“Your church’s teachings drive kids to suicide!”
No. The world teaches you that you are worthless, that you are nothing but a clump of cells. It preaches nihilism as virtue and victimhood as righteousness.

Those who struggle with depression and suicidal thoughts find themselves torn between two masters. I know this because I’m one of them. It is hard to choose God, and easy to choose the world, but the easy path leads to ever-greater sorrow.
It is hard to stop the negative and untrue thoughts. The world would have you revel in affirmed sorrow and pursue quick, costly, and empty salves. God would have you realign your mind with His, and let His Holy Spirit support you in your effort to think of yourself truthfully.
Listen to me:
You are a son or daughter of the Most High God, the creator of the world and universe. Despite all its vastness, His primary work and glory is YOU.
This messy life is necessary. He has given a path to overcome all, even your mental and spiritual struggles.

Pursue honest and righteous therapy. Avoid medication if you can, but do not rely on it if you cannot. Pray for divine healing. Pray for charity and opportunities to give. Read your scriptures not just to find answers in the text, but also to align yourself to the Holy Ghost.
