Solution For Depressed Teens

Solution For Depressed Teens

Why not gather teenagers at a specific location and treat them by understanding? Before gathering these teens let's make sure they might be suffering from depression. We should then survey these teens and try to figure out their interests and dislikes. Then we take them to a peaceful camp where they can do what they please. They may stay over if they please but cannot abandon this program, if they do, they will get sent to Summer School. They can feel as if this camp was a second home for them. The camp will have snacks and meals to offer. Super friendly camp counselors who have been through what they have been.

Just read about it.

-Imagine seeing a peppy teenager who loves to laugh and in the next month you hear she dies from hanging herself in her room. You won't be able to that smile or hear that laugh again. Only because she felt worthless in this world and found freedom through death.

-Shooting a shotgun to your head is ranked number #1 as suicide method. It lasts less than 2 minutes and only causes five percent of agony from a hundred. I have a graph here on methods of suicide and it's lethality along with it's duration and agony. This shouldn't exist.

- I believe there are opportunities for these teens, parents or friends of these victims should be supportive. What if our our human race was filled of victims with this mental illness. Who will be save us?
