CHINA The Chinese teen girl was struggling with mental problems that drove her to the edge of the river bridge. She stood on the edge for a while and was persuaded by passers-by not to jump. But she disobeyed them and jumped. In the strong river current, it didn’t take long before she drowned. Rescue forces then only had to pull her corpse out of the river.
If you’re thinking about suicide, please stop and recognize that your pain is not permanent, but this step would be. It may feel like there’s no other way, but there is hope, even if it’s hard to see right now. Your feelings are temporary, and with help, they can pass.
Talking about what you're going through might feel difficult, but it’s the first step toward healing. Don’t turn away from the people who want to support you. Life can offer more than what you're feeling right now, and the pain doesn't have to last forever. You deserve help, and it’s available.
If you need immediate help, please contact a helpline.
