I can't sleep or eat and I want to die

The teen question we answer in this week's video comes from a teenager who can't sleep at night, doesn't want to eat and feels like dying. I did a Skype video call with a friend of mine who's been a youth worker for over 23 years and asked her to share her advice based on her years of experience. She gave a lot of helpful input about teen depression, hurt, pain, and life circumstances. What advice do you have for the teen who asked this question? Please share your story and input in the comments below, or better yet, leave a video response!
