Transcript of Suicide Awareness 17 year old Isaiah Ziegler
‘THROUGH MY EYES”
Every 40 seconds in the world,
A person commits suicide…
A typical High School Classroom includes one boy
and two girls who attempted suicide in the past year
Suicide is the 8th leading cause of death in the U.S.
For every teen suicide completion,
there are 200 attempts…
75% of teens who commit suicide, suffer from depression
If you are thinking about suicide,you are not alone
Many of us find ourselves in situations where our pain exceeds resources for coping with pain.
When a person feels trapped in a situation…
The future may seem very dim
But there is hope
If you are feeling suicidal, or know someone
who is…Reach out. Please
Your life is precious
You are valuable
You are worthyof life
Common warning signs of suicide are:
Talks about deathsays nobody cares
begins to act recklessly
withdrawn from interacting
substance abuse
Many people exhibit these signs at one point or another in their life
May I tell you something?
Isaiah was one of them
Where there is life, there is hope
All photos were captured by Isaiah and are
a representation of how he viewed the
world through his eyes.
Fear not, for I am with you; Be not dismayed, for I am your GOD.I will strengthen you, yes, I will help you, I will uphold you withmy righteous right hand.
-Isaiah 41:10
