Project Arcade: Build Your Own Arcade Machine (ExtremeTech)

Within 15 days of the suicide of his 14 year old son, Branden Edward Darce St.Clair, John had spoken to over 200 teens that have either contemplated suicide or have been self-harming due to depression and anxiety. Their main argument has been that no one will listen when they do speak out, or there is no one to speak out to due to the repercussions of such an action.\nJohn St. Clair feels that there’s a serious problem in the current support systems; not only the schools, but in homes as well. Within a week of Branden’s choice, he and his family were told by several teens his age that at some point from sixth grade to ninth grade their son had either stopped them or talked them out of suicide or self-harm. In this book, journal if you will, he tells this story, in detail, of what the choice of suicide will bring. The aftermath of such a choice. 
Suicide is not an end; it is but a beginning for many left behind, to live the remainder of their lives in pain, doubt and fear. Please reach out if you’re in that dark place; you are not alone!\nMr. St. Clair wrote this book to serve as a steppingstone in breaching the stigma surrounding teen mental health. By sharing his story, the dark side, the unknown side of suicide, with the ones left behind, he hopes to change one mind, one heart at a time. John has chosen to continue this road in many ways.\nWith a new anti-bullying bill in the writing, John will go before Congress in 2023. A docuseries diving into the many faces of depression, anxiety, self-harm, cyber bullying and teen suicide is also in the making. With the help of this book, he endeavors to open many new teen help centers in all needed places possible.
