Save the Teens

"Save the Teens: Preventing suicide, depression and addiction" 

is a book written in hopes of saving some of our teens. A must read for parents, grandparents, and teens!

The book includes chapters on Cameron's final day, mental disorders, teen depression signs and symptoms, suicide, meth and addictions, and survival after suicide.

To further illustrate depression in a teen, Cameron's poetry, writings, and artwork are on the left pages (the right pages contain the facts and research for each chapter).

Teens -

They are amazing, confusing, fun-loving creatures! Yet they get stuck in depression and/or substance abuse and don't know how to get out without assuming the only way out is to end their lives!

This is shameful that our teens don't have resources in people to help them see the light.  If you are someone who cares about saving our teens, I applaud you!

You do not EVER want to experience what I did which was finding my son had ended his life. Although I knew he suffered from major depression and was addicted to meth, I prayed that he would pull through all his calamities and live a happy, healthy life. But this was not to be. His pain was greater than his desire to live on Thursday, August 11, 2005.

From Sandra Carrington-Smith, Mike Rumble,  Melissa Mitchell

The Save the Teens project is my desire to teach parents, teachers, and mentors of teens the signs of depression and substance abuse. The method is via brochures created for adults and a separate one for teens. A Save the Teens presentation is available for schools, civic groups - any group that has a desire to learn more about how to save the teens in their lives.

Contact Carolyn Zahnow to find out how.

Yes, there's hope and as long as we all believe in that, then we WILL save teens!
