Every suicide will have survivors. Suicide is an act that causes a ripple effect. This means that it does not only affect the victim it also effects their friends and families. It affects the other people around them that may be struggling themselves. It affects the community.
Robbies Hope. Robbie's Hope is a organization that should be known as a resource to parents and children. I personally did not know Robbie. However I did go to high school with him. He was a sophomore when I was a senior. While I did not know him I did feel the effects of the pure devastation. This for me opened my eyes to the ripple effect that teen suicide has on a community as a whole. Suicide does not stop any type of pain, it just passes it on to others. If you have the time I strongly encourage you to watch the clip attached.
