This article on Yahoo made me think about the subject of teen suicides and the part we all try to take to assist in getting the troubled young through a crisis
http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20061216/ap_on_re_us/missouri_suicides
Does anyone here have any particular ideas on what we need to look for to recognise when someone is in trouble and what to do about it?
Because this is a Place of Safety teens with problems are attracted here.
How do we recognise when there is a cry for help and what is the best way to provide that help.
I am aware that almost everyone who posts here is on the lookout for this and on more than one occasion has steered that person away from taking that fateful step.
This is a subject that is close to me having had a cousin who committed suicide and left no note so the family will always wonder why.
