Childhood Dreams Slip Away.

'Childhood Dreams Slip Away' 2008. 100cm x 70cm.

Ok, this a new piece of work (about a week old). It'll probably end up being a series of images on teenage suicide.
There seems to be so many suicides at the moment but not a great deal being done about it.

The facts are alarming:

:Suicide amongst teenagers & young adults has increase 3 fold since 1970.
:90% of suicide amongst teenagers had a diagnosable mental illness, depression being the most common.
:Nearly 5,000 teenagers commit suicide each year.
:Suicide is the third leading cause of death among those aged 15-24.

I really hope more action is taken.

Later...
Carl
