I sincerely hope that none of you have been able to relate to the traumas experienced by the characters in Flipped, but I know that it is likely at least some of you do. It breaks my heart, but this is the world we live in.
Here are some good hotlines to reach out to for help if you need it:
SELF HARM/SUICIDE:

Crisis Textline (suicide or self harm): Text "HELLO" to 741741
Boys Town National Hotline (self harm): 1-800-448-3000

I'm not sure how many of these are U.S. specific, so please feel free to comment if you know of any other resources in your country.
I love you.
