The Problem

I am a suicide survivor, abuse victim, recovering self harmer, and I really want to make a difference. Our generation is losing too many teenagers. My organization is to raise awareness to and prevent teen suicide, abuse, rape, and self harm; praising teen love. A by teens for teens organization, that wants to break the silence and make a difference.

Plan of Action

I have created a club in my school for the organization that meets every friday. We are going to march in our homecoming parade and have a booth that explains the organization, the problems of teen suicide, abuse, rape, self harm, stereotypes, and LGBT.

The members of the BTRmovement came together and marched in Columbia, Maryland, with signs of statistics about teen suicide, abuse, rape, and self harm. As they chanted things to get the crowd involved and marched lively they made a huge impact.
After the parade they attended a tailgate where they sold handmade BTR bracelets, and raised over $90.
