As teen Suicide rates soar something needs to be done to help these kids before it’s too late. I’m thrilled that someone is trying to help in this often misunderstood situation. My brother committed suicide in 2006 at the age of 18. I don’t want any family to ever have to experience what we have lived through.

I’m sorry to hear about your brother, but I have my reservations about this kind of program.

For one thing, if it works like other health based programs, it’s going to be an abysmal failure. Kids won’t be caught, because those who are really suicidal are probably best at hiding it, and in all likelihood, many kids are going to be labeled who are perfectly normal.

Another thing is, as mentioned above, for the kids who are labeled for some reason, there’s going to be too much government intrusion and restrictions.
