I'm in...I'm adding that to my reading list. I'm in my early 23s and still feel like 'adults just don't get it' when it comes to teen suicide. People don't seem to understand that it's not about how YOU perceive the world. If you say or do something to someone, you can't control how they perceive that action. This hits home because I remember being very young (younger than high school) and thinking about suicide. I don't even know how I knew that word, yet. Worst of all, the few adults I tried to confide treated my issues like they were nothing. To an adult mind, those issues may seem trivial; in reality, they are trivial. That doesn't matter when one's mental state views the issue as a life or death situation. <br /><br />I talk openly about how I felt when I was a child and why I felt that way. From people who are more than 20 years older than me, I get a shrug and off hand 'well, it's super you didn't do it.' People my own age still get it. We still remember how it felt to be bullied and feel like the world hates you. To feel alone in how you feel as if you have been singled out for despair. I hope people who read this book have a similar experience to you and keep an eye for someone who may be in need of help.

...Just added it to my long list of books to read =)<br /><br />I think teen suicide is becoming more and more common. Which is so sad. I think a lot of it has to do with the social website filled world we live in now. You don't have to be picked on at school in front of anyone. Bullies don't have to show their faces. It can be done through your computer or even your phone all alone in your room. There wasn't Myspace, Facebook, or Twitter when I was in school and I'm glad! <br /><br />I'll definitely read this book.
