S: Suicide
One of the toughest issues so far. The New YorkDaily News reported in June 2012 that 1 in 6 high school students has seriously considered suicide and 1 in 12 has attempted it (based on 2012 report from the CDC). That is absolutely staggering.
If you’re having suicidal thoughts, you can call the National Suicide Prevention Hotline at 1-800-273-TALK (8255) or the National Hopeline Network at 1-800-SUICIDE (1-800-784-2433).
Today’s song: Loser by Three Doors Down
Cause I’m a loser and sooner or later
You know I’ll be dead
You’re getting closer,
You’re holding the rope and
I’m taking the fall
Cause I’m a loser
You’re getting closer, to pushing me
Off of life’s little edge
