×Tomorrow, the New Zealand Herald starts a special series on youth suicide. New Zealand has the second worst youth (25 and under) suicide rate in the developed world and the worst teen (15-19) suicide rate. We want to encourage people who need help to ask for it; and we want to let them know there is hope. The series is called Break The Silence and stories from it will be clearly marked.
