I remember a poll asking what you would do if you found a person lying on the ground and hurt. I remember that I said I would stay and make sure they get medical attention, thinking I would if it happened. Today I reflect on that answer. It's not that simple, really. Yesterday I found someone lying on the ground with her hand over her face. A man was leaning over her, and I noticed that she appeared to be breathing. I immediately leaned down, and asked the man if everything was okay. He replied that she was having a reaction to a vaccine. This triggered anger in me, because I know the damage vaccines do to people, causing disorders and other severe problems. But I ignored my feelings for a while, and asked if an ambulance had been called. It had. I asked if there was anything I could do. He said no, probably because I'm just a teen. As much as I hated it, I left them. There was nothing I could do, because, in this man's opinion, kids can't really help much. After five minutes, I headed that way again, because I hadn't heard an ambulance. Just then the sirens came, so I stopped. What do you guys think-was the man right to tell me I couldn't do anything to help? Would you follow through on something you voted for in a poll? Still wanting to follow up, 15 minutes later, I went back out. Paramedics were working on her on the sidewalk. I don't know what happened to her in the end. I guess I'll always wonder if I could have helped more if I'd have stayed.

You got plenty of room for regret. Come on, you did what you could, he told you he didn't need any help os you listened. You're not to blame. Don't worry about it. I not one to make a judgement call on the man, but it think what he did was alright. I dunno hwat anyone can do actually. Well don't feel guilty. If i threw away food and felt guilty about all of the starving people in the world, then I'd have so much guilt I'd kill myself. Or I'd just develop an eating disorder.
