Answer 2

I would try to open with a series of short attention grabbing questions about suicide.
It really depends on the tone of your speech, try watching some youtube of Motivational. Inspirational Speakers on suicide. Or even Bethany Hamilton videos she came to my school once it was great, you really want to connect to others when speaking because most likely some of the people you'll be talking to are going through or already have gone through what you're speaking about.

Answer 3

I would start out by stating a fact like, "Suicide takes the lives of nearly 30,000 Americans every year." Try to inform people on how common it is, and how heartbreaking it can be for families and friends who may have to hear about the news. Using facts and statistics is a great way to grab people's attention.
