My sister’s son is 15 years old. He’s a good Christian kid with a heavy interest in Catholicism. So anyways, he’s been home schooled for about 3 years. He doesn’t really have any friends, except for a few kids in his martial arts class. He’s a great person, he loves technology, but he’s not your stereotypical nerd. In fact, many people (especially girls his age) have said that he looks like a male model. Well last week he was staying at my parents house, as was I. He went down into the basement. After about 3 hours, I started getting worried. I went down there to find the bathroom door locked. I knocked. There was no answer. I unlocked it with my fingernail (it’s a pretty cheap lock) and I found my nephew, laying on his stomach with his belt tight around his neck. He was unconscious. I quickly got the belt off him and turned him over. His face was beat red and tears were rolling down his face. He started regaining consciousness. He didn’t even have the strength to open his eyes. They just kept closing. I rushed him upstairs and got him some water. I asked him what was going on down there, and he burst into tears. He said, “I give up! I’m done looking!” “Looking for what?” I asked. He replied “There just a bunch of whores (pardon the language), and they’re all going to Hell!” “Who?” I said. “The girls.” He started sobbing. “All they want is sex sex sex! I want to wait until marriage, but all girls want is to sleep with everyone they see! I’m sick of it! I hate them! Even Christian girls, they have sex with every boyfriend that they’ve been with. They say they’re gonna wait, but then they don’t!” My heart shattered. The same thing happened to my brother when he was 14, the same brother who punched himself every day, the same brother who slept with a knife under his bed, the same brother who became addicted to every drug he could find, the same brother who planned to burn down every church in his city. I told him that there are many girls who are waiting, but he called me a liar. His only source of what teens do is from the media. I really don’t want this poor boy to go through the Hell that my brother has been dealing with for ten years. What should I do? (Sorry this is so long)
Lord Jesus Christ, Merciful Redeemer, we ask Thee to attend those who are suicidal. Grant them the grace to recognize their problem and get the help they need.
