This is a hard topic to tackle but it needs to be talked about. Suicide rates have increased by 30% or more since 2000. Which isn’t a good thing.
If you are thinking about suicide, please talk to someone. It might be scary, but people will listen. I promise you.
Please remember:
You are loved.
People do love you.
People will miss you. Even if you don’t think so.
Life is worth living. I promise you that.
I believe in you!
I’m proud of you and how far you’ve come.
Never give up.
You matter!
Please don’t go through with it.
