Teenage suicide is an act where a teenager commits suicide. It is becoming a more common diagnosis among teenagers throughout the world. Although suicide rates significantly decreased in the mid-1990s, suicide deaths remain high in the 15 to 24 age group with 3,971 suicides in 2001 and over 132,000 suicide attempts in 2002 making it the third leading cause of death for those aged 15 to 24 in the United States . More preventive measures have been taken in the last ten years including increased understanding the risk factors and causes, spreading information to schools and parents.\n\nOverview\nPsychologists have identified the teenage years as one of the most difficult phases of human life. Although they are often seen as a time to enjoy friendship, hang out with friends and perform other activities that adults would not usually do, often this period causes adolescents a large amount of stress. Many changes in the human mind take place during pubescence. Adolescents may begin to consider spiritual or philosophical questions such as what happens after people die. To some, death may be an unknown idea and result in a great sense of worry. Others may accept death and suicide from watching news reports or from reading a novel depicting a suicidal character. Without proper parenting regarding suicide, a teenager may feel lost on the idea.\n\nHormones, peer pressure, self-esteem, expectations, and academic responsibilities all contribute in providing stress in a teenager's life. A lapse in one of these categories can result in suicidal tendencies. Often, a teenager's suicide attempt may be a cry for help, because he or she may not want to seek help personally because of fear of dishonor or shame.\n\nPopulation differences\nMale adolescents commit suicide at a rate four times greater than that of female adolescents, although suicide attempts by females are twice as frequent as those by males. A possible reason for this is because the method of suicide for males is typically that of a firearm, with a 78-90% chance of fatality. Females are more likely to try a different method, such as ingesting poison.\n\nSuicide rates vary for different ethnicities due to cultural differences. In 1998, white Americans accounted for 84% of all youth suicides, 61% male, 23% female. However, the suicide rate for Native Americans was 19.3 per 100,000, exceedingly higher than the overall rate (8.5 per 100,000). The suicide rate for African-Americans has increased more than two-fold since 1981. A national survey of high school students conducted in 1999 reported that Hispanic students are twice as likely to attempt suicide than white students.\n\nA controversial U.S. government's study, titled Report of the Secretary's Task Force on Youth Suicide, found that gay youth are two to three times more likely to attempt suicide than other young people. Several researchers suggest that bisexual and youth uncertain of their sexual orientation may be at higher risk for suicidal behavior than self-proclaimed homosexual teenagers. However, it should be noted that many gay teenagers who commit suicide also suffer from mental illnesses or substance abuse disorders, making the connection more complicated. Further research is currently being done to explain the prevalence of suicide among homosexual youths.\n\nHigh-risk groups\nTeenagers who have attempted suicide before. Approximately a third of all teenagers who have commited suicide have made a previous suicide attempt.\nRape victims. \nVictims of substance abuse \nAdolescents who have a mental disorder, such as depression, social anxiety, or bipolar disorder. Over 90% of teen suicide victims have a mental disorder, such as depression, and/or a history of alcohol or drug abuse. \n\nSuicide prevention\nMain article: Suicide prevention \nPromoting overall mental health among adolescents is key to reducing possible suicidal thoughts. Some people argue that limiting young people's access to lethal weapon

i never  have,but my mother did,,,,her heart stopped for 20 minutes.and they brought her back,2 hours later she was awake talking in the er,the doctors told us usually when someone is flat line that long they  go into coma and usually doesn't come out,but she did,,,,,she didn't remember  what happened,and the family had asked the doctors and nurses not to tell her she had basically died,well,leave it to someone,,,,one nurse came in and said ,well you did die!!.this upset my mother,cause she didn't remember what had happened,she  asked us allot of questions and so on,,we talked with her  about the  death thing,and she didn't recall anything,except the most beautiful feeling of peace,as she  got better(her heart) she started to have strange feelings,due to the fact she had died and came back,she said it wasn't natural,she believed she should have went on to  another place,she told us she just didn't feel the same anymore about being alive,,,she never said she wanted to die again or anything,just it wasn't normal for her to be here,a few weeks later she signed papers to do no resuscitate at all.she  felt if it was her time to go the doctors should just let nature take its course.well she lived on a bout 6 months.. she was doing really well,and then one night she just passed in her sleep..so now,we all feel  she has went back to  the  beautiful most peaceful place she once had found..

