Satans Daughter
FOUND by Keith Spencer
in Oberlin, Ohio
I found this in Tappan Square, the central park of Oberlin, folded up and perched on a snowdrift. At first it was hard to tell if this was a parody, with all the teenage angsty cliches. Though the suicide threats are a bit scary, they are overwhelmed by the absurd satanic claims.

We collect FOUND stuff: love letters, birthday cards, kids' homework,
to-do lists, ticket stubs, poetry on napkins, telephone bills, doodles -
anything that gives a glimpse into someone
else's life. Anything goes...
Hey, where's the cute little PS?
Sounds like she's having a cute little PMS.
I somehow doubt that satan would make his suicidal daughter puke ... must be a different satan
Once again the Foundlings in their infinite wisdumb deprive us of the other side of this note, which obviously reveals all. Without the "cute little PS" this note is just disturbing. Yes, it's OTT...but there may be real intent here. If she discusses a failed attempt, it's obviously not just a drama-queen letting off steam. Those who try and fail often try again.
How depressing. I feel bad for her situation, that she has nobody to go to. Yes, her parents love her enough to make her puke up pills - but what are they providing her beyond that? She's misunderstood and obviously in desperate need of some affection and a good listening ear.
I think the "PS" is the part about "if you tell the stupid bitch-ass about me killing myself...".
I especially like how she calls her mum a bitch numerous times, but never really says anything about why. Classic teen angst at its finest.
Did you notice that every time she says bitch she capitalizes it? For emphasis??
Any ideas as to the reason for the color of this note?
Why is SD worried about A---- receiving the necklace when she wants to tell the intended recipient of this note how much she hates them? For that non-sequitir line, I think maybe it's a genuine note.
I can't believe I spelled my own name wrong in my last comment...
planing and murcy made me giggle. Otherwise, my only thought was, "oooooohhhhhh.. she's just soooooo ... eeeemoooooo." (you gotta say it all dark and goth like.)
I think she meant to say she is STAN's daughter.
There's definitely writing on the back (presumably the cute little PS) you can see lettering under "then" and "I am hell" toward the bottom. No clue what it says, just that it's there.)
Part of the reason for the coloring of the note is water damage. It was originally lined notebook paper, judging from the pink vertical line at the left. the bluish coloring is from the (water soluble ink) blue lines on the paper running, then drying at the fold points, the purplish color is from the ink running.
And I love the friendly little exclamation mark at the end. It makes the "ok!" sound as if it's chirped out by a friendly flight attendant.
That is all.
The wavering between suicidal and chirply cheerful is more frightening than the actual suicidal contents. Like she can't decide whether she wants to be angry at the world, or chipper (specifically the last line - "so don't mess with me. I'm not the in F--ing mood. Ok!")
Poor girl. I think her parents need to take better care of her. If she's tried once, she will probably try again. This letter is a cry for help.
"have murcy on you soul"
"fucken mood"
"planing"
-lmao-
Well she might being doing the world a favor by offing herself if she can't even put a proper sentence together...
She sounds like an emo kid anyways.
I remember having a conversation one time where I said that I think if there is a Hell, it should be personalized. For instance, for me, Hell would be cold--like Pluto cold, because eternal damnation in fire doesn't sound as scary as that to me.
My new runner up is eternal damnation spent as a teenager, stuck in a never ending loop of drama and hormones.
This is why I could never teach middle school.
Dear Found,
Please consider to have a sweet flipping motion on founds where there is by chance another side to a letter, or any other Found. Like how it is on Post Secret's site. I'm guessing it's a little bit more effort but you guys & gals are cool.

rly guys, I don't think she's in the "fuken mood" lol.
I Am Satan's Daughter would make a great band name.
If people were born teenagers, no one would reproduce!
I whole-heartedly agree with you Terrie! Every winter I always express my feelings that Hell should be cold b/c THAT'S the real punishment.
am i the only one who hearts teenagers??!!
I Warship Satin!
Wow I can't believe some of your comments. Jinx what you said I think is absolutely horrible. Seriously have some sympathy for this girl.
