amd53 I think you are a very kind and sincere person who cares very much about others gay or not. I commend you as a parent myself. It is not for any one us to judge as our Lord has told on many occassions and i do however, believe you are truely blessed. Keep coaching those who are torcherd in their own souls. You never no who just might listen to you. p.s. as i kid i too was mocked for being adopted. at that time it was not condoned as it is today. Again i commend you on your kind efforts for all who seek your help. To a great young man, from a mom who knows what growing up is all about. Thank you

Austin Watson to me is a boy who made his journey to this planet, specifically, to give much love and light to those who are in despair. There was another boy which I wrote about in my blog: www.astraljump.blogspot.com TYLER CLEMENTE who followed through on a devastating act and is no long physically here on this planet with us. Metaphysically, I would like very much to share with all many things that I have been previledged to witness and learn about the act of SUICIDE. It is NOT really a choice that any of us have during our journey in this dimension. I truly believe that in spite of the fact that as a teenager and even younger I never contemplated this termination during my human life journey, even during my darkest moments. Why? Due to the great and difficult penalty possibly that will be a result of it. Just as in school, if we fail the class, we will have to repeat it. Being positive in our thoughts and actions is a part of our journey and most of all, becoming aware of the power we possess within ourselves. I believe that it would be awesome if we all came to realize how really powerful we all are on this earth plane. We all need to come to believe and "see" that we are indestructible entities! NOTHING, can really destroy us, not even suicide. We are spiritual beings in physical vehicles. THE VEHICLE CAN BE DESTROYED, BUT NOT THE HUMAN SOUL/SPIRIT! Love and Light to all.

I think it is great that teens can get involved to try to help those with suicidal feelings. I know where this comes from, I am a surviver
of a family member whe comitted suicide. There is a great organization here in central NJ called " Survivers of suicide". They too help persons who have become so down that they think suicide is the only way out. IT IS NOT! Pain, anguish, troubles and such are only temporary with help. Suicide is perminant. There is no coming back. Get help.

Although I never contemplated killing myself I still remember my teenage years, and it wasn't pretty. There should generally be some kind of forum where teens can share their thoughts and fears, and I think having the internet -which didn't exist in my teenage years- is a great tool for that, as it allows to instantly connect to somebody who can listen and help. But aside from other teens helping teens there should also be some adults around; since they have been there and done that they can give struggling teens advice other teens can't provide since they lack the experience.

I am glad U have set up this web site for teens that need help. My daughter talks about killing herself sometimes which breaks my heart and though I remember my teen years and understand the feelings that can seem so overwhelming and I try to talk to her sometimes your teens think your to old. I remember thinking that my parents were never kids just cause there your mom and dad u can't picture them young going threw what U have to deal w/ and it can be hard as a parent to not over react and say things that do not help the problem. So I am glad that other teens are reaching out to help. I will give her this facebook page THANK YOU!!!!!!!

Due to an accident 10 years ago, herniated disk in my lower back, which the doctor said flare ups would get worse every year. I thought he just liked to operate. Now, he was right, if I do anything other than lay in bed all day, the pain is so bad, I now consider suicide. Praise God, tonight I called a friend, she reminded me of laser surgery, and then another friend called me and reminded me of DRX machine. Both encouraged me to stop doing things for my parents and pay people to shop so pain doesn't become unbearable. Praise God I have friends. Somehow I forget to take care of myself and overdo, and the daily chronic pain blurs my thinking ability. Anyone in any pain, whether mental, physical or other, please reach out to someone. I'm glad I did tonight. I have a baby granddaughter, good friends and family, so much to live for, just need help, and God helped those friends help me. I want to help others who think of suicide, I care, you are not alone. You are loved and needed and special and You are God's favorite child.

This is very sad to read I'm sorry for your loved ones suicide I knew someone from my highschool a few years younger he was the brother of my friend/ classmate he killed himself Friday the 11th its very sad he felt he no other option. I looked through his face book page for any signs at all there wasn't really that stood out he did post some posts about being depressed I wish we could have all spotted it . he just seemed like nothing was wrong. I do wonder if people really realize that its is forever . I know it sounds weird to ask that . I am glad teens are doing this I think teens have a a huge impact on each other.
