Army of Angels
"We've Got Lives to Fight For!"
Army of Angels is Jessica's personal project! AOA is a site dedicated to Suicide Prevention & Awareness!!! Please stay tuned for more info as this idea is still under construction and in progress! Until then, check out the info below and spread the light and the love! xoxo
So many people suffer in silence and don’t seek the help they need. "2 out of 3 people who commit suicide have talked about it to family and friends." There are usually “warning signs” for the person who is thinking about taking their own life. Suicide is a permanent solution to a temporary problem. Most suicidal people desperately want to live; they are just unable to see alternatives to their problems. They can’t see the light at the end of the tunnel and struggle alone in hopelessness and feel that suicide is the only way out of their pain. "Suicide claimed 32, 439 lives in 2004, which breaks down to 89 suicides per day,...1 every 16 min." and "4, 316 were completed by people of ages 15-24."
