Last year my dad and I had gotten into a big fight and the same night my best friend came to get me. I had bruises on my arm and it led to questions at school. Social Services got involved - everything was a mess. At the same time, my dad lost his job, my parents announced their divorce, and I moved out. I gave up and realized I couldn't handle this life any more, the stress and everything happening. You guys are amazing and have helped me through so much. I understand life now, and all it has to offer. Thank you for everything. - Melissa

I escape it all by drinking or doing drugs . . . I got older and dumber, and life got worse for me. When I came home from school today I gave my younger brother and sister, and my mother a hug and kiss and told them I loved them . . . I am going to try my hardest to stand up for what I believe in. I'm not going to harm my body to escape the pains of life, and I won't pretend to be somebody who I'm not so that I will fit in . . . I guess I am just trying to say thank you. You have brought me back... and shown me how much I really have to lose. - Tina

I have been suicidal for 3 years. There have been many times I have thought there was no way I could go on in this world. My mom is always traveling and my dad and I don't really get along. I feel as if I am never good enough for them. When you came and spoke at my school you made me feel special. I had to leave the room crying because what they had to say really touched me. I now think of my future and what it holds for me. Thank You with all of my heart - Kristen
