Every year in America, more than 2000 teenagers complete suicide. If you are experiencing mental illness or feeling suicidal call #211, talk to someone, reach out for help. Know that you are loved. Understand that you are not alone and that there are people who care about you.
The average rate of suicides in the U.S. is 121 per day! There is no typical person, no economic class, no job or title or fame that is immune to suicidal thoughts, feelings, or acts. Please seek help if you’re feeling “sad””tired” or if you feel you can’t go on. #Call211
