Julia Buencamino's Last Note Found on Her Tumblr Account Before She Committed Suicide

Please take this down and respect their family's privacy. Their suicide letter is none of your business.

She was one screwed up head case. Best thing for her

It reminds me of the book All the bright places...

For me death can never be cruel but it can be if you decided on it. We all have problems, I'm just so sad cause she didn't end it the way it should be. TT __ TT

Committing suicide will never be a good idea to solve our personal issues. Tho, i respect the letter. But i think she could be more open to her parents. Even if it's not their fault, parents will always think that they are not good enough

What? That letter, or whatever that is, didn't answer any questions to why she committed suicide. Arrrghhh, these teenagers think that their lives are the worst. Think about those people who lost their children, houses, , those people who have nothing,. And this teenager, who I think has a good life, maybe despite some issues, I think she has no right committing suicide when lives of other people are worst.

For a 15 year old, she thinks really.... deep. All I know is she's not your average girl/bi or whatever. I think she's one of those people who thinks wayyyy beyond more than they should.

Ano ba yan. Alam nang kasalanan ang magpakamatay, bat ginawa niya pa rin yun. Natakot sa judgement? Eh sa Diyos takot kaya siya? Sus.

Please take this down

To everyone going through the same situation as Julia was, please please please, don't kill yourselves. Things will always get better. Maybe not now but someday it will. It does get better. I got better. Please have patience.

Judging her wont fix anything. We still don't know the real cause of her death. So if you have anything bad to say, I recommend to just keep it to yourself.

Im a suicidal & we just need someone to talk. Talking with us will remove the pain. Cherish every moment with everyone you love. I just want to help. Sorry if this isnt related to the article.

problem has nothing to do with what you have and what you have not. it is base on how deep it is. sometimes emotional problem is more painful than financial still not a reason to commit such thing, you have family,friend and most of all god to help you why not reach for help from other if you are thinking that you can handle it alone .not everyone know what the best solution is but at least you can get an idea especially an advise that may possibly helps or make you feel comfort that someone cares.

Presence and acceptance and support of friends and families are needed and a must for people going through depression.

If only the parents had introduce God to their children, suicide will never be their option.

..we can only pray for them now. God have mercy on her and the others.. Take care of her soul.. Help the others like her heal and their families. In Jesus name, through the intercession of Mary, Amen.

Have you people lost all decency to not pry into a person's private life? You should remove this in deference to the hurt the family is experiencing. Have you no shame?

I'm curious. How did this post come out? If it was on queue, it means that she might have wanted the world to read this. It will be posted on the set date. If someone did open her account and posted this before that set date then that really is invasion of her privacy. I'll reserve my other thoughts on this if this were answered.

Sa mga taong nagsasabi na tama lang sa kanya ang nangyari o she deserved it, (at idagdag pa ang mga religion related comment para ma-back up ang sinabi niyo), sana mag-isip kayo ng maigi. Hindi kaya kayo din ang dahilan na nagpakamatay siya? Paano kaya kung may kaibigan kayong tulad din ni Julia at nagpakamatay din? Sana isip-isipin niyo yun. Wala akong masamang pangitain sa Katolisismo, naiinis lang ako kung paano ito ginagamit para sabihing tama ang pag-husga sa ibang tao at sa di pag tanggap sa lahat

I always think about suicide.. I have been dealing with my depression since college or even before that.. I would cry a lot and feel so alone literally every single night.. I'm not scared of death but I'm scared of God..so everytime I'll think of it, I pray and ask for forgiveness for even thinking about it..I always consider how my family would feel if I will do it.. I am so tired of being sad but I don't want to be selfish as well..

RIP Julia

Her suicide note was written on Tumblr for us to see!

It takes too much courage for a person to decide on committing suicide. I made an attempt but it failed. After that I just don't want to do it again. I' still battling depression but I told myself to keep fighting to make things better.

Let me get this straight. Has it ever reached your fucking minds that she mght jave had some problems in being transgender?!?! So.. Yeah. I read the comments on people's reaction on Julia's successful suicide attempt and some of those comments disgust me.

I mean, c'mon people. It's hard dealing with the fact that you're transgender. When you were turned into a girl when you were born a boy. They don't even try to figure out the feelings that she had inside!

Who wouldn't fear asking your parents on why they turned you into someone like that in the first place?! She doesn't underdstand how she should feel! It's like a robot not knowing how to function it's own property.

That girl is f*cking crazy.. committed suicide because she was born as a woman.. and not a guy.

reading this makes me sad because she has no one to talk to not even her parents. if she was just able to express herself and she has people to talk to, to share her innermost frustrations maybe just maybe she would not think of taking her own life.

