Suicide

A casualty that happens more often than many of us want to admit, yet it can be prevented so easily. And yet we let society encourage it.

"My friend died from suicide, i'm sorry i didn't help them."

"Suicide happens a lot."

Suicide

The act of taking one's own life, or in other words killing oneself. This is often caused by severe depression or other mental illnesses. Unfortunately, suicide is at an all-time high among teenagers, and many have attempted the act, most of them succeeding. Although it is highly discouraged, the sad truth is that many are unable to reason with those that contemplate said act.

Many people have gone through this, and you are not alone. Please, please do whatever you can to reach out to any kind of professional help. If you can't speak to a professional for whatever reason need be, please contact the folks at Samaritans.org whom are a charity about suicide prevention. You can call, text, or email them, and an unpaid volunteer is ready to talk and listen. Just in case, please distance yourself from anything you could potentially use to harm yourself. You can get through this, you just have to keep going. Don't give up. You got this.
