or what you are, no matter who
or what you love, and no matter what you do. Just don’t be mean. Being mean never
works. Never. So that’s the only rule I can think of that’s worth following in life:
don’t be mean. Yes, you can be mean to yourself if that’s what’s going to keep you
alive. I’m sorry if that’s happening to you. But keep in mind that there are
alternatives that hurt a lot less, and I hope you find one soon. Do what you have to
do, and stay alive because it gets better. I promise. xoxo Kate\"

Comes with a printable Get Out of Hell Free card on the first page.

If you are ever in a place where you want to kill yourself, as long as you follow Kate\'s one rule of \"Don\'t be mean,\" you can do whatever you want if it makes you stay alive.
