Suicide Prevention From a loving parent, to his/her teenage son/daughter Honey, I promise that I will always be involved—to some degree-- in your life, while trying not to be an intrusive pest STOP what I’m doing and listen when you need to talk (Exception: if I’m in the middle of a true emergency and absolutely can’t stop) support you in every reasonable way I can think of be your parent first, then your friend pray for you daily I Promise I will NOT ignore subtle or obvious changes in your general demeanor (I WILL ask questions because I care.) say something really stupid like, “Oh, just ignore them. Show them how mature you are!” if you tell me you’re being bullied tell you you’re right when I KNOW you’re not—just to avoid a debate—because I love you too much to be a coward September 5, 2015 entered in Laura Loo's Suicide Prevention Week Contest
