Izzy Dix: How the story of her death affected you

All this week, we've been telling the story of Izzy Dix and the effect her death had on her mother, friends and the town she lived in.

The story of one 14-year-old girl's suicide in Brixham, Devon, produced a huge response from the Newsbeat audience.

People got in touch through Facebook, Twitter and text, many telling us how - and why - Izzy's story had affected them.

Here are some of their stories.

Listen to The Story of Izzy Dix across five special podcasts.

BBC Advice has more help and information for dealing with feelings of suicide.

There is also advice if you are affected by bullying.

Charlotte

I'm 17 and I got in touch with Newsbeat after hearing Izzy's story, because it had such a parallel to my own.

When I was 14, I too was being bullied at school and I felt very alienated.

I was contemplating suicide on a near daily basis.

After hearing Izzy's story I thought, that could be me, and my mum could be checking the door and finding me dead.

Online bullying has become so much more embedded.

When I got home I would get a break from it [bullying] but for Izzy it would not end.

It should be talked about more and the start should be talking about stories like Izzy more.

It gave me a lot of courage to hear it on the radio.

Nowadays I am doing great. I know that if I did encounter anything like that now I know I would be strong enough to deal with it.

I know my life is worth more than what some people would say.

Rachel

I have suffered from mental health problems since I was about 14 and I am now 24.

I am now a trustee at a suicide prevention charity - Clasp.

When I heard Izzy's story I thought about how much further we still have to go to break down the stigma surrounding suicide.

We need to get the message across that it is OK to think about suicidal feelings.

I experienced suicidal thoughts as a young person and it was a massive relief to finally speak up.

The other thing I noticed in Izzy's story was how many people were left behind.

It shows how suicide can really destroy a community and why it is so important to learn to spot the signs that lead up to teen suicide.

I think there is a real need to make young people aware of the effect their actions can have online.

Hayley

I saw Izzy's story yesterday and it reminded me of when I lost my dad six years ago yesterday. Sadly he took his own life.

My younger brother was 13 at the time and we both took it badly in the first year.

It reminded me of the pain that Izzy's family are going through too.

I'm at peace with what my dad has done and I have accepted that he is gone.

A picture Hayley sent us of her and her Dad.

It's a scary thought, all the things he will miss out on.

My wedding day will be hard. He won't be able to walk me down the aisle and he won't meet his grandchildren.

I think there is a big stigma attached to suicide and mental health.

We need to say that if you don't feel good about things, guys, come and talk about it.

Sharon

I'm a mum of three girls aged 15, 12 and six. As I drove home last night I was in floods of tears for Gabbi, hearing about her daughter Izzy.

As a parent I have had my daughter in tears over what people say, do, or not say about her.

When I got home I called my eldest downstairs and just hugged her tight. I cried again.

Teenagers today spend far to much time on phones or in their rooms.

I get that life is different from when I was growing up but never did I think my parents feared for me as I do for mine.

Also, as a child, if I were being bullied it was sorted out there and then, not by fighting but by using words or standing up. Now people hide behind social media and we are all victims.
