Suicide is Never the Answer
Last night I looked off my terrace to see a ton of police cars, our drive way covered with crime scene tape and a sheet covering a body. Today I found out that it was a 16 year old boy, honor student, in the prime of his life and his parents were arguing. He in turn jumped off the terrace. I've never seen death in my own backyard. And it's sobering to think that this young man was so distraught that he felt this was the only way to get his parents attention. As I hugged my son close I reminded him that no matter how tough things seem if you end your life there's no turning back. Please if you're reading this and the thought has ever crossed your mind find someone you trust. There is help. You don't need to take that path.
