βIf you or someone you know is struggling with mental health, please reach out to the 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline by calling or texting 988,β they wrote.

According to data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, suicide is the second-leading cause of death among youth ages 10-14 in the U.S. Further, one-fifth of high-schoolers report serious thoughts about suicide while 9% report a suicide attempt.
Nonprofit National Alliance on Mental Illness encourages individuals who are concerned for loved ones to βseek help and support before the crisis emerges.β
βIf you or someone you love begins to feel worried but doesnβt feel in immediate danger of acting on thoughts of self-harm or suicide, then steps should be taken to find help for care and support,β the organization wrote on its website. βThis help can be from a pediatrician, primary health care provider, or a mental health clinician.β
