Suicide

Suicide is a growing subject in today's society, one that many would like to brush under the rug, but we can't do that any longer. Suicide is accounts for 2% of deaths and it is the third leading cause of death for people aged 15-24. This is becoming a growing concern for many families all over the world including the United States.

It takes a brave person to stand up and talk about suicide and that is what some of the Oscar Winners did this year. One Dana Perry stood up and told her story about her son while another, Graham Moore told his own story.

These people are speaking out and getting people aware of this issue. Depression is no joke and people need to know that they are not the only ones going through this. Depression can be treated, but only if you want it to be. People need to speak up and be more open about how they are feeling so that others can help.
