Help finding news article?

Question

There was this news article about a boy who is valedictorian and on the day of his graduation he is making his speech and he tells a story how when he was younger he was going to commit suicide but his best friend now save him. Does anyone know where I can find the article for this?

Answer 1

There's a version of it on Snopes, but was first published in Chicken Soup for the Soul. Apparently, it does come from a true story.
