Hanging

Hanging is when someone puts a rope around their neck and hangs themselves from something like a tree, a beam, or a doorknob. This is very dangerous and can kill the person. The rope squeezes your neck and cuts off the air you need to breathe. When you can't breathe, your body starts to shut down and you can die. It's important to remember that hanging is never a good solution to problems and there are always people who can help you if you are feeling sad or overwhelmed.
