Jason's Story
Jason's father, Clark Flatt, wrote a letter to anyone interested in learning about how to help youth suicide. In the letter Jason's father reveals that Jason was a normal 16 year old boy, who enjoyed hanging with friends, playing sports and was a B-average student. Sadly, on July 16, 1997 Jason became the next statistic in youth suicide. After Jason's death, his father began researching about youth suicide, with the intention of discovering effective methods of suicide prevention. The Jason Foundation was created to help stop this silent epidemic.

Famous quotes containing the word story:
“Wit is often concise and sparkling, compressed into an original pun or metaphor. Brevity is said to be its soul. Humor can be more leisurely, diffused through a whole story or picture which undertakes to show some of the comic aspects of life. What it devalues may be human nature in general, by showing that certain faults or weaknesses are universal. As such it is kinder and more philosophic than wit which focuses on a certain individual, class, or social group.”
—Thomas Munro (1897–1974)