Adolescent suicide is an interesting topic. Just about every teenager I know has either considered it as an option or tried it. Many have friends who have succeeded.

Yes,  Once I fell off a cliff... well I sort of jumped but I had no choice.  I cracked my head pretty hard at the bottom.\n\nI think I died and went to hell... it was a boiling pit of blood, people were screaming in it all around me.  Any who tried to surface or reach out would get slashed by flying serpents that skimmed the surface.  This of course could have been a hallucination... I felt I deserved to be there for what I had done in my life, so I sunk to the bottom, resigned to my fate.  There I saw a baby that took my hand and said, "wake up, I still need you!"\n\nWhen I awoke, I was in that gulch with blood all over my face, matted in my hair and my head damaged.  I couldn't walk... I had to drag myself out, one foot at a time and the pain was terrible as my shock wore off. \n \nI prayed to God for the strength to make it out alive and swore to do all he asked of me if I survived... somehow I made it back up to the road and was delivered to the hospital by some motorists.\n\nI believe it was a miracle!

At one point in my life I was really depressed. i'm talking clinical depression here, the kind you get when the chemicals in your brain get mixed up. i was a Christian at this point, but had been drifting away from God.\nanyway, i was standing by my window one day. at this point i was closer to committing suicide then i had ever been, and was contemplating the action right then. as i stood there, i suddenly felt this overwhelming prescence.\ni can't really describe what happened next, (it's too personal) but God came to me. i spent some time in prayer, just pouring out my heart. when i left my room, i felt like a completely different person. everything literally looked brighter.\n5 years later, i'm still following the Lord and couldn't be happier. i really believe that God saved my life that day, both spiritually and physically.

no, suicide is a waste of a life.  life i precious; God gave it to us.  most people, when they try to commit suicide, their last thought is, "I dont want to die".  when you commit suicide, there's no turning back.  its just over.  think about how many people you coud affect if you dont commit suicide.  Turn to God, and he will help you through any situation that you are helpless in.  without God, we wouldnt have life.\n\nyesterday is history\ntomorrow is mystery\ntoday is a GIFT

Yes, several times.  Once in particular comes to mind vividly.  I was walking down the corridor in the hospital where I work & I saw this young woman sitting on the cold concrete floor & crying.  \n\nShe wasn't outside a patient room but an administrative office so I wasn't sure what to make of the situation.  In any case, I stopped what I was doing & knelt down next to her.  She flung herself into my arms and just cried harder & so I let her & tried to offer comfort.\n\nCome to find out that she'd just lost her mother upstairs & I've never been more glad, or grateful, to have halted myself and try to help.

It's was a really hard time to get through...i know about the suicide because i once had my own death planned...I am know stable and would love to help you...when you feel the way i've felt you feel like the whole world has turned agianst you and that no one cares or wants to understand what's going on with you...i can say that even though i was in a christian i felt like my own parents didn't want me...what got me through is the fact that there is one person worth living for...ME! if i took my own life  i wouldn't be only hurting myself i would start a chain reaction across the nation starting with my friends and their friends and so forth...so i choose to live my life for me and do what i want and fulfill my dreams! so tell your clients there are are people that care and there are people like them out here...i've been there done that...there's no point of ending your own life with the effects it will do in the whole sceem of things...

the lowest point in my life was when my first husband shot himself in 1992, in front of me. we had a little girl that was 2 yrs old. after his death i got hooked on meth and became an alcoholic, and lost my daughter. yes i have felt suicidal, and have actually attempted, but i thank God now i was never successful. i now have my daughter back and another daughter that is 8yrs old, and a very loving husband, and a very loving God that has forgiving me.  no one should ever take their own life it is to precious, and you will leave alot of loved ones behind to pick up the pieces.  if you feel suicidal you should really get help, and pray. God answers prayers, but you have to really open your heart and let him in or you will never hear his answers.  good luck and God Bless You!!!!!!!!!

I saw someone shoot up once, and it convinced me to NEVER do that to myself.\nI don't know how he felt, but to me it looked like he died.
