RE: Suicides.
I hope this doesn't sound cold-hearted, as it is not meant so, but rather a search for a solution ...
I can try to imagine the pain, even if not directly involved. But these are the two avenues the police and social workers should now employ; for who would want it to go on?
1. How does this compare to the national average of suicides for that age? (I don't know.) Is it regular (in which case it will be ignored), or is it off the charts? If OTC, then I would say an emergency group has to look into this. Two things could trigger a grouping of suicides among teens - either they knew each other, which I doubt, or the place, environment, and social conditions. These should (ideally) be replenished within weeks as an emergency measure. (Yes, I know the authorities are unlikely to act within weeks, but they should.)
2. Actually my"1" covers my 2nd. An immediate need to look at the town and area. In all aspects - social, economical, educational, etc. With interviews with many people living there. There will be a reason for this, and there will also be an answer, if only 'authorities' implement it.
Keep in mind that this is the season of SAD. There is an HP thread on that. So things should improve anyway come Spring. However, winter follows after, so IMO the local council should implement things in the next few months?

RE: Suicides.
thanks all.
I saw the one girl this afternoon at youth group. She is 'fine but really tired'
Wish it was as easy for the rest of us!
She seems physically fine, and for that matter emotionally too.
RE: Suicides.
I definitely send my prayers that is horrible!
It good to hear the young lady was at youth group sheneeds a lot of love and attention. I've worked with youth for many years so that breaks my heart to hear of trends like that. She needs to defintely talk with someone about what's going on because she's still not "okay" or "fine" if she tried tooverdose. Someone needs to try to get to the root so the issue can be dealt with and she can find healthy means of dealing with issues/feeling etc..
I will keep her in my prayers.[sm=angel_sm029.gif]
RE: Suicides.
I send my prays as well..
I have personally known someone that committed suicide - two people in fact.
one was a really good friend in Korea when I was stationed there - no reason, no signs, he was a good person and loved life - big mistery to me
the other was when I was stationed here in the DC area...he was a lonsome guy, but there were a few of us that tryed to get him to go do things, he was very quiet though and kept to himself...I had gone on a trip over new years weekend, and came back to him have done this.
for children (scuse me - teenagers), its very hard for me to imagine why they would do that...peer pressure maybe? i am not a phychiatrist, or theropist, or any type of 'ist or doctor...but i know for adults its hard this time of year.
again, i send my prayers to all the families affected, and to the town for healing...
