My name is Lindsay and I lost my cousin Jarid to suicide in 2003. He was 15 years old and was bullied in high school, along with having to live with an alcoholic mother and step-father who verbally abused him. More than likely he was physically abused also. Our family (our grandparents, my parents, and his brother Jesse) did not know he was going through all of this. It will be 10 years since he's been gone in June, but I still fight the pain of losing him. Some days are worse than others, but I try to turn it into something positive.
That is why I am here, because I am seeking out those individuals who just need someone to LISTEN or to give them advice. I may not have been able to save his life, but maybe through this chat (as impersonal as it can be sometimes) I will be able to save someones else's life. This is my motivation.
Take care everyone, and don't ever feel your life isn't worth something. It may not seem like it is at this point, but I can guarantee that your life is worth a TON to someone else. Don't give up. :smile-new::smile-new:
