Suicide Letters of A Teenager

By Marcus L. Darwinn

What I would like you to do reading this book as a teen or parent is to learn how you could effectively reach out to these teens. Teens imagine you are the parent, best friend, or it’s a close family member. What advice would you give to help them make it through? If you are dealing with the same issue write down what you expect from your love ones in a journal. Parentsif you are reading this you keep a
journal also. Imagine these are your kids and think about how you can better help them. If both parties are in agreement, use these letters to better connect with your teens by seeing what goes thru their minds.

Reviews for Suicide Letters of A Teenager

[MoniqueDavis · Rating: 1 out of 5 stars]

Best seller? Is this some kind of joke? Has idiocracy come true? This book is awful. Grammatical errors throughout, inaccurate information, faulty advice. I was excited about this thinking it would be a collection of real letters from teens following a description of how they came out of the situation, what helped, what didn't help, etc. Instead, it is short one paragraph impersonal descriptions/ cliched scenarios followed by one paragraph of crappy advice from a layperson (I hope, I didn't bother to go check the authors credentials but if this was written by a helping professional our field is in trouble). The advice is riddled with glaring grammatical errors. I make them here and there, I'm not an English teacher or a proofreader. These are bad enough to make the book excruciating to read. Here's a short example that features both awful grammatical errors and crappy advice all a few lines. The entire book is like this. I will admit I just skimmed the chapters very quickly. That was enough for me. The author also uses the "word" thru prolifically. Lazy, shoddy, awful!

Edit-I can't find any information about the author, I wish I could. The only way this horrible excuse for writing might be acceptable is if it was written by an elementary school child, a mentally disabled person, or someone who is just learning English. It reads like a "made in China" product manual. Ridiculous.

From the book:
The feelings you are disturbing and I wish you would of have someone to talk with way beforehand. Another issue is that you have multiple different ways in mind to use for killing yourself. This is serious. Yes, killing yourself IS selfish and we are glad you are aware of this. However, the longer you go feeling like this worst the outcome may be.
