This week in guidance class we had guess speakers from the Samaritans group. They came in to talk about how people especially teenagers are committing suicide due to different things that are occurring in their life. They told us about how the Samaritans work and that it is confidential to talk to them. We learned that over 50% of the Samaritans callers were males, which surprised our class as we assumed it was mostly young females. We were shown a DVD about three people at a friends funeral. Their friend had committed suicide for reasons unknown but they then explain how each of them were in situations where they were once suicidal. After the short video we were handed out sheets with certain situations on them. We had to write down our feelings on them and how to deal with them.
