In the United States alone, suicide is the third leading cause of death among young people, which results in about 4,000 deaths a year. Let me repeat that, 4,000 deaths a year. Even more shockingly, 14% of high school students have considered suicide and 7% have attempted it. Those numbers are terrifying and to help put a face and a story to those statistics, an extremely brave young girl named Kaelyn decided open up with her own struggles in a very public way.
Kaelyn took to YouTube and shared her very personal struggles with physical and sexual abuse and suicide. While she holds back tears, her heartbreaking message ends with a message of hope from those who have gone through similar struggles. Kaelyn reminds of us that regardless of what we are facing, it does get better.
