.... So thats what the call was about! Heres the link to this weeks article (based on a true story) written by our very own Tris Victoria. projectbrave.wordpress/2014/08/22/regrets-by-beatrice-victoria/ Feel free to leave comments and share your own stories. Bullying is a serious problem that can lead to many dangerous effects, including suicide. From bullyingstatistics.org: Some of the warning signs of suicide can include: Showing signs of depression, like ongoing sadness, withdrawal from others, losing interest in favorite activities, or trouble sleeping or eating Talking about or showing an interest in death or dying Engaging in dangerous or harmful activities, including reckless behavior, substance abuse, or self injury Giving away favorite possessions and saying goodbye to people Saying or expressing that they cant handle things anymore Making comments that things would be better without them If a person is displaying these symptoms, talk to them about your concerns and get them help right away, such as from a counselor, doctor, or at the emergency room. In some cases, it may not be obvious that a teen is thinking about suicide, such as when the suicide seems to be triggered by a particularly bad episode of bullying. In several cases where bullying victims killed themselves, bullies had told the teen that he or she should kill him or herself or that the world would be better without them. Others who hear these types of statements should be quick to stop them and explain to the victim that the bully is wrong.
