At a young age I started battling depression.
How could a child feel that God has abandoned him/ her? To pray for death, what could possibly have been so horrible for a child? So sad for a child to have such feelings.
Children should never feel such things, NEVER!
We as adults need to teach our children to love all! Not look down or bully someone because of the brand of shoes or color of skin. We should be a shamed of the numbers rising among the death of our children!
Just in my home town there has been three suicides of teens in the year of 2018 and its only June. I'm not sure of the statistics but people that is WRONG we need more programs, awareness, resources for our children our babies!
My heart aches so much for these kids and families that are going through these tragedies.

BECOME AWARE:
- Changes in behavior, are they isolating themselves more, tired all the time, no energy to shower or do simple things they have always done.
- Negative talk, I hate myself, I hate life, etc..
- Angry
We as parents, family members, friends and compassionate beings owe it to OUR CHILDREN to pay attention, open the lines of communication, show that they are special and loved, to support them. It truly takes a village to raise a child, doesn't matter who's child. All children are Gods gift to us its our responsibility to love and care for all!