Obviously she is going through a tough time and needs to get help, but the sad thing is she probably feels lost, and thinks no one cares to help her. Sure she may be overplaying the drama in her life, but we all do that whether we are 80 or 15.
I feel terrible for this girl and hope that she will soon find someone she can confide in, and someway she can work out her problems.
It would certainly be interesting to see the backside of this note
It wasn't really.
I have a friend just like this girl and she's just a total drama queen.
she's always going "oh I'm going to kill myself you'll all regret it"
but she's too much of a pansy to do it.
It seriously looks like it was written by some emo kid in middle school who just wanted to get someone's attention.
The printing looks to be that of an elementary school child. Let's say, Gr.5 through to Gr.9.
My son always preferred printing, even though it looked like it was printed by a younger child. Actually, all of his school chums printed their work, as well.
They started using computers in Gr.1, maybe that's why? Also, In Gr.7 & 8, they were allowed to do their essays on the computer and all their other homework, as well.
Something which I never agreed with because the child will never develope their penmanship to it's full potential. (My opinion)
Back to the FIND, both of today's FINDS are quite similar. Although, I think we all figured that out! (Even when other FINDS don't converge, we still post, edit, modify and make them work together!)
I feel for this young, innocent soul. I don't know her/him, nothing of their upbringing, Zip-po!
I do know this, though. I'm a parent, and I'd want to know if this was my baby. If that was someone I knew, or knew of (friend, school-mate, etc...)I'd be giving this note to their parent/s.
GOD BLESS all the little children...
Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. Yes, as a matter of fact, I did give Asshole the necklace.
I hate when people spell it "fucken."
Lars, if by "hearts" you mean "can't fuckin' stand to be within 500 feet of," then no - you're not the only one who hearts teenagers.
Having spent a lot of time in Oberlin myself, this note only makes me chuckle and wonder which of the myriad of walking middle school girls wrote this. Maybe the note was left in the park having been intended for the white squirrel.
Don't throw this little girl a pity party. If I had a dollar for every angsty note I wrote or every time I called my mom a bitch as a pre-teen/teen, I'd be independently wealthy.
She probably just ate about 4 Tylenol and got nauseous. This note sounds way more like a bitchy little drama queen than a seriously depressed/disturbed kid.
Let's hope none of you condescending adults who have forgotten what the adolescent years are like for those living them, ever have the shock to the system one of my neighbours did not long ago. She woke up to discover her daughter had committed suicide by taking some of her mother's medication.
The mother had no idea the daughter was being abused and rough handled by her boyfriend. And they lived in the same house.
Funny, everyone in the neighbourhood knew it.
When Isabel said "I hate my life"---she meant it.
Gosh, for such an awful note, the colors from the inks running are just beautiful.
What i'm wondering is why she says "mum" when this was found in Ohio? Isn't that the English way to say mom? It's clearly a "u".
It's strange... I mean, angsty was just as fun and cool when I was that age, but I think nowadays it's like, you're not angsty enough until you've actually attempted suicide. One of my young-teenage cousins is the same way.
I thought "mum" was odd, too.
I heart flargy.
Those crazy Ohioans and their silly suicide notes.
While it's almost funny--it depresses me.
Poor kid.
Anyone else think this is really random? First she's talking about necklaces and a guy making a band, and then she's talking about suicide... And then somehow, "Don't mess with me, I'm not in the mood," seems really out of place.
I dunno, I just thought it was a really scrambled note, hah.
I had an argument with my husband recently, because he made a comment about teenagers being dramatic. He said something along the lines of "why can't they just wake up and realize it isn't so bad and everyone goes through it? it's really pathetic."
I had to take several moments to breathe before I could answer.
It really upsets me when people mock teenagers in pain. I don't CARE if they want attention. I don't CARE if everyone goes through it. I don't care if they have it better than we do.
Pain is pain.
The most disturbing thing is this girls obsession with a potentially abusive or controlling 21 year old.
I attempted suicide several times in my teenage years, and looking back on it, it definitely wasn't a laughing or insignificant matter.
