Teenager's Mighty Pen


Edward Bulwer-Lytton   (PD)
It is said that the pen is mightier than the sword, and this Edward Bulwer-Lytton quote has once again been confirmed.

An 18-year-old took it upon herself to post inspiring messages onto the Wearmouth Bridge in Sunderland, England.  These were designed to encourage folks “going through a mental health crisis” to hang in
there.  One such posting read:  Even though things   are difficult, your life matters…

The local police stated that six lives were saved as a result of these “uplifting notes.”  One person’s concern can indeed be a “shining light in a dark world.”
