with the events that have passed in my life and family and friends in the last week, as a general rule I try to make it a point to help all those in a situation like mine or just be there to listen when someone needs to talk. I kinda feel like I have slacked on that here of late and wish there would have been something I could have done for the young man that has took his own life. I will and challenge each and every one of you to try your best to make a difference in a young persons life. Just be there to listen if that what needs to be, young people let there emotions get to them and we as adults do to at times but we are old enough (most of us) to understand tomorrow is another day. If you see a young person struggling plz don't just let it go. if anything just be a friend lend a ear, you dont have to tell them were they are wrong, just be there.

Very good post but I will say this from experience:
Don't beat yourself up too much over the "wish I could have" etc.
Suicide leaves alot of pain and even more questions.
Granted there are people out there that can help someone who is dealing with issues that they feel killing themselves is the only way out.
Also, however, there are many people out there that are dealing with those issues that hide it very very well.

So very true.
