Suicide is the 2nd leading cause of death for children, teens and young adults age 5 to 24….
2nd leading cause of death.
Look at the new age parameters, 5 to 24yrs… yes, you read it correctly, children as young as 5 are dying by suicide.
This is EVERYONE’s problem.

They probably don’t comprehend the finality of death, but they’re finding out how to attempt and die online on different social media sites. They have access to information that we’ve never had access to at such a young age before and they aren’t being guided or monitored in a lot of ways. It’s terrifying.
