For every completed suicide among youth between the ages of 15 and 24, there are about 100-200 suicide attempts (Goldsmith et al., 2002). Suicide among adolescents also contributes to social and economic burden through a loss of productivity.

Development of Aggression and Violence in Youth Today Tragic events like the shootings at Columbine High School capture public attention and concern, but are not typical of youth violence. Most adolescent homicides are committed in inner cities and outside of school. They most frequently involve an interpersonal dispute and a single victim. On average, six or seven youths are murdered in this country each day. Most of these are inner-city minority youths. Such acts of violence are tragic and contribute

Female adolescents can especially have these feelings and are far more hurt by words than actions. In a recent survey done by the Journal of School Health, it indicated that between 10% and 17% of middle and high school adolescents report some form of maltreatment by their peers (Eisenberg et al., 2003), and 23% of female victims report being intimidated by other girls
