"Lead by example", That's what it takes to teach and help family and friends. That's what you did. These are very real and deep words.

Thanks for sharing your story. It really opened my eyes and mind. I am going through a difficult situation, but now I know it's not bad enough to think about ending the pain.

I also agree with you about the fact that teaching through experience and example is a way youth can learn in a better way than through institutional instruction. I am a teacher and I came to realize that after having graduated. Hehehe! You're right.

Thanks for sharing. I've learned something today.
