If you have kids read this.

I got a call from the police yesterday while I was at work telling me they were taking my son to the hospital because he tried to kill himself. He's been in ICU since yesterday and I have no idea what's going to happen. He slit his wrists and took a bunch of pills and I have no idea why. He has been suffering from mental problems, he is seeing 2 counselors, a Psychologists and a Psychiatrist and is on medication and none of it has done any good. I've already lost one child to mental health and I'm about to lose another one. When I checked is phone, he had texted over 20 of his so called friends and told them he was gonna kill his self and not a single one tried to do anything to stop it. This is the message I'm trying to get across to anyone that has kids, mental health can kill your kids just as fast as cancer, a car crash, or a bullet. If you notice anything in your child's behavior that doesn't seem right you need to check on it, even if it means invading their privacy. Check their phones and any social media accounts they have, search there rooms, talk to there friends, whatever you have to do. Even if your lucky enough to have good healthy kids you still need to talk to them about this stuff, I would be willing to bet that they have friends going through problems like my son, and they could have the power to save a life if they are informed. Tell them that if any of there friends talk about hurting themselves they need to tell someone and not to think it's a joke. I just don't want anyone else to go through what I've been through. If my story can help safe just one persons life than it's worth the time for me to post it.
