Miranda Kerr Joins Battle vs Bullying and Youth Suicide [PHOTOS]
After the tragic death of her cousin, supermodel Miranda Kerr openly talked about how depression in teens can be prevented so suicides will be a thing of the past.
Kerr, who had a teenage cousin who took his own life recently, decided she needed something to do to avoid and be an advocate of suicide's prevention. Aside from being one of the most famous Victoria's secret angels, Kerr is also the CEO of an organic skin line called "Kora Organics," and mother to a baby boy she has with Hollywood actor Orlando Bloom.
"The sadness of losing someone, especially in these circumstances, is something we live with and we continually question how it could be prevented," said the supermodel in a report posted by news.com.au. Kerr shared how his cousin secretly hid his depression from family members and felt ultimately alone when he decided to end his young life. The unexpected suicide was the happening that made Kerr decide to support the Kids Helpline and launched a television campaign against bullying and the prevention of suicide.
"There's not really a great awareness about the services available to kids and that's why I'm behind this great cause," adds the Victoria's Secret angel.
"If we can reach just one child and let them know there is someone out there who wants to listen, that could help to save their life. I believe if my cousin had known of Kids Helpline it may have saved his life." continues Kerr in the same report.
