In  2020 there were 5,224 adult suicides registered in England and Wales one of those being my Son Preston Matthew Lee Harris ! One too many, and i feel his / my story needs to be out there for everyone  to see and hopefully appreciate that suicide can happen to anyone,at anytime some good will come from this living nightmare i am in !

Preston was born in Brighton, UK on 24th August 1994, he was cremated in Brighton UK on 24th August 2020 his 26th birthday !

Due to the funeral being subject to  Covid19 restrictions of maximum 30 people including staff !  the video of the funeral service at the crematorium is  here 

Id been a single parent dad with him since he was 13months old, he was my life !  He had never been diagnosed with any mental health issues and was fit and well

The contributing reason for his actions was being in a toxic relationship with a girl called C***** R******.  He met her in November 2019,  He was only with her for 10 months, that is the short amount of time it took with her continuously putting him down and talking to and treating him like shit, for him to believe the only way to escape that was to kill himself !|

For this reason i believe his story needs to be out there in the hope that someone else reading this story will take a different route to the one Preston sadly took.

I had never done a painting before this and i do not consider myself an artist !

i believe the image of a 'Youth  in Turmoil'  should and will be globally recognized for  its meaning and for mental health issues  especially  the under 30's

This website is about that  image with the aim of it being  globally recognized.
