SOS, Save Our Selves: This anti-bullying/suicide prevention booklet is by kids and for kids on the Rosebud Indian Reservation in South Dakota, where there is a terrible youth suicide rate. Kids wrote it and drew it, Mother Lauren R. Stanley pulled together the resources for it with the help of two churches and the local lumber yard, and now it’s being distributed to every student at the Todd County Middle School. The problem is acute on reservations, but hardly confined to them; any community can suffer a sudden epidemic of children and teenagers trying to harm themselves. Adults have to take notice and begin intervening at once. Youth can feel racism and rejection so acutely that it becomes deadly. (Rosebud Episcopal Mission)
