dear Mistiis


It is biography's like yours that will help create a dialogue about suicide.....yes i agree that young children should be educated in all aspects of life....and emotion's should be top of any junior school curriculum.

For a start off lets get rid of that horrible saying 'BIG BOYS DONT CRY'

By suppressing infant emotion we store up trouble later in life, not necessarily suicidal tendency..but we close doors on humans feeling free to express emotion with other human beings... for fear of ridicule, stereotyping, and castigation.

Sadly many of our young people nowadays seek solace and answers to their emotions through man made stimuli..............alcohol/drugs/music/gangs/.........this only isolates them more from searching for truthful answers....

Suicide in the UK is prevalent at present in under 25 year old's..........cannabis and cocaine, along with drink and ecstasy tablets are major factors in an increase in psychosis in this age group.......70% of the young men at my hostel are suffering mental health issues due to addiction... many do not know how to express their emotions verbally.........and to do so is seen as weak by many of their peers...........so solitary self exploration continues with addiction until they reach a point to realise people care about their well being ...................


PETERS beliefs were and are very thought provoking messages and are the basis of coping and recovery...............sadly many people fear talking to others about their desperation for fear of being ignored by others

CRYING WOLF........................[Peter...wolf...there is basis here alone to see a real connection]

if barriers can be brought down to address emotions.... peters coping stratergies could easily be administered to help the healing process..


For example .......if anyone has ever experience a PANIC ATTACK or ANXIETY ATTACK.......You will remember its debilitating effects, the terror it installs and that feeling of impending doom.............im going to die feeling....

Once seen by a medical proffessional and educated about the symptoms of theses bodily burgalar alarms ...............99% of people seek ways through medication, therapy, life style change, stress reduction etc etc... learn to reduce or eliminate the attacks and more importantly understand the reasons of the attack and know it is a natural self defence mechanism.

if only humans could understand suicidal thoughts like this explanation it may reduce the fatalities that world wide every day occur ...................
