[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Take him to the beach for a 2 week vacation with no TV and no cell etc. Only a radio for music and no headphones- take card games, a puzzle, crossword, sudoku etc. Walk on the beach barefoot for at least an hour everyday.
Children need the healing power of the earth to be happy. It will cost as much as a few months in therapy- but more fun and a good life lesson.
Tell him he does not need to be good at anything- this is a horrible high school thing. He needs to find something he likes to do where he can contribute.
Suicide has been proven to be an impulse choice. Keep developing his frontal lobe so impulses aren't his only choice.
Suicide is also a shame reaction. Make sure he realizes this and can defuse the shame himself whenever it crops up.
Remind him that the hormones are the strongest now and will lessen in a year.[/quote]

+2. Like this advice.

Why are so many teens suicidal/depressed/screwed up these days?  I don't remember kids being like this when I was growing up.  [/quote]Because people hid it. [/quote]
