x3 assignment

X3 ASSIGNMENT
“Close relationships with family members may help to buffer peer isolation and therefore reduce the risks of suicidal thoughts and behaviors” (King).
 1). A relationship with friends and family can prevent suicide.
2). Being close with people you love the most can help the battles of depression and suicide.
3). Just having a support system can take away the thoughts of negativity and keep a individuals mind away from suicidal thoughts.

“Real depression isn’t being sad when something in your life goes wrong. Real depression is being sad when everything in your life is going right” (Breel).
1). Depression can happen when you’re happy or sad with life.
2). True sadness is not when you’re down all the times it can be when you’re also happy.
3). Being disconnected from the world can happen when the world is throwing nothing but greatness to you.

My paragraph to incorporate both quotes.


Happiness is in the hand of the beholder. Keith King a psychologist and researcher for suicide and depression claims “Close relationships with family members may help to buffer peer isolation and therefore reduce the risks of suicidal thoughts and behaviors” (King). From a personal outlook this is not always the case. Kevin Breel a suicide attempt survivor explains that “Real depression isn’t being sad when something in your life goes wrong. Real depression is being sad when everything in your life is going right” (Breel). Suicidal thoughts can happen even when people have the support from their family. It is a problem from deep within and it does not matter what good is happening around them If they are still unhappy.
