No man is an island, entire of itself; every man is a piece of the continent, a part of the main...Any man's death diminishes me, because I am invovled in mankind, and therefore never send to know for whom the bell tolls; it tolls for thee.- John Donne

I see you. I may not know who you are specifically but I see you and you are not alone.
Contemplating suicide is common to every man of all social, economic, age, race occupational, sexual orientation, and cultural backgrounds. Men who struggle with suicide can be found on the streets of our urban cities or on the dirt roads of rural America to Wall Street. He can be heterosexual, bi, gay, or questioning. He can be the jock, the nerd, or the freak. He can be old, middle aged, or young. He can be white, hispanic, asian, american indian, african american, or other. From the rich, famous, and muscular to the poor, unknown, scrawny guy- the point is that SUICIDE affects all of us and you are not alone.
You may think suicide is only about you. It's not. It's about all men too.
