Suicides have plagued Midland

So Midland, TX has a huge problem among teens…

What is the solution to this problem? How do we combat against this storm? We are having celebrities like Tim Tebow, quarterback for the Denver Broncos as a guest speaker in our town, this will be good for our community. A local celebrity Baron Batch who is a Midland High School graduate and professional football player for the Pittsburg Steelers has published articles on this issue and plans to speak to our secondary schools. We have teachers, counselors, and principles tackling the subject in the classroom opening up the forum for kids to reach out to them. We cannot let this beat us, and yes we are all included in this. These are our children we are talking about and this cancer needs to stop before it spreads and affects us directly. God is greater than this and with His help we can defeat anything.

"We need a hero, courageous sacrificing people, setting examples for all of us. Everybody loves a hero, people line up for 'em, cheer for them, scream their names, and years later tell how they stood in the rain for hours just to get a glimpse of the one who told them to HOLD ON a second longer. I believe there’s a hero in all of us that keeps us honest, gives us strength, and makes us noble. And finally gets us to die with pride. Even though sometimes we have to be steady and give up the thing we want most, even our dreams." –Aunt May Parker (Spider-Man 2, 2004)


As it turns out I have checked myself into the game. I will fight for my people. I’m not going to stand here and let it affect my community. I may just be one voice, one teacher, one coach, but my ripple will collide and impact others in some way. God gave us life and put us in this world for a reason. I believe that it is to come together as one community, state, nation, and world to protect one another against evil especially the ones we love. We will fight to the death for our love ones.
