Suicide Prevention Week (stolen from Happyhuskykoma)

General
Hello Shadow here with a bit of a somber, but Important meme and announcement for the 3rd Annual suicide prevention day and Suicide Prevention Week on Furaffinity , so help me spread the love.
To the Fandom:
September 4th – 10th is National Suicide Prevention Week, and, what shall become a Suicide Prevention/awareness week across Furaffinity, but, we need your help! As many of you know, we have lost several members even in our own fandom, family, and friends...those for whatever reasons, chose to take their own lives.
The goal of this meme is to spread the word, yes it happens, and yes, we can help. This isn't a self-righteous or self-gaining meme; rather, it is somewhat of a Public Service Announcement.
Please, help this spread like wildfire, let everyone know, there ARE those in the fandom they can coincide in, who are willing to talk to them, and are willing to do our best to help. If we can save even just one, it will all be worth it.
Life has its ups and downs, it isn't all easy, but, we have to make the most of every moment we have. There is no replacing a life thrown away. Trust me, I know all too well pains and heartbreaks...Quite honestly I have been at a very low point in my life...but I wish to continue because I have seen time and time again...and I have had some amazing friends show me that fact....It get's better, I promise.
To those who just need someone to listen, those on that edge, please, if you ever need to talk to me, if I’m on, I will do as much as I can to help. I won’t judge or yell, I only want to help. There are others who are willing to help as well.
Just know this if I am not online….
You are...
Worthy to be loved and to love others
Worthy to be cared for and to help care for others
Worthy to be nurtured and to nurture others
Worthy to be touched and supported
Worthy to be listed to and listen to others
Worthy to be recognized
Worthy to be encouraged and to encourage others
Worthy to be reinforced as “good”
No one is perfect, but, that doesn't mean life isn't worth living…please…just hang on…it gets better!
If anything else…please listen to

A lot of this message is primarily leaning to teens, but, this applies to everyone, regardless of age, gender, religion, race, sexuality, political stance, anything…please…each life is precious, help us support each other as a community!
To all artist out there..I humbly ask you......please, if you have the time and care for this week, to make ONE picture, one story, one sketch, one painting, one song......that shouts out to all who see it "life is worth living" and "We will stand strong"
Thank you....and ...forgive me for the times I am weak....
I made a promise to everyone near and dear to me that I would do best to be happy, healthy, and successful....I promised myself too for what it's worth. All I ask if that you all make the same promise, and I'll have no regrets.
