Hundreds join Walk to Prevent Suicide

I always like to read one article from my local newspaper just to see what's going on in Portsmouth.  Also, it's interesting to see the differences in writing styles between local and national news companies.  There's distinct difference in writing style between the article I read about corruption in Brazil and the one I read from the Portsmouth Herald.  The article from the Economist was more creative in the lead while this article was more traditional, with a summary lead.  I chose this article in particular because it was nice to see that there's a suicide prevention walk going on in Portsmouth because I've never participated in that all the 16 years I've lived in Portsmouth.  This article is also very timely considering a boy from Exeter High School just committed suicide.  I'm glad that the local communities are promoting awareness especially after the sophomore Exeter boy took his own life.  I think suicide is something many people feel uncomfortable talking about but it's something important that people need to be informed about too.  10 points to Portsmouth for hosting such a great event!
