the virgin suicides.

last night, i watched the virgin suicides... and i'm not really sure how i'm reacting yet. the whole story is about these five sisters. the youngest one kills herself by jumping from the second story onto a neighbors sharp pointy fence. then the other four sisters are struggling socially, all except one who ends up getting in trouble and pushes the parents to isolate the girls in their home. they all kill themselves on the anniversary of their sister's death. hanging. gas oven. pills. carbon monoxide poisoning. i kept thinking what i would do if all of my children killed themselves. what would i have to live for? what could i tell myself to make it better? this played in my head over and over and over again...
