We all want to make a "safe-haven" for people who, like us, had some problems with life. We've decided to expand though. Not only are we going to attempt to help with the issues of suicide and self harm, we're going to be teaching classes at our high school on all sorts of subjects ranging from bullying to alcohol to abusive relationships. Although our group is still in the very beginnings of its life, we hope that it'll take off pretty fast. We put up a myspace page and we have an email and such. As soon as we can all get together, O:R is also thinking about T-Shirts, guest speakers and lots of community things that will hopefully alert and inform everyone in a... respectful, caring attitude. These aren't light subjects but at the same time we don't think it'd be the greatest idea if we started an out-pouring of community wide panic. Starting this group hasn't been easy but it's going to be so worth it. I'm having all the advisors read your book. It's a pretty eye-opening thing just to know that someone out there can relate. Sometimes that's all anyone needs. Thanks so much! operation_revolution09@yahoo.com is our email address. It's the one we made our myspace page from.

Thanks for stopping by and sharing that. I can tell you have some other really great things going for you. Your relationship with your mom as you work through this together, and your relationship with Christ. Powerful! It's my prayer for you that he will continue to show you how to be fully free and will give you the strength you need to keeping moving in that direction. God bless! Jan Ashley,

I would encourage you first to consider and think through together your vision statement. Just a few starter questions (and you may have already done this): What do you want to be about? (Keep exploring ideas until you’re really clear.) What are the specifics of how you want to make a difference with Operation: Revolution? What are you each doing to change, heal, and make a difference in your own lives as founding members . . . so as role models you can make a difference in the lives of others? What is your core message of hope? For instance, I boil down my vision in the taglline for my site to “true stories, true hope” and one of my core messages of hope is the deepest possible healing and freedom that comes through connection with Christ. And then as far as getting known, Facebook is a great place to start when you’re ready to begin to go public. I wish you well. Keep me posted!

At least nine of my friends plus myself used to or still do cut. Six of us decided to do something about it and we're starting a group. It's called Operation: Revolution. It's a group of support for suicidal and self harm teens. We're all juniors in the same high school and we would love to see our group turn into something national if not world wide. We have a ton of passion since this is really sensitive to us but we're not sure exactly what to do. We have tons of ideas and we're going in for a meeting with the guidance counselors on TWLOHA Day, hoping it's a sign. Do you have any ideas for us?

I've met many parents who step way too carefully, afraid to offend their children--as if NOT saying anything would improve the relationship.
