Title:
Casually suicidal | Sarah Liberti | TEDxAdelphiUniversity
Description:

Social media is a credible way of interacting with others and expressing yourself in the 21st century. It seems like writing or joking about wanting to die has become just as 'normal' as posting about your day.

Whether it is as a music teacher or in another capacity, Liberti intends to dedicate herself to helping others express themselves, feel safe and find solutions to serious internal and external struggles. For her TEDx presentation, "Casually Suicidal: What Now," she drew inspiration from simply scrolling through social media. "It was heartbreaking to realise how many people passively or actively post about death," she said. "Social media is a credible way of interacting with others and expressing yourself in the 21st century. It seems like writing or joking about wanting to die has become just as 'normal' as posting about your day."
