one of my friends committed suicide and i think if we had the hope squad when he was here we might of been able to help him, because of what happend with him and everything else that happened that year i joined hope squad it was a great thing for the school i think it helped a lot.

Our school started this program last year. Although, I must say some of my friends come up to me and say "Why would I tell them about my suicidal thoughts?" I think that this club has helped many students struggling. Thanks to the hope squad in AF :)
