Suicide and Crisis behind you into the future!

If you are in a hard way you know they get left behind as you go on with life! It's better to look ahead talk to people that would help you to get where you need to be going to for your future! Go forward!

~~~~Adolescence can be a turbulent time. Teenagers deal with a vast array of new experiences during this transitional period, such as new relationships, decisions about the future, and physical changes that are taking place in their bodies. A considerable number of teenagers are dealing with depression, an illness with significant long-term consequences, including an increased risk for suicide.

Other teenagers are simply overwhelmed by the uncertainties of adolescence and feel they have nowhere to turn. Their search for answers may lead them to begin “self-medicating” their pain by abusing drugs or alcohol. Or they might express their rage and frustration by engaging in acts of violence. They don’t want to talk about their emotions or problems because they may think that will make them a burden or that others will make fun of them. Too often, these troubled teens opt instead to take their own lives.
