Probably the last day I got to see my friend ever. (Jack) He gave me a eraser and said to remember him by it. I gave him my phone number again and told him if he ever got a phone again, to keep in contact. My mom put up the Christmas tree. I have 1 more days to write my NaNoWriMo story and I just reached my inciding incedent and am olny at 4,200 words. In science we had a suicide prevention talk and it made me uncomfortable. Knowing I'm one of the type of people the are talking about.

Responses to the 2010 Washington Healthy Youth Survey showed that 18 percent of tenth graders (about 15,000 students) seriously thought about attempting suicide during the 12 months prior to the survey. Seven percent of tenth-graders (about 6,000 students) reported making a suicide attempt in the 12 months prior to the survey.

Responses by sixth-graders on the 2010 Washington Healthy Youth Survey showed that 14 percent (about 11,000 students) had ever seriously considered killing themselves and that 5 percent (almost 4,000 students) had ever tried to kill themselves.
