About this slideshow

7) I wrote an accompanying story about Red Sox first baseman, Kevin Youkilis after he spoke publicly for the first time about losing three friends to suicide as a teenager. I recorded the entire speech which was edited down to about a four-minute audio clip for Boston.com. In the clip, Youkilis discusses his personal experience with youth suicide before about 200 people at a suicide awareness and prevention benefit in Needham, Mass., a town that has lost five teens in the past five years to suicide.
