Jon Young, “I’m From Temple Hills, MD”
(TRIGGER WARNING: Discussion of attempted suicide; gay slurs)
A man nearly commits suicide after being bullied and taunted at school. (Video transcription available here)
NOTE: If you’re dealing with any of the similar issues Jon went through–bullying, depression, suicidal thoughts–I hope you hear his message that suicide is never the answer, no matter what. There are a lot of people out there who are willing to listen and help. One of the most prominent non-profit organizations who are very eager to listen is The Trevor Project, so please give them a call if you feel the need: 1-866-4-U-TREVOR.
