PSA

All teenagers go through periods of feeling isolated or alone, but for some teens, it goes a lot deeper than a few moments of having low self-esteem. For some teenagers, the low feelings turn into depression which can turn into a dangerous thing and can lead to suicide. Over the last several decades, the suicide rate in young people has increased dramatically. In 1996, suicide was the third leading cause of death in 15 to 24 year olds and the fourth leading cause of death in 10 to 14 year olds.  1 in 5 teens had thought about suicide, about 1 in 6 teens had made plans for suicide, and more than 1 in 12 teens had attempted suicide in the last year.  For me information please call 1.800.TEEN.HELP and remember…
