Peer Presentations

One peer presentation that affected me a lot was the one on teen suicide. It was easy to relate to, because I have had a few friends who have suffered from depression, and one of my friends even attempted suicide. I think the main focus of the presentation was that we often take the little things too seriously in our lives and let them pile up to create a very big problem. However, if we just sat back and evaluated the importance of all those little things in our lives, I think we would realize that everything didn't need to be taken so seriously. This presentation was really important to me because, as I stated earlier, one of my friends attempted suicide. I didn't know what the warning signs were and I didn't know how to deal with the situation, but now I feel that I am more educated and if the time should come again, I will be prepared with knowledge on how to deal with the situation.
