Mike and I were best friends. We did everything together. A few weeks ago Mike began acting strangely. He started cutting classe
s, and his grades were suffering. He spent less and less time with his friends, including me. When Mike and I did things together, he talked down about himself and was so negative that I just started tuning him out. He drove his car so fast and dangerously that I became scared just being with him in the vehicle. One morning he told me that everyone would probably be better off if he just drove his car into a canal. I noticed that he was wearing the same clothes day after day and had an offensive body odor. I thought he was just depressed. When I mentioned this to his parents, they said that it was probably because he was not sleeping well and was rushed in the mornings. Last week Mike seemed to be more friendly. He even went so far as to lend me his new CDs and insist I take all his old ones as well, since he was tired of listening to them. Yesterday Mike committed suicide. Story by DOE, FCS Curriculum for LMS.) After reading the story about Mike. List five danger or warning signs Mike displayed.
One of the biggest signs some people seem to miss is their way of saying " Goodbye" is by offering you their prized possessions, knowing that those items are in good hands when they die. If you see any of these signs of anyone you know please, talk to them and tell them how much they mean to you and insist on making yourself available to them to talk to. They might change their mind if they see how much you care.
Mike had shown many dangerous warning signs. 1)cutting classes 2)suffering grades 3)less time with friends 4)talking down about himself 5)driving really fast, and dangerously 6)bad hygiene -hope this helps :3
