Teenage Depression – Understanding and Preventing Suicide in Teens
People of all ages are susceptible to experiencing stress, confusion and depression from situations or events occurring in their lives. This can often be experienced as so overwhelming that it leads the person to consider suicide as a “solution”. The onset of clinical conditions such as depression or dealing with a negative life circumstance can be so painful that the person’s thoughts frequently turn to ideas about escaping the constant torment of their situation.
This is particularly common in teenagers who lack the resources gained through life experience to overcome difficult life situations. Teens who reach this point feel that they lack the resources to cope with their problems and try to communicate feelings of hopelessness and the expression of insurmountable stress through suicide. While some teenagers attempt suicide as a desperate act to get help from others without the intention of ending life, there are those who have lost all hope that help is obtainable that the goal to end their life becomes a reality.
