Quick Thoughts On Suicide

I just heard from a young family member about another youth suicide, It seriously hurts me deeply to know someone just couldn't take it any more and took their own life, I'm talking about a high school kid...not that its ever "right", but that's TOO YOUNG!!!!

I've been through some deep, very dark depressions, there have been times where i thought about ending it, and I'm am thankful everyday i made it out the other side unscathed.

I just wish i could tell everyone that no matter how bad life can get, with some help, we as a community can work with you to make it better, and there's plenty of help out there, take beyondblue for example: http://www.beyondblue.org.au/index.aspx? maybe ask a teacher, parent or a friend (if you need help, you can even in-box me) to ask for help for you, anything!!!

We live in one of the greatest times to be alive in the history of mankind, and the future is promising you've just got to give it a go...

I'm not asking for everyone to become Philanthropists, but please look for the signs of Depression and reach out to them, you just might save their lives!!!

Anyway just had to vent...
