Ignorance is wicked sometimes

Good day everyone. just wanna share something. i lost a friend this afternoon. well, she was a sister of a friend, actually but still, she was more of a friend to me. don't know much of how the story went. she was sorta like a black sheep of the family. she always had that different odd opinion concerning family affairs. she was more often the one who was blamed. but above all that, she was an intelligent person. she had excellent grades in school. she was a highschool student, by the way. a sophomore. the past 3 days she ran away from home due to some arguments with his older brother, my friend. her family searched everywhere for her. they even reported her to the police when her friends said she wasn't at their respective places. earlier i joined the search and we found her dead hanging on the ceiling of her previous psychiatrist. turned out she was severely misunderstood by her family. her psychiatrist, amy, told her family everything that had been going on with her. since she wasn't paid anymore, amy didn't tell everyone that my friend, ice, was occasionally visiting her and was telling her about her problems to amy. amy said that there were numerous times that ice wanted to tell her family how sorry she was and how eager she wanted to change her reputation to her family but her parents would just cut her off and that their previous judgement of ice was the one they have stuck with and was the basis for all her behaviors. like there was a time when ice bought a new rug for cleaning their car. amy said that ice's gesture was misunderstood as ice asking to borrow the car instead of just taking it as a kind-hearted gesture from her. there were also times that ice's parents suspected her as performing as a stripper. this whole story is a downer. ice's brother was a long-time friend of mine but i didn't know what exactly was going on with their family. ice is a cool friend but her parent's ignorance made her close herself from them. that explained a lot when she was opening up to me a couple of times. she was telling random stories about a girl and her that girl's family. i had no idea she was referring to herself and she just didn't want to be figured out. and now ice's parents are still crying and i bet it's because of their misake. i'd be glad to read some comments.

Sorry for your loss buddy, they should feel responsible for this unfortunate event that has occurred... if only they took time to actually figure things out and correct any misunderstandings this wouldn't have happened in the first place... poor girl maybe she has been keeping for far too long, the sadness, the feeling of being isolated by her own family, above all it's no other than her own parents... a downer indeed, I really feel sorry for her from the bottom of my heart... Thanks a lot frontdivisions, this story of yours has really opened up a window for me to understand better what's it about by being a parent... I'm not married myself, but what happened here really struck me deep inside, and I wish that this would never happen to my future children.. once again sorry for ur loss my friend, my condolences to you, and thanks for sharing this piece.. :)

I'm really sad to hear about your loss. It's really unfortunate to see young people go like that :(. I won't comment on the story, because I've been through the "black sheep of the family" and it's a bit comment on the situation. Stay strong pal!

Thanks you guys. The main problem here is communication gap. Hell, her parents even suspected her to be stripping in some bar. If we could just take time and talk with our family, this kind of problem won't occur.
