if you feel hopeless, helpless,

and are even contemplating taking your own life:

Please don’t ever think that you need to kill yourself to escape your pain.

Please don’t put your friends, family, and your parents through it because their pain will be everlasting when they lose you.

Life will get better.

You just have to give it a chance.
