Unfortunately, a lot of people commit suicide every year. Not only adults but also children do.
残念なことに、毎年たくさんの人が自殺します。大人だけでなく子どももです。
I have translated an advertisement copy made by Japan Advertising Council.
公共広告機構（現ACジャパン）のキャッチコピーを訳してみました。
“Life is important. Appreciate life.” Being told this thousands times or tens of thousands times is not as effective as hearing “you mean a lot.” With these simple words, I can live.
「命は大切だ。命を大切に。」
そんなこと何千回何万回言われるより
「あなたが大切だ」
誰かがそう言ってくれたらそれだけで生きていける。
It’s tough to put this kind of thing into a different language, isn’t it?
こういうものを他の言葉に訳すのは難しいですね。
You can watch this advertisement in the following video if you are interested.

I think it’s true. Everyone needs to feel loved and cherished by someone without conditions.
広告の言うとおりだと思います。
みんな、無条件で誰かに愛され大切にされているという感覚が必要ですよね。

Everyone needs to feel loved and cherished by someone without conditions (this is fine, but often instead of "without conditions" we say "unconditionally").
I learned some good Japanese expressions too, thank you!

◆自分を大切にする心
子どもには、言葉に出してこういうメッセージを送ることも、ときには必要なのでしょうね。
Thank you very much for the corrections.
So you did a report on depression and suicide in Japan. Then I am sure you know well that it's one of the serious problems in Japan. I feel very sorry for those who committed suicide and their families who have to suffer from the loss for many years to come...
過分なお言葉、ありがとうございます。
でも褒めすぎで、恥ずかしくなります・・・
学校で「命を大切に」と教えているところもあると聞きますが、
あまり効果があるとは思えません。
この広告、とてもいいと思いました。親や大人へのメッセージですね。
コメントをありがとうございます。
I hear that teachers teach children importance of life at school, but I don't think it works. This advertisement is targeted at parents and adults, which I find good.
Thank you very much for th link!
It's really good to read.
I agree with you. We need to tell children from time to time that we care for them.