I just don't understand people think about only theirselve. Its selfishness, you have family, friends and specially God. I believed that she still lucky despite of having problems and still normal, think abt those people, who are starve to death, battling for deseases. Taking away ypur life won't solve your problem.

she killed her parents when she took her own life... no father or mother should be burying their child.... whatever her reason she has for her to take her life... it destroyed her mother and her father. this post, her suicide note should be taken down. no one should see this shit because it makes her look weak and and it might give ideas to other fragile teenagers that suicide is the way to go.... this is private and just let it be....

Please, please take this down. :(

There's always light at the end of the tunnel. All problems has solution. Nothing is impossible to God

Some ppl wanted to have her life or even have the life that she had. But she just threw it away. Yah depression can kill i maybe i dnt have the right place to say this bcoz I haven't experienced such.

People who claim to know what God wants and how he judges people should go to hell. If your God is so forgiving, then he'll forgive anyone. Stop cherrypicking your ideals. She died because of ignorant people who judge her based on their ideals (queerphobic, Religious ideals). It's sad that the Philippines claim to be a fun country but it's all ass-backwards. Stop living behind the bible like it makes you a good person. Compassion for people is more important than supposed judgment of God.

Masasabi Ko lng,khit gno man kalaki ang problema mo o khit gano k man ka sobrng stress o depressed
Sna wag nting ka2limutan n hiram lng ang buhay ntin sa Dyos. At lgi nting ta2ndaan n khit ano mang pagsubok ang dumating kpit lng tau Kay GOD wlng imposible.kgaya skin namuhay ako d2 sa jpan as a single mother n ako lng lhat.minsan pkirmdam Ko npa2god n Ko magtrabaho pra mbuhay kmi ng anak ko.pro pag nki2ta ko n mga poon ko sa altar prng my nagsa2bing Kya mo yan kc nandito lng ako lgi sa tbi mo.
So means if you don't have a strong fate to GOD
You become a weak person.
Kya dasal lng po tau Plage.....

Y can't you guys see it. For real are you guys that judgement that you don't care she didn't want to live a life knowing she will be judge for what she was not what who she was. She was a she/he. You judge to quickly before you see the truth. She wanted to be herself with out being judges for everything. I gave up on caring what anyone thought because it is my life if uvwant to judge me so be it but keep it to urself. I am a bisexual tomboy that is who i am. I don't wear dresses and high heels. I wear work boots and blie jeans. That's who i am. And she should of been able to be who she wanted to be with out being seen as a outsider. Because someone is different done mean that they a bad person. And that is what everyone would of seen instead of seeing the real her. In my eyes people are people that ain't any different. The only time i don't likebpeople is if they r mean or fuck with my family and friends. And she did the right thing because how you asses r degrading her now that she has passed. I don't blame her one bit. You know it is said in the bible thou shell not judge less thou shell be judged. With means you don't have a right to judge her the higher power up there does. So maybe you all should lay the fuck off and i bet y'all don't even know her which means you ain't got no mother fucking right to judge someone you don't even know. I wish i could of gotten the chance to know her because maybe i could of helped her because i don't judge. That ain't my job. See where I'm from people don't judge someone for who they are they judge you for how you act tords someone. You are only human. If u have a soul and you know who u are then that gives you the right to make mistakes and learn from them. Some people can't handle trying to be someone they are not. And no one should have to change who they are to make others happy. Yolow.... you only have one life to live. Don't ever be something your not to fit in. And never worry about what others think because when you do you end up makin the wrong chosed like she did. And now that she is gon she don't need you putting her down. And what most of y'all are sayin is the reason she did what she did at least now she can rest in peace.

Not judging her for anything but the fact that she committed suicide. If she knew all those terms to define herself by, it means she knows of people like her(us, if I may say so). She was aware of what she was doing -she knew to tell everyone to be kind to themselves, so why could she have done the same for herself? If this is real, No matter what her reasons are, I only see her as a hypocrite now that I see this. She knew. She freaking knew, and she killed herself anyway. This is no poetry or self-justice. She wasted her life, which would have been colorful; and wasted her death, which would have made her ethereal if it happened at the right time.

Well sometimes it's harder to ask for help. And I'm guessing you knew her by the way you r talking about her. U can tell people to be kind till you r blue in the face. But that don't change things. I was always getting kick out of school because i was fighting for the kids that couldn't defend themselves. No one would listen to them but i did. And that's the problem now of day's no one wants to listen to anyone that asked for help. I should know. My brother was addicted to drugs and he was severely depressed and he asked fot help but they turned him away and he ended up killing himself because if it. And that is the hardest thin to see. That is you this story gets to me so badly. And I'm not sure if she is from China Tokyo Japan or from over there somewhere but if she is they judge u like u where a murder over there. And the only reason i know that is because i had a friend that came to my school from China her name was Honey and her little sisters name was May. But the way she talks it sounds like that is where lived. And i hope no one else ever goes through that and they can find one person they can trust to talk to.

