These beautiful children have left us too soon.

They won’t graduate high school.They’ll never fall in love.They’ll never chase their dreams.

All because they believed they were less than human.

The next 20 slides are just a few of those lost…

These kids didn’t have to die.

But they felt that taking their own lives was the only way to end the pain.

There are many, many more out there that are gone because of bullying.

If you ever want a heartbreaking wake-up call, simply type “Teen suicide bullying” into Google images. But be

prepared.

Reach out to the teens in your community. Get involved. Show them they are never alone.

Show them life isn’t better without them.
