The Death Of Teen Suicide

We have all experienced this feeling at least once in our life; the feeling of not being good enough, the feeling of always getting the short end of the stick one would say. Some individuals have felt this for only a few days, some for a few weeks but for others this certain type of negative feeling never goes away until the person does something about it mentally or physically. That something can lead a person to the point they think the only way out is ending their own life. Suicide is a topic that cannot be overlooked. Teen suicide is the third leading cause of death in today’s youth. With these statistics, the question rises are teenagers asking adults for help or are adults ignoring the signs? Teen suicide can be preventable, and the way

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 The largest issue with teen suicide is that Americans are using largely outdated and/or ineffective strategies in dealing with teen suicide, and Americans need to realize that this problem will not just go away.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.

“I’m wearying to escape into that glorious world, and to be always there: not seeing it dimly through tears, and yearning for it through the walls of an aching heart: but really with it, and in it” (Bronte) Every single year in the United States of America, approximately 2 million U.S. adolescents attempt suicide, and almost 700,000 receive medical attention for their attempt. What this means is that each year in the United States, 2,000 youth aged 10-19 complete suicide, making it the 3rd leading cause of death among young people. And here is the thing about teen suicide, every single year, this number continues to increase. The only real conclusions that these institutions have been able to reach is that some kids are merely ‘sick’, suffering

The world we live in today has truly changed, in just the past ten years. Phones are increasingly large, boy bands have become extinct and more teens are committing suicide. Obviously, the biggest issue we have is teen suicide. Teens in this present generation, are seen as the future of our country, and to see suicide become the third-leading cause of death for young people in America, passed by only homicide and car accidents, is a growing concern. The mere thought of a teen taking their life is devastating, and the reasoning for the recent trend is just as shattering.

Teen suicide is big in the USA today, Suicide is not something that can be overlooked. Teenhealths.org states that “It is the third leading cause of dealth in todays youth”.Young teens go threw depression, looking it all over its usally 15-24 year olds go threw this. Suicide is very traumatic when teens go threw all of these different types of depression an anxiety. In this essay, I want to express why this a big problem that we need to learn to notice because it's happening according to the jasons foundation “on average 1 person commits suicide every 16.2 minutes”. I really think that that’s very sad an I want that number to go down.

According to the American Academy of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry (AACAP), suicide is the third leading cause of death for adolescents aged 15-24 years old. This calculates to 33,000 adolescents killing themselves each year (CDC, 2010). The National Conference of State Legislatures (NCSL), reported that suicide amongst all individuals nation wide has declined over all, but despite the decline, adolescents between the ages of 15 and 19 have shown suicide rates that has increased by 6 percent (NCSL, 2005). The most staggering number, however, comes from the population of children between the ages of 10 and 14. For these individuals, suicide rates have increased by more than 100 percent (NCSL, 2005). In this paper, I seek to address the

Suicide and the reasons why they happen is something not many people talk about. According to American Psychiatric Association, suicide is the third leading cause of death for young people between eleven and eighteen years of age and the suicide rate is highest for those who suffer from depression, substance abuse or other mental disorders. But I would have to argue this, I believe that teen suicide has increased over the years because of bullying, parent divorces and depression.

We all know the world has flaws, who doesn't? But these flaws can be easily be solved by a little compassion. Compassion is to be able to be there for someone in need, and to try to relieve the pain and sorrow that they might be feeling.

The methodology used for this research investigation first consisted of posing a question related to the class texts. After, having a conversation with Mrs. Alcala, discussing my topic, I had decided to do my essay on the two-spirit. Doing my research I had a hard time looking for my information and credible sources, so I changed my topic to teen suicide. Starting my essay with the hook, I was trying to write a false story that I ended up revising about 3 times. For the research online about teen suicide I looked for the statistics of how much suicide has increased over the years, shocking to say it has became normal for teen to suicide now days and an article to support my essay. Doing the link for my first CEL paragraph

Population studies reveal that 10-15% teenagers.Teenagers experience strong feelings of stress, confusion, self-doubt, pressure to succeed, financial uncertainty, and other fears while growing up. (KING 1)For some teenagers, divorce, the formation of a new family with step-parents and step-siblings, or moving to a new community can be very unsettling and can intensify self-doubts.

Teen Suicide comes from Drug Use, Depression,and Bipolar Disorder,it ranks as the third leading cause of death among youth aged 15 to 24 years of age.

You’re sitting at your desk,with your long, light brown hair in a plait falling naturally over your left shoulder. You’re looking down at your harmed wrists. Looking down at them, realising that pain you had given yourself, just isn’t as surreal as it used to be. You’re breathing heavily now, saying to yourself “It’s time to go.” Repeating those four words over and over again. School just couldn't have been worse today, and of course your parents were yet again fighting around your wooden eight seater dining table at breakfast today. You can’t seem to find anyway out of your depression, you’ve battled it for years, striving for some kind of incentive. Maybe you were just looking for that serendipity that never came.
