CAUSES OF TEEN SUICIDE

“Because if you kill yourself, you’re also going to kill the people who love you.”

Suicides are not a step any one will take.Suicide is when a teen causes his or her death on any purpose. Suicide is third leading cause of death in young people mostly teenagers . The CDC reports that:

• Boys are 4 time more likely to die from suicide than girls.
• Girls are more likely to commit suicide than the boys.

The teen years are the stressful time. They are filled with major changes. These include body changes,  changes in thoughts, and changes in feelings. Strong feelings of stress, confusion, fear, and doubt may affect a teen's problem-solving and decision-making. He or she may also feel a pressure to succeed.

For some teens, normal developmental changes can be very unsettling when combined with other events, such as:

→ Changes in their families, such as divorce, siblings moving out, or moving to a new town 

→ Changes in friendship

→ Problems in school

→ Other losses 

Teen suicides are increasing at a high rate

Teenagers have so much emotional changes and they also face many challenges to deal with everything like study pressure, peer pressure , broken friendship, failing exams , anger of parents .
I always think about the reason if I heard anyone attempt or commit suicide by knowing about the environment the person had. Environment means person surroundings in which he or she lives, family, friends, etc . This plays a vital role in thinking of any person , thinking process comprises of most of the happenings he or she watch all day and if it was unpleasant or disturbing for them then it will lead to production negative thoughts and will change the persons behaviour. He or she maybe sad all the time. 

Nowdays relationships are also the main reason for teen suicides. Most of the teenagers are going through depression and stress because of this thing they don't understand how much they mean to there family and friends if they had heartbreak and can die for this reason they need to understand how precious they are. If I consider it as an example they may get idea of committing suicide and leave the world. We cannot know someones thoughts what they are thinking how much sad they are or the situation they are going through we should respect everyone and understand and support them.
Think about it. "If from the age of three you are more familiar with the tears than smiles, anger than laughter, belittling than  uplifting, abandonment than comfort, and etc. Those feelings grow and at times they grow into — I’ll rather leave Earth than suffer."
One girl who is cheerful and happy everytime and surrounding with so many good friends who u met in the morning hanged herself in evening what will be your reaction. Why this girl has taken this step what's wrong she is alright in morning then what happened then. Reason can be anything because there are many causes of suicides, and teenage is the most delicate stage of life you have mixed emotions, heartbreaks, betrayal in friendship, emotional breakdown, unsupportive family, frustration, depression, parent fighting infront of their children, seeing divorce of parents,etc .
Parenting is also a very big cause of suicides. Some parents even don't know what is going on in their children's life are they happy or not. If they have any problem then children didn't even know how to discuss with there parents because their parents never make this type of bond with them.
