  • My Teen Son's Friend Committed Suicide

    Sorry to post this on a money board. But, it is difficult to talk about. I hope teens and others can learn that nothing is worth resorting to that. I really don't know all the details but it is so tragic and heartbreaking of a life lost. Please pray for that family.

        ((Hugs)) Take care of your son, too. He might need support as he deals with the loss.

          Now a days , Teenagers face a host of pressures, from the changes of puberty to questions about who they are and where they fit in. The natural transition from child to adult can also bring parental conflict as teens start to assert their independence.
          There are as many misconceptions about teen depression as there are about teenagers in general. Yes, the teen years are tough, but most teens balance the requisite angst with good friendships, success in school or outside activities, and the development of a strong sense of self. Occasional bad moods or acting out is to be expected, but depression is something different. Depression can destroy the very essence of a teenager’s personality, causing an overwhelming sense of sadness, despair, or anger.
          ‘In company with Christ,
          Who died and now lives,
          may they rejoice in Your kingdom,
          where all our tears are wiped away.
          Unite us together again in one family,
          to sing Your praise forever and ever ’.
