Suicidal Prevention
Suicide is not the answer to the problem.
Three Signs of Depression
Attitude Change- If someone changes the way they act all of a sudden, ask them if they are ok. This is a sign that they may be depressed and they may need help.
Hopelessness- If someone is constantly saying things like...
"There's no hope."
"I'm worthless."
"I don't care anymore."
They are most likely depressed.
Drug Use- People sometimes resort to drugs to solve their problems when depressed, that will only make it worse. They need help.
Three Warning Signs of Suicide
Withdrawal of Friends/Family- When people shut themselves out from everyone they know, they are most likely suicidal.
Saying "I want to die"- If someone is saying they want to die, that is a sign that they are thinking about suicide.
Not eating- Suicidal people sometimes quit eating so they will starve.
3 Signs of Self-Harm
Picking/Scratching- Scratching skin causing bleeding and damage to skin.
