I wanted to post this here for everyone, young and old, parents and children. Unfortunately my daughter’s classmate committed suicide on New Year’s Day (last Thursday). He was a popular freshman, started on the Varsity football team and had a girlfriend that was a cheerleader. Last night we found out that a friend of his, a senior also committed suicide. My daughter is so distraught; as am I as a mother.
I was up last night until after 3 just talking to my daughter. I will not go into any details; however I am posting this hear so that we as parents and friends pay attention to our children and encourage them to pay attention to their friends. Kids do not just commit suicide; they usually give some indication that they are contemplating taking such a step. PLEASE PAY ATTENTION! And above all else talk to your kids and kids talk to your friends and go to a trusted adult…..Pleaseeeeeee.
Suicide is NOT an Option
