every 40 seconds, someone commits suicide. every 17 seconds, someone succeeds. 1 in 5 teenagers have thought about suicide, about 1 in 6 teenagers have made plans for suicide, and more than 1 in 12 teenagers have attempted suicide in the last year. as many as 8 out of 10 teenagers who have commited suicide tried to ask for help in some way before committing suicide. repost if you’re always here to listen.
