I think this could be the lamest question in history. If anyone believes this to be true they are ignorant. \n\nPeople who commit suicide - 9 out of 10 times have a brain disorder. They have a chemical imbalance which causes depression and suicidal tendencies. They have no control of these emotions but with medication can help their thoughts, but not always.\n\nI can understand the fact if listening to something sad or disturbing can affect you mentally but this is not the cause of depression or the cause of suicide. \n\nThe person's brain is the cause - not music, not TV, not video games!

i think so. if the minor understood what they were doing and knew what the outcome would be then yes they should be tried as adults.  there areway to many young people out killing each other and know they can get away with it, because they will go to juvie and be out when they are 18.  i say lock them up with the adults so they can truly learn a lesson.

if by greive you mean, feel sorrow and remorse at the loss of someone they deeply care about then, yes of course teens grieve.  Just because we're younger does not mean that we lack basic human emotions, and those emotions also pertain to grieving

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

No, I don't agree with that...children often mimic what adults do, and they may think it's right, or they might be afraid and they think there's no one to help them.  Sometimes that IS the case, we often overlook those who are being abused, because the kid is too afraid to talk and sometimes we just say they just want attention.  It also depends on the situation, like if a 17-year-old was driving drunk and killed someone, then he should get some sort of punishment.  I do not believe in the death penalty, though-not even for adult prisoners.

Sadly, yes.  \n\nI know someone who tried meth when she was 10.  An older friend gave it to her.  She only tried it once then, but was thinking about trying it again recently.  She's only 13 now.  Both her parents are alcoholics.\n\nMy mom had a patient who was around 13 years old and already had signs of liver damage from alcohol abuse.  She'd be drinking heavily since she was about 6 years old.  Her younger sibling was also abusing alcohol.  They lived with their grandmother who was too sick to go downstairs.\n\nKids as young as 10, and even younger, are recruited into gangs because they're too young to be tried as adults in court.  The courts set lower and lower ages to try kids as adults, and the gangs just recruit younger and younger kids.  They use those kids to traffic drugs, among other things.

Jim Morrison,Jimi Hendrix, Janis Joplin, Kurt Cobain and I'm sure a few others have died at 27. All these people did a lot of drugs. 27 is an age where most people decide whether or not they want to grow up or not. Most young people start out destroying themselves in their teenage years, the body and mind can only take so much abuse if a person continues to destroy his or her own body and mind 27 is just about the age it will take to kill it.

Yes.\n\nCatholics believe suicide when committed in full knowledge and deliberate consent is a complete turning away from God (a mortal sin) and will send a person to hell.\n\nThere are 3 conditions of a mortal sin: grave matter, full knowledge, and deliberate consent. \n\nWhile suicide (or any kind of murder) is always a grave matter, people who commit suicide may not always have full knowledge of what they're doing. Drugs can definitely impair one's thinking, as can other things, such as diseases, intense pain, or anguish. \n\nTherefore, suicide is not automatically treated as a mortal sin. \n\nWe are commanded by Christ not to judge others so we leave final judgment to God who alone knows each person's heart.\n\nWith love in Christ.

In teens I hate that they don't take into consideration the people around them, they think everyone will always be there.In adults I hate that they don't do as much to help other people they mostly focus on their lives. Don't get me wrong, both age groups are very cool but they both have their flaws.

Yes.  When I was 10-years-old, I watched a 40-year-old woman die at the hands of her own mother--my 88-year-old neighbor!  According to the police officer that took a statement from my mother--who also witnessed the tragic incident--the two had previously engaged in an argument over money, and out of anger, my neighbor decided to use her gun to settle the dispute.  (The woman was shot in the back by her mother while retrieving groceries from her station wagon.)   It was a really sad day for all, especially for the little boy who watched his mother die.  (Yes, the woman's 10-year-old son was also present.)

Dude, its a good thing yer ma doesnt like your music all part of the growing process, its your job as an almost teenager to start testing the boundaries.  If you really wanna piss her off get Rage against the machine and stick on "Killing in the name of" and watch her face as the main chorus kicks in "F*CK YOU WONT DO WHAT YE TELL ME!" classic, followed up by the live recording of Metallica playing "Am i Evil" :-D

I suppose depending on the song and the youth it might. However, there are plenty of other genres of music that could infact have a negative influence on youth.

Their are alot more people than teenagers that consider suicide but teens have hormon imbalances which make them more prone to consider suciude. Whether your happy or sad depends on a large degree to the chemicals in your body.If their severly imbalanced your life could be so sad that you figure its not worth living.

I have seen a lot of young people try and commit suicide, and the last thing on there mind is God. Many believe that if you take your own life you wander around in an empty void unable to pass over, this is rubbish of course but it's what some preach to scare others. This is not something that God would approve, and you will find that he gets the blame when someone does take their life, but the blame must fall on us because we fail each other, why? because we live in a world of greed, a place where few have time for others, a place where some kill in the name of their God. We need to share our love for each other as well as God, we mush never let our faith leave us, because it could fall on anyone us. People don't want pity, sometimes it's just someone to talk to, as I said I know I have dealt with a number of young lads up the age of 18 you have tried to kill themselves most cases it's a cry for help, but who's listening????????\nLove & Peace
