  I understand how  you would think that he was glorifying suicide. My son committed suicide at  the age of 17, 1 year and 4 months ago. I am so glad that Dr. Phil and the filmmaker decided to make this an important enough issue to discuss it on national t.v. where it can get the recognition it deserves in order to help those of us left behind. The truth is that someone dies of suicide every 16 minutes in this country and we need to be more pro active in dealing and talking about this highly sensitive subject. It's really all about educating and spreading the knowledge. We may not be able to save everyone you wants to end their life but we can at least do everything we can to prevent others from having to suffer the loss of a loved one this way.
