This month is about #SuicidePrevention . Some of you may already know, but my brother, Tanton, took his life four days ago. He was fifteen. This is just a short thread of some things about him.
1. He recently made the tennis team at McKinney High School. He actually won a match last week.

It’s okay to struggle. It’s okay to feel alone. It’s okay to be angry, or frustrated, or cry. But it’s also okay to admit that you’re not doing okay.
Please check up on your loved ones. Not just this month, but whenever you have the chance. And if you ever feel alone, please call the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline at 800-273-8255. Or contact the Crisis Text Line by texting TALK to 741741
If you can, our family is taking donations until October 15th. We’ll be donating all of the proceeds to the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention. https://gf.me/u/yvwwzs
