To Write Love on Her Arms - 2nd Annual (Suicide Prevention)

The information below came from my daughter's Facebook notifications ~
{We are participating today... will you join us?}

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~



I think some people are confused about what this event is. All you have to do is literally write the word LOVE on your arm to show support, maybe even donate some money or time at your local suicide hotline, or suicide or teen help line. You write it on your arm, so that when someone asks... why is that on your arm? you can spread the word about depression and suicide.Because for some reason in our society depression and suicide are still taboo topics, a lot pf people want to keep quiet, but everyone needs to start talking about it.

On November 13 go around writing LOVE on your arm in big letters, be creative, use colored sharpies or washable markers, spread the word.

this is for all the survivors.
all the innocent
who aren't loved
all the kids who are hurting and suicide is the only place they can turn.

Also, don't forget to donate so kids in need can get the help they deserve. It takes thirty seconds to write four letters. I challenge you to stand up and speak out!

Help is out there, and by keeping quiet we're only hurting the people who need the help. Many people who suffer from depression and have struggled with suicidal thoughts. This event is meant to raise awareness on how severe this disease is. Depression and suicide have an impact on everyone whether its through having depression or knowing someone who does or someone who committed suicide. It's so simple to do. Its time to stand up and get the word out. Maybe someday there will be a cure for this instead of just a treatment of medicine that can actually make it worse.So speak up, and speak out!
