It is so alarming and so close to home. Kids are impulsive there is data to back that up. Depression and teens seems to be an area that education could really help. It needs to be taught to our childrens educators and even our children. These kids sometimes are feeling things ex.saddness. They should know whats normal and what is defined as depression. There friends spend so much time with them,if they could spot some signs. They need to know were they can turn to help there friend. If someone is in your home and you know there depressed or you feel there depressed,never trust that something harmful can't happen. Take all measures to insure safety. Never allow someone to leave your home when they in a state of confusion. 911 is so easy!! Let's stop this stigma when th CDC is alarmed,their spreading the word. Two many of our kids our precious babies are dieing. This is a treatable condition so lets get our heads out of the sand and educate. Lets save a life of maybe your child or your childs friend. Please!!
