Suicide / Question
Published: August 31, 2009
Dear TeenHealthFX,
Hi. About a couple of months ago, I wrote a letter to you guys signed "I might kill myself". I just thought that I should let you guys know that my life has changed for the better. I don't cut anymore, neither do I take painkillers or have suicidal thoughts. I followed your advice when I received your reply and ever since things have gotten ALOT better for me. So I just wanted to thank you very much for everything that you've done and I also wanted to tell other teens out there that there is always hope, don't give up on life things will get better. Thanks again!!
