Hello, to whom may have information to help me help my son, whom finished first semester in college with all As. However feels now as if he cannot continue. The school dean has called to say they will withdraw him because he is inneed of care or supervision afte burning some picture at the dorn. He also has not been sleeping and taking his meds. So he's manic and will not do what he needs to improve in understanding and functioning with his mental sufferring. He has threaten my life several times and Im not comfortable with the idea he's coming back when I thought we were well into the phase of he getting his own place and havinglearning to live on his own. Can anyome offer information that can be of help in this tough position.

teenage suicide is becoming more common. but with charities like to write love on her arms out there, there is hope. teens will soon be able to get help through a program called IMAlive. an instant messaging service connecting people to professionals for help with problems like suicide and depression. its going to cost a lot of money though. luckily chase community giving is offering one million dollars to the top charity. to write love on her arms is in 2nd place. vote. if they win this will help launch IMAlive. this is a way to help prevent suicide. and it can be very useful to teens who cannot get help. A few clicks will help @TWLOHA win $1 Million for suicide prevention. Please share this with others. Vote here: http://bit.ly/7si7Be
