Most teens need help and are too afraid to ask for it. If a person is aware of the symptoms and

Researchers conduct hypotheses that suicide could be contagious. Researchers had a total of 22,064 individuals ages 12 to 17. When conducting the study they met on cycles to monitor the exposure to suicide. All groups which were separated into age had an outcome of 95% of exposure to suicide. Researchers also questioned how often certain groups were or had feelings of depression or suicidal thoughts from stressful events during the cycles. In further research, 24.1% from the ages 16 and 17 responded that someone from school has committed suicide and which 20.1%

On average, every day, 121 people die from suicide, which means 44,193 deaths each year just in the United States. On the other hand, for every one suicide, there are at least 25 attempts. Every attempt that “failed” is just another chance to save a life. An unknown source once quoted “Suicide doesn’t end the chances of life getting worse, it eliminates the possibility of it ever getting any better.” There are multiple methods a person can choose from to commit suicide, but this essay will be discussing two specific methods: jumping from the Golden Gate Bridge and physician-assisted suicide.

The story ‘When ends meet: Life after suicide,’ was a piece I wrote for my university Journalism Unit Feature Writing. The piece explores a 19-year-old female named Jessica Player who recollects her traumatic past when her father committed suicide in their family home. I initially stumbled across a Facebook page campaigning for men’s mental health awareness called “Manhood” after a friend had shared it to their page. I noticed that this page had not been widely received having only a fifty or so likes at the time. It made me interested as to what the catalyst behind the campaign was. I contacted the page and the story began to unfold. I soon discovered that this young woman was actually from my area and had created

Euthanasia and assisted suicide is a highly controversial topic because it literally deals with the matters of life and death. Once the procedure is done on a patient, it cannot be undone. In Canada, the issue on this topic has been discussed time and time again. The documentary The Trouble With Dying goes in depth on several patients and medical professionals as well as what their perspective on the subject is. Through this documentary, the audience was able to have an eye -opening experience and piece together their own viewpoint on the matter.

When anybody is tormented I would venture to say they are not thinking clearly at all and that the actions of a tormented person are not the best around. Saul when he was tormented, he took a spear and tossed it at his son in law David, with the intentions of killing him.

The Golden Gate Bridge is “considered to be one of the best and most beautiful examples of bridge design” (Poel and Royakkers 110). Unfortunately, this bridge is also "the US's most popular place to commit suicide" (110). Due to this fact, bridge designers decided that they needed to consider the option of installing some sort of suicide prevention system. Before any decision was made, the ramifications of both implementing a system and not implementing one had to be considered. Deciding whether or not to implement a system calls for an in-depth analysis of the ethics. One must identify the ethical dilemmas present, and provide analysis on the effects on all the stakeholders involved.

The more a question is argued the better that question becomes it is often said. That question begins to grow and the side effect of this is the more people it reaches. Whether that question can be put into a category of right or wrong it begs to be answered. Knowledge is something that people instinctively need to function when faced with a problem, an answer must be found or it begins to form eminent possibility in any direction.

On average, 121 people commit suicide per day. It is the 10th leading cause of death in America. Why are there so many? What are the warning signs? Because a large number of people do not know the warning signs, they pin the person’s reasoning on how unhappy the person was, and, therefore, they continue to be oblivious to the numerous cautions. The truth is, those people did not know the warning signs and did not recognize them. The average Joe is not the only one to miss those signs, celebrities often do it too. “How to Save a Life” by The Fray uses rhetorical devices to draw the audience’s attention to look for people who need help but will not ask for it.
