Answer:
|
Thinking about suicide often goes along with stressful events and feeling sad. Some teens feel so overwhelmed and sad that they think they will never feel better. Some things that can cause these feelings include:
- death of a loved one
- seeing a lot of anger and violence at home
- having parents get divorced
- having a hard time in school, struggling with grades or having problems with other teens
-
depression or alcohol or drug problems
- anger or heart-break over a relationship break-up
- feeling like you don't belong, either within the family or with friends
- feeling left out or alone
Sometimes, teens may feel very sad for no one clear reason.
Every teen feels anxiety and confusion at some point, but it helps to get through tough times by turning to people you trust and love. If you don't think you have people like this in your life, talk to a school counselor, teacher, doctor, or another adult who can help you talk about your feelings. There are ways to help teens deal with these intense feelings and work on feeling better in the future.
How common is the problem of teen suicide?
Suicide is one of the leading causes of death for teens. Girls try to commit suicide more often than boys. The important thing for you to know is that it doesn't have to happen. It is also important to know that suicide is not a heroic act, even though sometimes media images can make it seem so. Often, a person who is thinking about attempting suicide isn't able to see that suicide is never the answer to problems. Remember, there is always help - as well as support and love - out there for you or a friend.
