The story behind my topic:

How serious is teen suicide? It is often thought that as a teen you do not have many problems in the world; well, this is exceptionally far from the truth. Countless friends of mine have issues, and not the mental kinds. They go through ordeals everyday; and at times, they feel overwhelmed. So what do we have to worry about: relationships, he said she said rumors, talking about people, DRAMA, backstabbing? Yes, but all of these are all “under the radar” type things. More major problems fall under: deaths in the family, divorces, family related problems, arguments, lack of income, a change in lifestyle, and so much more; these are supposed things that should be the adult’s worries, but adolescents rarely let a parent or family member struggles alone. The stress I see every day and the signs people around me make me fearful of what may be in store. “In this day and age” it seems no one can feel good about themselves unless they put someone down. We are stereotyped and categorized based on insignificantly dim contents such as the controversial topic of skin color from the civil rights movement. In our time you can become an outcast for the type of shoes you wear from the people you hang out with. I have seen too many of my friends let things such as bullying or stress get to them. I want to build a site that will inspire those under pressure to call or to talk to someone. This site is life a cyber haven for anyone and everyone. Let it be known and let your voice be heard.
