It's Kind of a Funny Story (2010) | Teen Suicides
Matt D posted a topic in Reviews & Recommendations
I watched the movie 'It's Kind of a Funny Story". It was enjoyable and humorous due in large part to Zach Galifianakis, but afterwards I was left feeling unsettled by what I had watched. Take a look at this clip and see if you can guess why... It's Kind of a Funny Story (2010): http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0804497/ Thus I went ahead and made a video review of the movie, in which I discuss the larger issue of youth suicide. I sprinkle in some of my personal history dealing with depression as well. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AMCFBmNcc20&feature=youtu.be Here are some statistics in case you're interested. Youth suicide statistics in the US (2013): 4,878 suicides / year for youth between 15 and 24 Suicide is the 2nd largest cause of death among youth Estimated 100-200 attempted suicides for every death by suicide (youth) http://www.suicidology.org/Portals/14/docs/Resources/FactSheets/2011OverallData.pdf "Statistics indicate that males die by suicide more frequently than do females; however, reported suicide attempts and suicidal ideation are more common among females." http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gender_differences_in_suicide -
It is called Village Wisdom Podcast and available via iTunes here -- https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/village-wisdom-podcast/id916496501 The target audience is young women and teens so may not be appropriate for most here. I felt that I needed to fill in that gap a little bit in educating about peaceful parenting. And specifically I felt I needed to offer the wisdom from my own mistakes to hopefully make a difference in at least one child's life. My children are grown and have children of their own and I cannot get their childhood's back for them. However, i can reach other young women and attempt to stop them from making the mistake of having a child when you are still a child. I'm no philosopher but I have lots of life experience to share. I'm completely on board with peaceful parenting and working diligently to help that movement progress forward at an even more rapid pace. A more important focus of the podcast is being prepared -- really, really prepared -- for marriage or life partnership and having children. Peaceful parenting will be a no-brainer for these women. Thanks for listening and please post reviews and comments on iTunes as they will expect it and bug me about it. More importantly, it will help me get the word out.
