""Suicide is the second leading cause of death among youth aged 14-25 in Oregon. among youth aged 14-25 in Oregon. There are over 80% of parents are unaware of their child's suicide indication. For this reason, and many others, schools are the best possible setting for suicide prevention efforts. Third of all the 80% of students say that they would go to a friend rather then to a adult if suicide was the issue. Finally to sum up things, we school districts are addressing depression and suicidal behavior directly and responding immediately will help reduce the risk of suicide."
For an example, I had someone close to me that I had known for so long that had thoughts of taking their life because he lost his girlfriend. They would argue daily and just he could not take the pressure of an every day thing so to make it easier for him he took his life. That's not a solution for a argument with the person you love or some you keep close by. You take a time out, calm down, and talk it out after you're not mad. Please don't push your dearest ones away keep them closer then ever.
Enjoy the time with them and just take things slow don't be on a rush.
