In memory of
Jared High
Bullying  Depression  Bullycide
..
Jared Benjamin High
Born Sept. 23, 1985 - Died Sept. 29, 1998
By Suicide
..
It is believed that depression causes most teenage suicides, but this creates a new question - what causes the depression?  A person just doesn't wake up one morning with depression.  Psychologists believe that some people have a genetic tendency towards depression, some people develop depression because of environmental triggers, and some people can have both genetic and environmental triggers,  (See "Teen Depression and it's Causes").   Jared developed depression from bullying at school as well as an assault by a bully in school.  The new term being used to describe this type of teen Suicide is, "bullycide," a suicide caused from the effects of bullying.

As Jared's mom, I welcome you to my grief project, JaredStory.com.  You will find an abundance of stories about Jared, research concerning bullying, depression, suicide prevention and suicide, as well as some motherly advise to help those thinking about suicide or those who have been through bullying, depression and/or a loss by suicide.  There are pages with serious subject matter, as well as pages filled with laughter.

If you have had thoughts of suicide, be sure and read, "Teenage Suicide - Been There, Done That" and if you are feeling down, be sure and read my favorite story about Jared, "The Skittles War," and make, (and eat) Jared's favorite cake, "Dirt Cake," which I call, "Worm Cake."  It will take you back to the happy moments in your own life and you will forget your troubles for a time.

Jared's loss filled our lives with grief, but the healing has come.  Our family has found hope in understanding Jared's purpose in life and in The Meaning of Life.   (Be sure and read "Commit Suicide, and go where?")  We were left behind with only memories of Jared, some good, some bad, but our healing journey goes on and will for the rest of our lives.

Lots of Love from Brenda  (Jared's mom)

P.s.  Something fun...

HEAR JARED'S VOICE - PLAY - From an interview with Pasco School District investigators concerning the assault.  This is a recording of a recording and it isn't real clear, but worth the download effort.  Jared had a real mellow voice.     Note: If you have a slow load wav, wait for it to load entirely and then play from the start.   -   5 minutes long

Solving Bullying The HEROES Way
.HEROES In The CROWD
~A Book Project~

"Heroes in the Crowd" is a new book that Brenda High, ("Bullycide in America"), and Robin Todd, ("The Proclamation"), is currently working on.  The "Bullycide in America" book is a wake-up callabout the tragic effects of bullying and Heroes in the Crowd is a Step-up-call to teach teens to Step up, Stand Out and Take a Stand to stop bullying by being, "Heroes in the Crowd". 

 

We are looking for real stories about kids who have stepped in to help their peers when they have faced bullying problems, and real stories from victims of bullying who tell how their peer-hero or peer-heroes saved them from being bullied or protected them from bullies. 
 

If you have a hero story to tell, (simple or unspectacular is okay), or know of anyone that would like to share their hero story,  and would like to be considered for publication in our book, please send your story to us.  We will send you a release and a free gift, "dUntOthers" bracelets, as well as a copy of the book when it's done.   If your story is not chosen for the book, we may still use it on the Heroes in the Crowd website and you will still get the "dUntOthers" bracelets.  (dUntOthers bracelets are in limited quantities, so when we are out, we are out... Then, we will think of something else to give.)
 

Send your story to Robin, robinarizona430 (at) msn (dot) com if you and your friends started a "Stand Out" program or took action that stopped or helped to stop bullying in your school.
 

Send your story to Brenda, brenda (at) jaredstory (dot) com, if you were a victim and a hero, or heroes, came to your aid and helped you survive the bullying.
