September is the month that most suicides happen. I know of a 14 yo that took her life, this week. She was an 8th grader and played in the HS band. Very talented.
We in NJ knew it was not good but don't know the details. The fact that a 15 year old would do this is very disturbing and I can't imagine how her family is coping. Her last profile picture seems like a kid with a lot going for her which makes this news hard to take. Again, I can't imagine how the family is dealing with this.
Several years ago, I lost a friend who was bi-polar and was trying to get off her medication. We lost a former player this past May, a good friend of both my DD's. Suicide is a silent killer of good people! So if it's a killer, it should be a big concern, but it seems to get overlooked or ignored.
September is Suicide Prevention month . give a moment of support to all of those who have family problems, health struggles, job issues, worries of any kind or just need to know that someone cares. Do it for all of us, for nobody is immune
So sad. Everything is so intense when you're a teenager. I wish as people on the other side of all that youthful madness could help them understand that whatever it is, it will pass. I remember things seeming so huge at 15 that now, I can barely remember. What a terrible tragedy.
