Talking to Teen About Suicide of Friend or Acquaintance

Talking to Teen About Suicide of Friend or Acquaintance

In Broadcast Categories: For Dads, For Moms, Parenting, Parenting Challengers, Relationships, School-Age Children, Spiritual Growth For Kids, Teens

How should I talk with my adolescent son about a friend of his who recently took his own life? The boy was hardly more than an acquaintance, but I know that this incident has impacted my teenager deeply. Can you help me figure out the best way to approach the subject with him?
