This week, a young member of our community took her own life before she could experience all the best life has to offer. Suicide is always tragic, but when our young people believe there is nothing worth living for and decide to leave us, it is especially tragic.
Sadly, suicide is the 2nd leading cause of death for children ages 10-14.
