Suicide awareness

Recommended Posts

It has been 7 years since my friend's older brother committed suicide. I never knew him but I heard stories, and he seemed like a happy, funny, kind and ordinary person. Everyone is fighting a battle that you don't know about. I'm going to list off some facts about suicide.

About 800,000 people a year commit suicide. That's about 1 person every 40 seconds. If we say that every 40 seconds 1 person dies then....

In 2 minutes about 3 people commit suicide.

In 30 minutes about 45 people commit suicide.

In a 50-minute class period about 75 people commit suicide.

In a 6-hour school day 540 people commit suicide. 

In 8 hours about 720 people commit suicide.

In 12 hours about 1080 people commit suicide.

In a day about 2160 people commit suicide. 

If we assume that. Remember to help others, you might never know if the last thing you said to someone will be the last thing you ever said to them. If you need help with something or a friendly conversation. Please don't hesitate to talk to me. I'm always here and willing/wanting to help. Please talk to someone if you are struggling with depression, anxiety, or suicide or if your just struggling or having a hard day. Please talk to someone. If you know someone struggling please help them and help them get the health they need.
