November is a very important month for suicide prevention. At least one teen will experience a time where they have thoughts of suicide or know someone that has thoughts about suicide. Suicide comes from depression. That depression can come from school, sports, family and/or friends. Bullying is one main factor from suicide, whether it be in person or cyber.

Many people who think of suicide are not the ones you could pick out in a room.

Many high schools across America are spreading the word out about suicide prevention. After that week, the information and thoughts go out of teen minds. Teens across the U.S. need to be informed how to help others not go through with suicide.

On an average day, every 16.2 seconds someone was successful with suicide. About 30,000 people commit suicide a year. One in 25 suicide attempts actually go through. This is just some shocker facts.

The teenagers who are thinking of suicide are not the ones who you think. Their parents would never think of their kid being that depressed to think of something that dangerous. Teen are not the only ones who need to be aware of suicide, but parents should be informed about it, too.

The next step is to know what to do. Never be afraid to ask someone; “Are you thinking of suicide?” The person who is thinking of suicide will want help but are often too afraid to reach out for it. Other ways to be easy help is to be an ear for them and be their support guide. If you are the one helping someone, do not be afraid to go ask for more help.

Be the person to help others. Be the one that makes the numbers go down by reaching a hand out. More than 10 people are affected by one person's death. At least one student in middle school or high school is affected by suicide in some way.
