Mom I'm All Right

The mother of a fourteen-year-old suicide victim tells her heartrending story & offers advice & warnings to parents of teenagers, especially those who have been diagnosed with learning disabilities such as Attention Deficit Disorder. Not only is this book for parents or relatives who have experienced the agony of a teen suicide, but also for every teacher, principal, pastor, Sunday School teacher, counselor--anyone who works in any way with children from pre-school through high school. This book is recommended for every parent who has a child on some type of long term prescribed medication for hyperactivity or any type of learning disability, no matter how minor or severe. Ten percent of our nation's school children are affected by some form of learning disorder. While each year the number of teen-age suicides escalates, the book examines the reasons that this group of children are susceptible, signs to look for, what might be done. As devastated mother works through her grief in an effort to survive her son's suicide, the book moves the reader very carefully through his short, difficult life, the aftermath of pain that resulted from his decision & two years of her recovery. It is a personal account of the issues that may lead an adolescent to choose suicide & how one parent coped with the tragedy. ORDERING INFORMATION: JACKSON ENTERPRISES, P.O.
