Others who are willing to help!Suicide is the 3rd leading cause of death for teenagers between the ages of 15 and 19! Over 1,600 teenagers commit suicide EACH YEAR...and that number is rising.It is important to take suicide attempts seriously.Males are four times more likely to die from suicide than females. However, teen girls are more likely than teen boys to attempt suicide. So, even though teenage girls make more attempts on their own lives than teenage boys, the boys are more likely to actually complete a suicide attempt. They do not allow for intervention, and are less likely to “call for help†through a suicide attempt, since there is often little opportunity to get males into treatment since their suicide completion rate is higher than that of females.Intense feelings can contribute to a teen’s sense of helplessness and to a general feeling that life is not worth living. Taking these feelings seriously is an important part of preventing teen suicide.
