Cowboys DT Solomon Thomas on Marshawn Kneeland: “Marshawn was in the building, smiling every day. He was happy. He was listening to music. He was dancing all the time. But that’s the thing with mental health and suicide, you just never know what someone’s going through.
“Someone could be smiling, someone could be dancing, laughing, having a great time, expressing all this joy, but on the inside, they could really be fighting a battle that you never know about. You don’t know what the chemicals are telling them in their brain. You don’t know the trauma from their childhood. You don’t know everything they’ve been going through. And that’s why it’s so important to be kind.
“It’s so important to ask people how they’re doing. It’s so important to tell people the resources around them, that therapy is OK as a man. Therapy is OK as a woman. These are things that we need to go through because you never know what battle someone’s going through. It’s hard. It’s tragic. It’s such a young life that should be here. This is why mental health is so important.
“So many people struggle with it around the world, and in our country, on football teams, in classrooms. If you look at the mental health statistics, they start at the age of nine. Kids are dying by 9 to suicide. It’s something our whole nation needs to take seriously. Get off social media, believing everything is just highlights. That’s not life. Life is about the adversity, the hard times, the sad times, the depression, the sadness, the anxiety. These are all feelings of human experience, so we just have to let people feel human and be human.”
