The Problem

I trying to bring to light the issues of teen depression and suicide. I want to help people out there understand that suicide isnt the only choice.

Why It's Important

Im the type of person that doesnt need to personally know someone to want to help them. Im starting an organization at my high school to raise money for scholarships. A young boy a few weeks ago committed suicide at my school and was found by his little brother. I want to show people that theres always another choice and that thier need. Thats why ive began Allan (Alive, Living, Learning, Aware, Needed) named after the little boy that passed. Why do something? I choose to do somthing because anyone can make a difference.

The Plan Of Action

Step 1:Get Teachers and SLC (Student Leadership) to get involved. Step 2: Type up a plan to show to the school administration. Step 3:Set up an assmebly for the school to hear information on organization. Step 4:Get speaker to come and communicate with students. Step 5: Raise money to form a scholarship. Students have already thanked me and the organization isnt already started.

How Can Others Get Involved?

 
Give ideas on how I could make things better.
