Cawthra Park PSA - Teen Suicide/Depression

Teen Suicide and Depression PSA by Desiree Das Gupta. Special thanks goes to Caroline, Connie and Sarah. *I reserve no rights over any of the images used in this video.* Song: The Boy Who Blocked His Own Shot by Brand New.

****Hey everyone! at the end of this PSA there are two websites provided. if you would like to get involved here are a couple ways that you can go about it:

http://www.canadiancrc.com/Youth_Suicide_in_Canada.aspx is a great informative website that can give you more facts about this issue and will raise your awareness!

www.twloha.com
To Write Love on Her Arms is a non-profit organization seeking to raise awareness and support for those who need help. personally this is my favourite site because TWLOHA is supported by a vast amount of musicians. to help out you can join their street team and actively be part of their group, you can donate money, or you can buy one of their many tshirts. hopefully mine is coming soon :) there are many other ways you can help so make sure you visit this site!

thanks to everyone who commented and anyone who is willing to get involved.

Suicide is a pathetic, and nothing more than an attempt to attract the attention of others. And for those who do this because they are 'suffering', are clearly oblivious to what real suffering is.

[laurenblaiwais]

good job,

proud of ya

[Colombian93]

Pretty nice and informative. Sucks going through it, but it's a reality. 5/5 :]

Great job, D! Loved the song & the choice of images. I can tell you did some serious research on this. I'm a big fan of TWLOHA, too. Would liked it if you had let the website URL's hang a few second longer, as well as your final bit of text.

Overall, though, very powerful stuff. Such an important issue for people to talk about. Hopefully you can find more ways to take action in the future--YPI project, perhaps? (BTW, I creeped some of your music vids--cool!!!)

Well done, D! --Tosh

[guitarmaster39]

After hearing about the death of Courtney Primo, a great student and friend from my school i began to realize how important this issue is. You clearly displayed your message well here and i think it's good for all of us to take a look at this video and see how serious this issue has become. Excellent song choice also btw. You've opened the eyes to many people who could not see the problem and i pray this continues to grow daily. A job well done!!! :D
