Consequences : The Necession Of Suicide And Adolescents

For many the concept of teenage suicide is almost always correlated with the psychological mindset of the individuals. However, there is a lot of the factors behind these horrifying events that actually are more sociologically related. These catastrophic events are directly correlated with interactions with the world. The loss of teenagers across the world is increasing and it is a subject that should be touched on in both sciences. Throughout this paper the study of teen suicide in the sociological view will be discussed by going through Emile Durkheim’s studies and the sub groups in which it can occur. These events are related back to such things as social rejection, religious beliefs and social situations. This paper will also touch on the different types of suicide and what the suicides correlate with. The main purpose of this paper is to show how teen suicide is not only a psychological problem with students but to breakdown the areas in which cause these feelings.

Teen suicide is one of the largest problems facing America at the moment, and it will only become worse if the country does not come up with a solution. “According to the American Psychiatric Association, suicide is the third leading cause of death for young people between eleven and eighteen years of age (Teen Suicide).” American families can not keep losing sons and daughters to this entirely preventable epidemic. The largest issue with teen suicide is that Americans are using largely outdated and/or ineffective strategies in dealing with teen suicide, and Americans need to realize that this problem will not just go away. Using the old methods, such as telling teens to toughen up, are clearly not working and in some cases are contributing to the problem. Teen suicide is alarmingly on the rise and “According to the CDC, 5,504 people ages 10 to 24 died by suicide in 2014, the most recent year in which statistics are available. The figure was up from the grim 2013 tally of 5,264, and the number has risen every year and up 13 percent from 2010 (Corbin).” There are several causes for teen suicide that range from depression to concussions, and for each cause there are several proposed solutions to suicide or its causes, but many of the solutions will cause more problems instead of solving current ones, Americans need to utilize effective suicide prevention strategies and ignore the useless and outdated ones.

There’s people who are experience this horrible moments in their lives and trying their best to move on from the traumatic situation. For Instance, Marlene Hamptons who has post-traumatic stress disorder and is a survivor from a sexual abuse when she was young. Marlene is forty-four years old and her abuse took place when she was five years old. Although it has been more than several decades since this abuse took place, she still re-live the fear and terror of that time. Despite the event, she can only remember details surrounding the abuse and the abuser with sparkling clarity. However, Marlene still cannot remember the actual traumatic events after all this time. During time Marlene realized that this gap in memory is not so uncommon and

Throughout the duration of the cult children, females and males were killed as a punishment for disobeying Jones but these deaths were done individually until the cult ended with a massive suicide. The suicide killed 918 people.

Therapists uses therapeutic techniques such as hypnosis, guided visualization, and age regression to recover repressed memories in patient. Repressed memories can also be resurfaced when an individual goes through a series of familiar experiences that they have experienced in the pass. The issue on Repressed memory is highly controversial since many believes that the memory can be altered based on external influences. According to (Loftus, 1993) there are two important sources that may influence false memory and these are popular writings and therapists’

Every year about 4,400 innocent people take their life for unnecessary reasons. (Elias 5,3) Whether it is due to personal problems, bullying or feeling not wanted. Although the teen suicide rates have not significantly increased or decreased within the last several decades (Elias 1,2)We want loved ones, class mates or friends still here with us to experience a life. But instead, there always has to be ruthless people in this world. Also some selfish people who just care about themselves and never see or ask how anyone else is. Someone whose life is already ruined tries to talk or plan about suicide to another person to try to get their life over with, so the messed up person who has a ruined life does not have to worry about anyone else who has such a good life ahead of them. (Alison 5,6)Teen suicide is an important issue because it threatens so many lives that have great potential.

Certain memories never go forgotten, the sound of an individual’s shoes striking the church aisle floor at a one’s funeral or the pain experienced by someone when his arm snapped during a supposedly enticing football game. Without a doubt, many memories involve the emotional and physical pain of childhood which unfortunately, play over and over again throughout life. For some the flashbacks become somewhat comical, no longer piercing the body with undesired pain. Although preferable, the later stands untrue for many who remain bombarded with persistent memories such as the vivid feeling experienced on the day a teacher accused her of violating the dress code. What she was wearing, who yelled at her, where exactly she was, and the way she felt

Recalling a memory is a much more complex process than simply playing back a recording; that is, the sensory information we take in about an event may not necessarily be remembered identically to the way in which it was experienced. The process of encoding and retrieving memories is complex and comprised of many factors. Not everything we perceive becomes stored as memory, and the information that does make it past our mind’s filter is often subject to distortion. The mind can be highly affected by suggestion, even to the point of forming “memories” of events which never took place, i.e. false memories.

After years of fighting with my own conscience, and countless sleepless nights I finally decided to tell a therapist my story. I had never told anyone this story not because I was ashamed or even afraid of telling it but I had honestly forgotten about Sarah. Why or even how I had managed to forget such a woman would be gradually dragged out and dissected by my therapist and local pharmacist. You see I was diagnosed with retroactive interference syndrome better known as RI. A condition that German psychologist Herman Ebbinghaus researched and debated in 1895. Ebbinghaus argued that RI occurs as a function of time. This is when new information affects our ability to recall previously stored memories simply because they are alike. Now Sarah was not like anyone I had met before or will ever meet in my life. That brand of women was few and seldom cherished. The fact that I had forgotten her somehow proves my point.

The community impact, which includes national, state, and community level, is crucial for suicide prevention in adolescents. By having the community involved, it allows a more effective prevention plan, along with measures on how to properly handle the situation more efficiently. The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) Office of the Surgeon General and National Action Alliance for Suicide, revised the National Strategy for Suicide Prevention (NSSP) in 2012. In which, they classified suicide prevention interventions into two categories: prevention targeted at the level of the individual and prevention targeted at the level of the population. (HHS, 2012). To target at the level of the individual, the NSPP emphasized the role

This paper examines the deviant act of youth suicide and how it may correlate with the development of adolescent sexual identification through the findings of a study conducted on youth suicide. The study interviewed 41 young people, parents and youth services providers in relation to youth suicide. The authors acknowledge gender stereotypes as social constructed and extremely influential to what youth constitutes as appropriate feminine and masculine behaviour, adding more stress to those individuals that identify themselves not fitting into a designated gender stereotype. The results from the interview discovered that the traditional structure of gender stereotypes is still prominent in today’s society and negatively impacts young people
