While bullying doesn’t cause suicide, a stressful environment and persistent, emotional victimization can increase a person’s risk of suicide. Together, we can create awareness about the dangers of bullying and give emotional support to those who may be contemplating suicide. If you or someone you know is in an emotional distress or suicidal crisis, please call the Lifeline at 1-800-273-TALK (8255).

Don’t end your life.

You are so beautiful and unique in every single way. You have a light, a dream that you will fulfill in life. Things may seem bleak, and when it seems as though all hope is lost, when it seems as if the universe is acting against you, that is when you keep fighting.

Here are some ways you can cope with depression:

Reach out to a friend/family member/teacher/co-worker.

Consult a counselor and talk about your problems.

LGBTQ? Use the Trevor Project: (tel:[phone]) they are available to you 24/7 and will work with you via email, phone call, or text messaging!

Just need to talk to someone? The National Suicide Prevention Hotline( 1 [phone]) is also available 24/7 and they offer great advice and help!

Find things that you enjoy doing (i.e. hobbies, cooking, listening to music, sports, games, watching TV, sleep, etc.) It will help take your mind off of things for a while.

Attend a group therapy counseling! Check with your city and see if there is a place that offers this service. You can hear other people’s stories and share your own as well!

Perceived Burdensomeness and Suicide-Related Behaviors in Clinical Samples (Ryan M. Hill and Jeremy W.Pettit)

Factors of future suicide attempts

Perceived Burden

”Comprised primarily of the belief that one’s self has become a burden to others or that one’s existence is a drain on the resources of others or on society as a whole.”

Suicide Ideation

”Thoughts of killing oneself”

Thwarted Belongingness

 “Social belongingness is prevented”

Negative Urgency

“People with this trait tend to react to stressful situations by acting in a rash or reckless manner. In addition, people affected by negative urgency tend to have problems getting along with others or considering others’ feelings. They also typically have “neurotic” characteristics such as unusual self-consciousness and a marked tendency toward depressed or “down” moods.”
