A boy in my grade named Zane called me one night and left a voicemail on my phone. "No one would care if you killed yourself", he said. Surprisingly, I had the confidence to tell my mom and her friend about the frightening voicemail I had received. There we were in the school classroom listening to the voicemail in awe. No one ever reported the voicemail and I regret not doing it myself. I will never forget that my mother never did anything about it and I don't know if I can ever forgive her for that.
