Something tragic happened very close to me, my family, and the Read On! community. This morning, an 8th grade boy took his own life. Every day parents are burying their children, classmates have an empty seat in their classroom, teachers have papers that will never be returned.

I want to personally urge everybody that if you ever feel sick of it all, that life can't get any better, that this isn't worth it anymore, please seek help. It doesn't mean you're crazy, it doesn't mean you can't be happy or see the beautiful things in life once again. It doesn't mean that you are weak, but quite the opposite. You are stronger than you know. You are more amazing than even you know. We believe in you. Call 1-800-273-8255 or visit www.CrisisChat.org for somebody to talk to. You are not alone.
