All Parents please, talk to your kids

[riverman140]

I dident want to post this on the internet, but i feel that the ones who have young teens should speak with them, last thursday i lost my 17 year old cousin who sufferd depression and commited suicide. below is a video, of my aunts and uncles, and even cousins. the story should explain it better than i could attempt to.

i probaly will not reply to this thread again, too hard for me to talk about.

the reason for this thread is not so i can get abunch of sorry for your losses, hell i dont care if anyone responds to this. all im hoping to get out of this is parents talk with your kids i dont want anyone to ever have to deal with this like we are.

God Bless you for coming forward with this, you never know you may save another life.

If by sharing this, and just 1 person is saved, you and your family are heroes.

You are going to help someone by talking about this, for that i commend you.

No words will help, I lost a dear friend in high school, he took his life and i still think of it.

So very sorry for you loss.

So very sad to watch and read. I've had the talk many times with my family, "never make a long term decision for a short term problem". Just a tragedy. Sorry to hear about this.

Very Sad. Sorry for your loss.

This hits close to home for me. We lost a good friend Mike from Rolling Hills. Read this article in the paper the other morning and had some memories flowing. This guy reminds me of our friend. Had everything from the Porsche and truck in high school to the hot chicks. Feel for his family as the question will always be in there head. Realize there is not much a family can do as they will not open up. Depression Sucks....
