Suicide                                           


What causes suicide?


Suicide is a serious public health problem that devastates individuals, families, and communities. It is the 11th leading cause of death among most Americans. But suicide deaths are only part of the problem. More       people survive suicide attempts than they actually die. More than 31,0000 people kill themselves each year, more than 425,000 people with self-inflinched injuries are treated in emergency rooms each year. Suicidal people feel that they can no longer cope with their problems and that they think suicide is the only way.
Most people think about suicide at some point in their own lives between 12 and yrs old.

Why Why do people choose suicide?


A suicidal person feels isolated from people not able to concentrate on their goals, and their future. They feel that they can't cope with their issues
They chose suicide as an easy way out many suicidal behaviors are based on depression, bipolar disorder , and discomfort at home, work , or school. Due to the cause of depression being fired from work, and other surroundings. Shane Halligan 16, a 11th grader at Spring township High , removed an AK--47 rifle from his gym bag.

The reason Shane committing  suicide he wanted to go to a U.S. army training camp for high school students next summer but Shane received a bad report card and his parents told him he couldn't go unless he raised his grades.         






Suicide by Purpose



I believe that suicide is not okay at all because there are other ways of dealing with issues instead of committing suicide. I think young teens like me should talk to someone they trust and know that they're going to help you with their issues in a positive way. They should think about the people around them and their loved ones, that they are going to hurt because you are not going to hurt yourself but the people that ;love you are going to suffer but then you decided to end your life that way.
