The statistics are scary. Suicide takes the lives of about 30,000 Americans each year. 1 out of 8 suffer from drug or alcohol addiction in the U.S. alone. Worldwide, over 120 million suffer from depression. The third leading cause of death in our age group is suicide. Love IS the movement – take that extra minute to ask your friends how they’re doing, talk to the ones you may be concerned about and reach out for help if you yourself are struggling. Love yourself, love each other.
