RUSSIA The blue whale challenge was an online dating game for mentally unstable teenagers that was played for 50 days. Each day, the involved teenager had to complete one task that brought him closer to suicide. This girl was one of the victims of this game. Her name is Maria Ilyina and she was only 14 years old.

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.
