Michelle Singler 1-A __**Teenage suicide**__ = "Everyday in America, Six teenagers commit suicide and every year more than 5,000 teenagers commit suicide" (livestrong 1). One of these 5,000 lives could have been saved if a teacher or student talked to them. Female students are significantly more likely to attempt suicide than male students but the male students are more likely to commit suicide. Peer pressure, bullying, and relationship breakups are some of the causes of teenage suicide, that effect both male and female students. Helping these children is a task that anyone can do, but it’s an individual’s choice if they want to be helped or not. Teenage suicide is a number one leading cause of death world wide for teens, but it can be prevented. All that anyone needs to do is to help the male and female students overcome their problems, prevent peer pressure and bullying, or by just telling them reasons not to commit suicide. = = = = Female and male students either attempt or commit suicide, because some care too much about other what people think, and this leads them to believe that if they don't fit in then the have no reason to live. Caring too much about what others think of you can lead to depression, stress, and it will lead to the attempt of suicide. This can be prevented if people started to care less about what other people thought of them and more about just accepting themselves. Relationships can also lead to teen suicide because teenagers care more about finding love that their own school work. Not having a relationship and just hanging-out with your friends will help lower the possibilities of teen suicide and just talking to someone about problems that are too difficult to handle will help prevent teen suicide too. = = = = Peer pressure, bullying, and relationship breakups are some causes of teen suicide and they affect both males and females equally. Peer pressure is a strong cause of teen suicide because it can affect a group of people not just a single person. When a student believes that he/she does not fit in or do the things that the groups think is cool it will lead to bullying, stress, and finally suicide. This could have been prevented if the student had asked a teacher for help, talked a counselor about their problems, or just having someone tell them that they are cool in their own way. Relationships develop a big problem for young people because they want to stay together forever, especially the females. As young people you should not be tied down to one relationship and the relationship should not be taken seriously. Not giving in to peer pressure, stopping bullying when you see, and even not having a strong relationship when your young will help stop teen suicide. = = = = There are many reasons why teenagers should live and not take away their own life, and the main reason is because a persons life is just starting when you become a teenager. Teenagers are young and healthy they can do things that they will not be able to do when they turn 50 and older. Climbing mountains, going to parties, and having fun with peers are some things that teenagers should do while they are still young and alive. Some teenagers will not like the same things as other do, but that is what makes each and everyone of them special and unique. Having a family, being an older sibling, and wanting to be successful in life are also some reasons a teenager should not commit suicide. Telling a teenager some reasons to live can help save their lives, so their loved ones would not have to suffer at the loss of a friend, sibling, or their own child. = = = = Helping the teenagers stop committing suicide is a task that anyone can do, and helping one teenager will also help another. Teenagers need to speak to someone and have someone listen to them. Teachers can help by just listening to them or even giving them advice. Parents can help by loving their child and giving them strength and courage. Strangers can also help by giving them compliments or reasons to enjoy life. Teenagers are in the prime of their lives where they get to explore and see new things, but if they end their lives then they will never learn about happiness and that there is more to life than death. =
