What truly is a hero and how do you know if they’re around you? A hero is not perfect. Let me tell you that, they are not always good, they don’t always make the best choices but that does not mean you aren’t a hero. There is a huge difference between a hero and MY hero.

Their stance towards the right direction led us to where we are now.
Also, the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline organization is helpful because they are a support system for people who are thinking of/or will be committing suicide. For example, the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline website says, “Suicide is not inevitable for anyone.
