This is what a suicidal teenager looks like.

I really think it's important people see this and we talk about mental health with our children. It's a reminder to me, be open about feelings, mental health should be talked about as easily as a cough or a cold. Struggling isn't anything to.be ashamed of.

This young man had everything going for him, bright, engaging, and loved. He isn't here anymore. His friends and family want people to see this, to see him amd the mask he wore.

As a mum to a teenager I'm sat here in tears. His poor parents. Every parent has the phobia terror and paranoia of something happening to their child. Its there with you constantly from the spilt second you give birth to them. It never goes away, not even for a second, and To lose them to suicide knowing they were in that much emotional pain and the fact that they will probably get no answers must be the worse imaginable ache, evermore.
Yes he may have had everything to live for. However that isn't a defence against the horrors and devastation of mental illness. Rich man poor man
King or pheasant depression knows no boundaries.

It is horrific awwlook........and really brought home to me that this could be my dc or any of my friends for.that matter.

Attitudes need to change, particularly towards men and young boys, 3/4 suicides are men.

The people who say masculinity is toxic are the same as those who say #maletears should be drunk from a cup and cackle because #masculinitysofragile. Why the hell would you trust anyone who thinks that way with your hurt, your pain, your misery or self loathing. They only see it as something you deserve and something to celebrate.
