Suicide has affected us all one way or another even if it was just by knowing someone who did it. I have suffered with depression and am only realising now that I did but having my parents and siblings has been the best thing ever. :)

Mental illness is still so poorly dealt with in this country, with most resources coming at cost and stigma rising from its mention. If this issue were tackled from a young age, when for many, when it actually begin to develop, then perhaps these resources would not be necessary and the manner in which it was talked about or thought about would not be so ill.

Suicide is the worst exit, even though is a brave decision. But teenagers are too young and Life is too big.
