My heart is heavy right now bleeding for our children the suicide age in children is getting younger and younger. Parents please talk to your kids if your child is being bullied at school please go to the school and if nothing is done take your child out of the school home school the child or switch schools whatever it takes to keep your child safe and away from bullies please do all you can to protect your children. Your child will not tell you there hurting so please make a point to ask before its too late you do not want to be planning your child funeral when you could of talked it out and prevented the inevitable. Parents please be aware of the mood changes in your child because you are there voice until they can speak for themselves. You do not want to be saying the should of would of could have by then it would be too late. Parents please do whatever it takes to stop abuse in any shape or form when it comes to your children and all children in general be there voice before they make the wrong choice.

You raised a very important and difficult topic, but it must be said otherwise, for some it may be too late. I still have small children, but they have already started school and every day I watch and observe their moods and reactions. I ask, and if they don't say, I'm close and support. I always tell them that even if they are afraid of something, they can tell me anything, no matter what.

This is good because we are the ones that speak on there behalf we are the ones that God has entrusted them too So it is are responsibility to keep watch over them as a shepherd keeps watch over his sheep. We must nuture and care for them and love them no matter what.

You could start by having adults assure children they can talk to them. Most children will answer 'i'm fine' when asked, becaise they don't feel they can speak to the adults in their lives. Pushing a child to talk, will only enforce those walls. So all adults (not just parents) make sure kids know they can talk to you. There's a right way and a wrong way to talk to a kid. And, pushing when they put those walls up will only make them want to hide behind them more.

Good point if it forced they will shut down. Communication is a 2 way as long as both parties are open the adults and the children. As long as both parties know that there is an understanding. Its all about keeping the lines of communication open at all times. Sometimes the adult have too come down to the child level and make a connection with them so that they feel safe and comfortable to talk.
