- My attention was jerked away from our evening meal last night as I heard
- a report on network news of a cluster or group of teen age suicides in Little
- Rock, Arkansas. The memory of the emotional hurt and the bewilderment that
- occurred in my own community when we suffered a similar group of tragedies
- made these events even more painful. But adolescent suicide is preventable
- when caring family and friends listen attentively to these youngsters, share
- feelings, and are honest about their concern. There is an excellent booklet
- published by the American Academy of Pediatrics that is most helpful in this
- situation. It is called "Surviving: Coping with Adolescent Depression and
- Suicide" And you can obtain your free copy by sending your request and a
- stamped self addressed envelope to the: American Academy of Pediatrics, Dept.
- C., 141 Northwest Point Blvd., P.O. Box 927, Elk Grove Village, IL 60009.
- Everyone can profit from reading the thoughtful advice and counsel it
- contains.
