Teen suicide - Most teenagers commit suicide when they feel sad, lonely, and depress. The cause for this can be a lot of reasons, based upon research; over one million people commit suicide every year. Teenagers commit suicide because of problems they might be facing, like troubles at school, fight with their parents, or even brake ups and stuff like that. Depression is a big part of why teens commit suicide most of the time, Depression allows teenagers to sink into ideals that everything is hopeless and there is no reason for trying to fix their lives. teen get depress when they do something wrong, or when people bother them, when they feel hopeless and there is when they start thinking they got no reason to live. Some other teenagers can also go in depression, when a family member dies or her/him parent are drug addicts or have a problem with alcohol abuse. When teenagers become depress and they start thinking.

They don’t need their lives anymore, they start doing drugs, and alcohol abuse. . But what most teens don’t know is that when they commit suicide everyone around them gets affected, like their parent, family, neighbors, and friend. Some of this teen, before they kill themselves, they try to talk to people about it or sometimes give them a clue. But the problem is that sometimes parents, or friends don’t know how to listen, when teen have problems in school; and commit suicide because if that, they tell teacher sometime but most of the teacher don’t do nothing, the points that you can always try to prevent it from happening, but you don’t until you see a kid dead.

 Most of reasons for suicide is; school. My cousin went through something similar related to suicide: this is what happened; When we recently moved to Albuquerque, my cousin who is in 8th grade started going to school here, and since she was new some girls didn’t like here, so they stated bugging her and pushing her in the hallways, and this one girl told her one day when they were sitting in the class, that girl gave her a note and it said “I’m going to beat you up”. So my cousin ignores it and continues doing what she was doing. So on Friday of that same week she pushed here against the trash can during lunch, when the bell ring and her friend and her where going to the buses, that girl and her friends (they were 4) they came behind her and stated beating her up. So I guess those girl got caught, so the lady from the office call us and told us what had happened, so me and my aunt when to the school. We talk to the principle and al she said was “sorry, the girls already got suspended”. And she basalt didn’t do nothing about it because 2 days later the girl where backhand up to know they are still bothering her. My cousin talks to me and she was telling me that she was going to runaway and all this because she didn’t wanted to go to school anymore. This story is an example of why teenagers commit suicide.
