Teens need to talk, says Bridgend suicide mother

THE grieving mother of one of the 17 young people from Bridgend, Wales, thought to have hanged themselves urged other teenagers to talk about their problems yesterday.

Anthony Martin, 19, was found hanging on April 26 last year in his home in Heol Ty Maen, Cefn Glas — the same area of Bridgend where two of the latest victims, Nathaniel Pritchard and Kelly Stephenson, lived.

His mother Tracy Roberts, who has three daughters, said her son should have been given more help after becoming depressed when he was made redundant.
