Troubled Teens Quotes

“Troubled and confused teenagers use suicide to cry out for help. The ideation sets them up for the act of crying out to everyone in their environment that something is wrong”
― Sara Niles, The Long Suicide: Losing Ariel

“Don't make a young person's behavior be about you. Never, "Oh, you're hurting me so much! You're going to be the end of me, but "It's hard to watch you hurting yourself this way." Teens will like your concern more if they feel it's for them and not yourself. Other ways of expressing your concern include: "You deserve better," and "You need to take better care of yourself.”
