Would You Remember Me? This is the question asked by the title.  Of course not is the answer, because you've got nothing interesting to say, didn't do anything interesting in your life so far, didn't have interesting good or bad that happened to you to justify even contemplating suicide.  All this girl talks about is how depressed she is and tells each family member, well lectures each family member on life.  Mum you used to be fun, until life started to get a little tough and you gave up.  Dad you know you left me, when you no longer wanted to live with mum and asked me who I wanted to live with.  Sister you took a lot of attention away from me when you were born and have always been an attention seeker ever since, but I still love you. This is the whole ten minute read.  Nothing exciting happens or happened to her at all.The writer (fictional character one) just needed someone to talk to who would tell her life's not all about you honey, and educate her a bit with some sort of reality check.  A new younger sister is going to take some attention away from you.  Your dad and mum won't always love each other, the real world isn't a cartoon, love rarely lasts forever.Obviously we don't know if the girl actually kills herself or not since notes are obviously written before the act. Since this was so unmoving, unemotional it needed something after.  Either a letter or the eulogy written by the people she talks about in her letter.  Or a follow up letter by the girl herself if she didn't do it saying how she realised how stupid that letter was and how she's glad she didn't actually kill herself.There's also no details at the end for anyone feeling like this themselves that are the standard for any piece of fiction dealing with suicide such as if you are feeling depressed or need someone to talk to ring Kids Help Line on 1800 55 1800.Suicide notes are a difficult thing to do in fiction, however they can actually be well done, and entertaining, such as withTo Whom It May Concernby Piper Downs.
