There was nothing particularly memorable about the cold winter Arkansas day when Ty killed himself.He got home and cheerfully greeted everyone as usual.Once dinner was ready,he joined the family for barbecued chicken.I noticed then that he wasn’t talking much.But it didn’t seem like anything was wrong.I had no idea it would be the last time I’d see him.

　　It was nearly 8 o’clock when I heard what sounded like breaking glass coming from Ty’s room.My dad went to find out what had happened,then my mom checked too before dragging me into their bedroom.Dad showed up and screamed:“He’s still got a pulse.We’re going to the emergency room!”

　　All of a sudden,an ambulance arrived,and we sped off.At the hospital,Mom and I were put in a private room while my dad checked on Ty.Mom explained to me that he had tried to kill himself.

　　Then my dad returned and shook his head as if to say:“Ty didn’t make it.” My mom passed out.I didn’t feel any emotion.Nothing made sense.

　　After Ty shot himself,my family alternated between tears and silence.I didn’t go to school for months.I went to therapy (治疗),but I did not like talking to a stranger.My best friend was always there for me,but she never pushed me to share.

　　The following spring,I had to do a project for a community-service class,and I realized my topic should be suicide (自杀) awareness.I thought if more people talked about it,maybe it wouldn’t happen to another teen.I organized a walkathon (步行马拉松).I was so comforted when I saw hundreds of people show up to support my family and other survivors who’d lost loved ones to suicide.
