WHY WHY WHY??

I have been following a story that grieves me beyond belief. The suicide epidemic in Wales.

Look at the pictures of those young people. People committing suicide because it's "Popular".

Here is what Suicide is really like when you hang yourself. From two experts:

Strangulation by hanging can take several minutes and is a far more excruciating experience than people know. The carotid arteries in the neck, which supply blood to the brain, are compressed, and the brain swells so much it ends up plugging the top of the spinal column; the Vagal nerve is pinched, leading to something called the Vagal reflex, which stops the heart; and the lack of oxygen getting to the lungs due to compression of the trachea eventually causes loss of consciousness due to suffocation. Death then follows in the same pattern as it does when the neck breaks, with the entire process ending in anywhere from five to 20 minutes.

and this

Suddenly everything you hear or see becomes a blur. You try to breath, but the rest of your body is no longer with you. Your thoughts and your brain chemicals run wild. Since your heart was pumping very hard from fear, or excitement, or whatever, your brain cells are full of oxygen, and they last for a while after your neck has long broken. You try to grasp every last bit of consciousness, knowing that everything is about to end and, if you believe in the afterlife, everything else is about to begin. Suddenly you're alone with yourself (or rather, without). Blood pressure keeps dropping rapidly. Your head aches badly from the lack of oxygen. All you feel is pain as your brain dies down little by little. AND ALL THAT LAST FOR A GOOD SEVERAL MINUTES.

There is only one answer for this, His name is JESUS. He brings a hope and a future. These are kids without hope trapped in a hopeless lifestyle. We must snatch these back from the fires of HELL.
