The Yellow Ribbon Foundation

Yellow ribbon is a not-for-profit organization that helps kids recover from suicidal ideas. The article on their website http://www.yellowribbon.org/Legacy.html tells the story of how the foundation began. The website explains what their foundation does.I found an article on this website written about how the program got started. It is about a caring kid and how he didn’t know a way to get help which resulted in his committing suicide. The article doesn’t say who it is written by, but the website is by ^{© 1995-2011 Yellow Ribbon Suicide Prevention Program®}. It seems to be a reliable source because it is written by a foundation looking to help teens ask for advice when they are in despair. The website is written to persuade you to use the yellow ribbon organization when help is needed. The article is written to inform, but it talks about how the foundation got started not about the suicide. It is written in cause and effect form about how a family turned their son’s suicide into an organization for teens to ask for help. It also explains how the organization quickly spread to aid other teens in need. The story doesn’t give many details on the suicide, how it happened, or what caused it. It explains how the community was affected after the suicide, and how the friends of the boy were able to make a difference. The article is a good source to go to if you would like to know more about an organization for teens looking for help and not teen suicide.
