Bellmore Singer Starts Suicide Prevention Movement [VIDEO]

Singer Sara P remembered when she heard that a girl that she attended Calhoun High School with had committed suicide.

"I was a senior and she was younger than me," Sara P said. "I was not close friends with her, but I saw how it affected my friends."

A year ago, it hit closer to home when her producer's teenage nephew took his own life.

"I actually saw how it really affected someone I love and I wanted to do something about it," the 20-year-old Bellmore resident said.

Sara P released her single, "Let It Go," and started the "Let It Go Movement," an initiative to speak out out against suicide to middle and high school students.

The song tells young people that the pain they feel is only temporary and that they can overcome their hardships.

"You hear about kids committing suicide in the media so much and it's sad and shocking," Sara P said.

The singer's manager, Rodney Fischetti, said that "Let It Go" is more than a song.

"Young people committing suicide is a big problem on Long Island, but no one really wants to talk about it," he said. "The song allowed us to create this movement."

Sara P said that her main goal is to give kids an outlet to express their negative feelings.

"I want to get into the schools and get them talking to each other," she said. "I want them to know that suicide is not their only option and there is always another option. They can always talk to someone, express themselves and let it go."
