The document outlines a plan by four students to create a website and class to help prevent suicide among kids. Their goals are to make kids feel better about themselves through encouraging notes on poster boards and in a discussion class, and to educate other schools about suicide by having them watch a movie on the topic. The problem outlined is that kids are killing themselves due to depression and bullying, with suicide being a top 10 cause of death in the US that devastates families.
