Never alone

why is it important to talk about suicide and everything that can bring you to it? I do events where I speak about suicide and mental disorders, how it affects people, how it affected me for a big part of my life. I made a speech on how I was bullied all my life. Not only by girls but also boys! i also explained how the mental illness got to me! how at one point it tried to kill me! but i'm still here today! People came to my booth afterwards and finally got off their chest what they were going through! Some of them had been keeping it in for many years. Some were affected by it because a family member or a friend was going through it. A child came up to me to tell me that she tried to kill herself because people at school pushed her to it! can we all see that this needs to stop? That we need to talk about it? we need to teach our kids how to be nice, how to respect others and how to walk away from certain situations! I'm not saying it will be easy but if we keep going this way, more and more youth will leave this world because we are simply to scared to listen to them! we do what we do to make sure they don't keep it in. we make sure to let them know they have a hand to hold on to. we make sure that they understand that we will walk through their hell with them. we make sure that they know that we will find a solution with them about the issue. parents.. listen. it's time to open up. It's time to listen to the people who are suffering on the inside. sit with your child and simply.. talk... understand them support them, and love them. It's important for parents to give support to their child, to sit with them and calmly talk to them, let them know that you'll be there gor them. To let them know that you won't let them fall into the hole of darkness, that you won't let them drown in their anxiety and depression. show them that you will be by their side. kids... don't be afraid of it. i know it's scary to be stuck in your own mind where it keeps telling you horrible things you should do to yourself. but... don't listen to it. you are stronger than you think. you can beat it down in a second you just need to keep fighting no matter how hard it is!! and when it gets to hard, when it seems like you can't beat it alone, don't worry child we will be there by your side to show you how. if you have fallen into this dark hole where you can't get out anymore, where you're stuck at the bottom and don't know how to get back up. don't worry we will show you the way, we will help you and guide you through that dark path. we will always care and love you. if you ever feel lonely and far away from the world, look beside you, you'll see us walking every step with you, giving you the extra strength to keep moving. stay strong. don't you worry you're not alone. why is it important to talk about suicide?
