Teen Suicide in Tioga County

I feel like this project has done a lot for me.  I feel as if I will be able to help anyone that may be struggling now.  When I first started this project, I thought that I was going to learn about the causes and what we can do about teen suicide.  I feel like I have learned so much more. I know how to help survivors. I learned how to educate people on this epidemic.  I also learned how much of a problem it is locally as well as nationally. I think this project will also help me connect with new people.  I was able to get closer with the person I interviewed and with everyone that read my piece.
