It takes a brave soul to wake up every day and face the world after sustaining facial damage like that. I start feeling insecure after getting some acne on my face. May she be blessed for remaining strong.

Yeah especially because it was a result of a suicide attempt in the first place. If you try to kill yourself after your boyfriend cheats on you, how do you not after this? Also, yet another reason why America's gun laws are stupid. She wouldn't have shot herself in England.

  She might've just overdosed on something or jumped off a bridge in England. You don't need a gun to commit suicide. Also the US has gun laws and gun owners organizations, they all agree that at home, you should store your guns in a locked container.

    Guns are usually instantly fatal and available in the home. Overdosing is dangerous, but it's less lethal than gunshot. Falls from high places are dangerous, but it requires the person makes a plan to travel to that location which doesn't fit for the rapid onset nature of many suicide attempts. Death by falls and fracture (these include jumping in front of trains) account for a small number of deaths by suicide. So, people can do it. But they tend not to do it. https://www.ons.gov.uk/peoplepopulationandcommunity/birthsdeathsandmarriages/deaths/bulletins/suicidesintheunitedkingdom/2016registrations#suicide-methods https://www.ons.gov.uk/peoplepopulationandcommunity/birthsde...

    No, you don't need a gun, but it makes it a hell of a lot easier, and the extra effort involved to do it without a gun often stops people.

  This is a point that a lot of people don't think about. America's gun laws make it a lot easier to attempt suicide, while putting less thought in about the act. I am British, and have contemplated it numerous times, but the effort involved in driving to a cliff, or creating a noose, or just the worry about doing it wrong, has stopped me. If it were as simple as (getting drunk and) pulling a trigger, I would no longer be here.

The highest suicide rates exist in countries without gun rights. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_suicide_rate https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_suicide_r... Why is it people need to attack the US at every turn? Also, if she was in england, she wouldn't have had this opportunity because we lead the world in medical care.
