My brother, Alexander passed away in 2006 from a heart defect and now I keep a blog in his memory to reach out to other kids and families and do acts of kindness in my brothers name. I found your site and wanted to give you Alexanders award for having a site that spreads the message of hope and love. I don't know how to do html so please visit my blog www.alexandersheart.blogspot.com and copy the award to put on your site. If you wish, give this award to 3-5 other blogs or sites you feel share the message of hope and love as well. God bless, Hailey Hi, my name is Hailey and I’m 12 years old.

What I hope this site, and the book, can say to you is "Don't give up!" So many survivors I know, myself included, have felt as you do. The majority of the people interviewed for the book were suicidal at one point or another in their lives. The key thing is that they held on. They kept telling until they got help that REALLY HELPED. (That means telling friends, family that you trust, social workers, school counselors, parents of friends, other survivors, therapists, pastors, pets, etc.) And then they kept working on healing. Don't let the unjust justice system stop you from healing your own life. There is an and to abuse, to the depression and isolation that often follows, to the feelings of helplessness and rage. Finding this website means that you are already reaching out. Keep it up. Someday you will look back and be amazed at the distance you will have come. And you will appreciate the courage that it took to survive your childhood and to live the life of your own choosing. Carolyn Dear Courtney–
