Teenage suicide is the process of self-killing by the teenager.
There may be some problem due to which they attempt to end their
life. The suicide rate among teenagers was decreased in the
past 15 years but it was increased too much in ratio in the
last 5 years. Mostly the teenagers of 11 to 19 years old try
to commit suicide. In the year 2001 about 134,000 teenagers
commit suicide. Among the united state the suicide rate was
higher of male teenager than the female teenagers in late 1990.
More preventive measures have been taken in the last ten years,
including increased understanding of the risk factors and causes
and spreading information to schools and parents.
Teenagers are committing suicide in high ratio. About 5000
teenagers commit suicide every year. Among them 15 to 24 years
old people are in main. Whites commit suicide at a higher
rate, than African-Americans, Asians and Hispanics. The most
common method of committing suicide (58%) involves firearms.

easily accessible to a suicidal person can drastically reduce
their chance of them taking their own life. Followers of religions
that strongly prohibit suicide, like Christianity and Islam,
have a higher suicide rate than those religions which have
no strong prohibition (e.g. Buddhism and Hinduism.

There is an overwhelming that after committing suicide they

relief from that position and other bad feelings they try
to commit suicide. Some people who end their lives or attempt
suicide might be trying to escape feelings of rejection, hurt,
or loss. Others might be angry, ashamed, or guilty about something.
Some people may be worried about disappointing friends or
family members. Some may feel that they are unwanted, unloved,
victimized, or like they’re a burden to others.
Mostly teenagers that commit suicide are not cared or loved
by their parents. So the parents try to pay attention on their
teen and try to take care. Get your teen necessary help so
that they can not be able to think about suicide. If you are
a friend of some one and you know that he/she is planning
for committing suicide, try to tell their parents as soon
as possible. Find out who or what they fear and attempt to
agree on who can be trusted with this information, but do
not wait to notify the appropriate individuals. Better to
anger someone by revealing their secret, than to see them
dead because you didn't tell someone who could help them.
