Thank you so much for such a wonderfully thought out message that is so desperately needed. I hope and pray that God uses it to help those who are looking for answers. As one of those young women who had no idea how I was going to do it, I would just like them to know, it can be done and God will help you through it. One step, one day, one little life, it all adds up to wonderful things.

You are very courageous for sharing your story and I hope that it helps others. I would add that even those fake attempts, or those that are seen as a cry for help, are cries for help that should be listened to. Those who resort to this kind of thing in order to have others reach out to them, do so because they can think of no other way to open communication about what they are feeling or what they are going through. It might seem fake or unreal, but the feelings behind it are feelings that are very real and for some reason cannot be dealt with in a mature way. Kudos to you for sharing your story in order to help others.
