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:
“The oft-repeated Roman story is written in still legible characters in every quarter of the Old World, and but today, perchance, a new coin is dug up whose inscription repeats and confirms their fame. Some “Judæa Capta,” with a woman mourning under a palm tree, with silent argument and demonstration confirms the pages of history.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
