Spread the word and help me get Suicide 101 and suicide awareness out in the open. The more we ignore it, the more kids just like you and me take it upon themselves to end their lives. If you're still unsure if you want help from me, here's some books about suicide that I've read: Dead Serious: A Book For Teenagers About Teenage Suicide by Jane Mersky Leder (This book is the best i've found. It dosen't even suggest that all "gothic" people are suicidal. It says that suicide can happen to anyone in any group. I highly suggest this book.) Working Together Aganist Teen Suicide by Toby Axelrod (It's alright) Current Controversies: Suicide (This is a collection of essays on suicide) Lucent Overview Series: Suicide by Adam Woog All of these books can probably be found in your school and/or your local library.