I kinda get this, when i was a teenager I went through something similar.. but fortunately I got over it.. what got me through? Relying on my friends, listening to my favorite band (simple plan) and finally opening up to my parents (happend way after) its all about positivity and surrounding yourself with positive people. We didn't even have facebook or tumblr back then.

A life was spent dearies... Let us not turn ourselves against each other... Let this one become a reminder that we should be more open and more understanding to each and everyone especially to our brothers, sisters and cousins, to your sons and daughters, nieces and nephews. We are now living in a world where people far from each other becomes closer, and people so near to you yet so far. All of us have our own problems,no matter how small or big it is. Its how we handle these problems, our capability to overcome odds we face each day. The burden does become heavier each day when no one is there to share it with, when theres no person who pats on our shoulder and says "...evrything will be alright". Love becomes faint when the fear to be judged and criricized takes over. And because I believe we are BRILLIANT creatures, i dont need to emphasize the purpose of this message. And i dont need to say what we ought to do after this reading this. May peace be with us... :)

Poor girl. We don't know what was going through her mind. All we know or what we gather from her letter is that she obviously was hurting. I mean, we don't really know if she ever reached out to her parents before she took her life. No parent should have to bury their own child. I can't imagine what they are going through.

Psh, everyone here says things as if letting "everyone" understand is an easy thing. Just because there's a solution to something doesn't mean a problem can be solved (lol in a test for example to you, who is not fond of metaphors, knowing a solution to a math problem but not knowing how to apply or carry it out means that the said solution is completely useless). Saying that "everything will be alright" to a person who's seen what this harsh world can offer is like talking to a rock. It's complete bullshit. If you, yourself don't even know how it feels like to be constantly terrified anything, anyone, and everything, then you best be on your merry way. You're living a life that's way easier anyway.

hmmm. While this strikes us as a shocking let us not judge the poor girl for her actions for no one never really knew what was goin thru her head at the time. I only have 2 things to impart:
to the youth--- yes we understand your troubles for we once threaded that same dusky road before we reached adulthood. Suicide is never an option nor an answer...it is a weak effort to solve whatever problems you are encountering. Learn to reach out and share your burden.

to us adults---Learn to listen.....most times today in this age of jet paced technological innovation most of us have lost that gift of emphathy and caring. Spare a minute or two to listen to whatever the younguns have to say even if its just total nonsense. Doing so might mean you're saving a soul from drowning in despair.

Again suicide solves nothing. It is but a selfish act. Before thinking that nobody cares perhaps try to look the other way and contemplate who would feel lost after you take your own life.

I am no longer a teenager, yet not that old enough to say that I am matured. I'm in between but I'm drowning with depression almost every day. I write lots of suicidal notes too, but every time I'm just an inch away from Death's arms, I resist. I don't know. Maybe in some parts of my brain - or heart, wherever it is - I'm still afraid of hurting myself. And that I'm still giving this life second chances. Take note, chances. And I feel that it's an endless count.

I'm just sad that she let her depression ate everything that's left to her. But wherever she is right now. I hope she's just okay. Finally you are free, Lee.

Just respect her last notes. It may not have the details why she hurt herself but this way, at least she still said goodbye. And to those who have no idea what depression is; guys, refrain from saying things like you know everything. Toddler, teenager, matured or childish - there's no difference when it's about depression and its deadly minions. Just pray for us, so that we can get through this. Instead of judging us, encourage us. Inspire us.

I have this question of a big WHY when by best friend for 30 years took his own life just a month ago, based on the stories have heard its maybe about hardships in life or whatsoever, only he knew the real reason.

But what I do no t agree on, is the discussion of being an adult and a teenager, yes, I do think, teenagers nowadays has a different approach towards their lives and their future, not saying I did not did the same before but again, whatever approach you wanted. I really cannot make any point on why and what are the reasons for doing it. It is really just not good. Taking others life is a big mistake, what more in taking your own, it is still just another form of crime. They said that even though how much you love your life and the people around you, just that one snap of your fingers and a sudden darkness surrounds you, a lot of things can happen.

I have heard this a dozillion times from friends and families, MAKE GOD THE CENTER OF YOUR LIFE, any hardships he should be the first person one should consult. I have made this idea since I was a kid that no problem is given when there is no solution. You may not get it in an instant but it will come. Patience really is always a virtue, though, on today's type of personalities, very few have the patience in life, all wanted a huge jump start to get to the top or where ever they wanted to be at that mostly summed up to a huge depression if they do not meet it. A seminar I speaker during my college years once said, those who succeed are people who take a step at time on the stairs and not those who tried to leap an extra step to get to the top faster, that those who has completely accepted themselves sees a wider better future.

To all people who have problems, regardless of what it is, please dont let that be the cause of your death. It aint fair, not fair to yourselves, not fair to your family, not fair to your dearest friends and not fair to GOD.

how ironic, cast pa naman siya sa "O My G"

SUICIDE IS WRONG. THAT'S ALL FOLKS.

What she did and think is wrong. End of the story.
