"During the past quarter century, the suicide rate has tripled among young people fifteen to twenty-four years old. More than five thousand teens now take their own lives each year in the United Sates (Colman, 9). Next to accidents and homicides, suicide is the most common cause of death for people (Vine, 101). Suicide is the sixth leading cause of death in the ages of 5-14 years old! We see the media covering different areas about teenage suicide. Some of us may wonder what exactly caused those teens to go and end their life. What can we do to prevent the suicide rates to increase and help decrease it?"
