Here are the notes from this section: Please excuse the roughness of them.
Son of 2 educators, started high school in 2004.
Family talks about success. The pressure on high school sports. Wanted to
Put unattainable goals:
9^th grade class president
10^th Driving test – snapped at driving instruction and dad. Thoughts of taking his own life
18.1 million depressed
Dad “like a cold”
Loss of interest in things that usually make you happy. Star player his senior year.
What is wrong – “I’m tired” brings in a duffle bag of alcohol
“I am no good, I am not a good son”
Barricaded the door.
Jumped out the window. Hit the ground going 50 miles an hour. Many breaks in coma for 5 days.
Sister “What happened?” You went out the window.
Every 2 hours a person under 25
Little by little he kept setting goals for himself.
“There is a reason for me to be hear. Sharing your story so others know you are not alone.”
“Jimmy is dead in the garage.”

“Such a good kid, he should not have died by himself.”
Suicide is not an act of choice – mental illness that is undiagnosed or untreated.
Turn a setback into a triumph – “we are going to do something to make this better.”

My goal: To walk at graduation. The only thing I see is my Dad. His proudest moment. I can’t get to the last step without my Dad being there.
“Thanks for being here dad. I love you.” I will never let you fall again. Depression is more about what is going on in the inside. Fell confident talking about what is going on.
Jordan still battles depression.
