Love All; Reject None

So I just watched a movie tonight. It was titled To Save a Life. OH MY GOSH this movie was phenominal!!! If you haven't seen this movie you are missing out completely!!

This movie is easily a life changer. No, this movie is a life SAVER! I really encourage you to see the movie. It makes me think of the reality of teen suicide and rejection.

Here's the link to the trailer. Truly life changing:

According to the National Conference of State Legislatures (NCSL):

  • 19.3% of high school students have seriously considered killing themselves.
  • 14.5% of high school students made actual plans for committing suicide.
Suicide is the 3rd leading cause of death in people aged 15-24 (CDC).

Suicide is the 4th leading cause of death in children ages 10-14 (CDC).

If these statistics do not shock you then you are not human. It's unfortunate that OUR children and OUR children's FRIENDS are struggling with these awful thoughts. IF YOU HAVE ANY GOD LOVING BONE IN YOU PLEASE INVEST IN THE LIVES OF YOUR PEERS, FRIENDS, AND CHILDREN!!! It doesn't matter if you are 85 years old or 10 years old. JESUS SHOWED LOVE ON EARTH, AND WE SHOULD TOO!!!

Tell someone you love them tomorrow. You may be the only hope they have.
