Phin Power Nantucket Youth

There have been three teen suicides out here over the past year or so . . .

I work closely with teenage kids out here and there is a huge amount of concern and fear. This is a very close community with a very small population and classes sometimes have less than 10 kids in them . . .

This issue felt like a private island issue but it has now hit the Boston media which presents more issues for these kids trying to understand something that perhaps can never be comprehended . . .

thank you.

Pardon my fancy speech, but sh*t like that sucks. I hope the kids are getting the support they need, both to come to terms with what has happened and also to know that there is so much worth living for.
