P REVENTION A ND H ELPING Y OURSELF BY: Thania Perez Period 2

S LIDE 2: My section is about things that can help you prevent suicide. It talks about how suicide is never a solution no matter how overwhelming the problem is.

There are positive steps that you can take even if your problem is bad and you feel embarrassed about it. You don’t have to deal with a problem alone. You will always have at least one person to talk to that can give you advice.

S LIDE 3 The main idea of my section is on suicide and ways you can prevent it.

S LIDE 4 If you are about to commit a suicide, for instance, like jump off a building, you should talk to an adult or a professional counselor about it before. You can go to crisis centers and suicide prevention hotlines to help you with your problem.

It is important for the class to know this because people can commit suicide themselves. The good thing is that there are places that can have solutions to your problems.

S LIDE 5 There was a guy who had problems with his family and was stressed out that it caused him to kill his family inside the house and burned it down.

In order for him to accomplish this horrific event he flew a jet and crashed it into a building to commit suicide. He was too depressed and couldn’t take it anymore. Unfortunately, two people died of this horrible tragedy as well.

S LIDE 6 I think this topic is very important because it talks about ways on how to control yourself from suicide. The key points I want the class to remember is how suicide is never a solution and that there are places that can help you with your problems and maybe even prevent suicide.

S LIDE 7 My section is about how there are positive ways you can prevent suicide. For example, you can talk to them nicely and make them feel good about themselves as well as listening to them carefully.
