“Standing on the edge of Life and Death”
Teenage suicide has become a critical, national problem the extent of which is beyond belief. Each year, thousands of our teenagers are dying, not from cancer or car accidents, but by their own hands; they make the choice to take their lives. They see it as a way to end all the suffering that they feel within themselves. Some feel like life isn’t worth living and saw no other way out. Depression is the typical trigger for most suicide attempts.
As a state of extreme grief and sadness, depression, if left untreated, may lead to a deliberate murder of oneself, suicide. Depression affects individuals with out discriminating against race, gender, or age, yet among adolescents, the incidents of depression have increased significantly. Such increase is the potential cause of the rise of suicide rates. Therefore it is very important to treat depression before attempts of suicide are made, because if neglected, such attempts could become successful.
Suicide is a permanent solution to a temporary problem. I have had personal experience with teen suicide involving people I know, and the next time that one of them comes to me saying, I want to die. I want to be able to understand where they are coming from and how I can help them.
People who commit suicide most likely do it because they were trying to escape from a situation that seemed impossible to deal with. Some people who end their lives or attempt suicide might be trying to escape feelings of rejection, hurt, or loss. Others might be angry, ashamed, or guilty about something. Some people may be worried about disappointing friends or family members. And some may feel unwanted, unloved, victimized, or like they’re a burden to others.
During the adolescent years, normal teenagers experience strong feelings of stress, confusion, self-doubt, and other fears while growing up. These feelings in themselves are not harmful, but normal. However those who can not handle these situations are ones that are prone to suicide.
How do people get to this suicidal place? Suicide can be thought of as a severe method of harmful coping behavior that a number of people choose when faced with situations that are overpowering their ability to function. As a coping mechanism, suicide is generally a method of last resort.
Suicidal people have come to believe that suicide represents their only hope of escape from an overwhelming, chronic and negative situation. Suicidal people choose death because they cannot or do not appreciate, or do not know about alternative coping methods. Suicide can thus be prevented. (http://resources.atcmhmr.com/poc/view_doc.php?type=doc&id=13755&cn=9 )
So why does one person try suicide when another person in the same tough situation does not? What makes some people better able to deal with life’s setbacks and difficulties than others? What makes a person unable to see another way out of a bad situation besides ending his or her life? The answer to those questions lies in the fact that most people who commit suicide have depression. (“Suicide.” KidsHealth 02 Apr. 2009 http://kidshealth.org/teen/your_mind/mental_health/suicide.html .)
Risk factors may be thought of as leading or being associated with suicide; that is, people possessing these risk factors are at a greater potential for suicidal behavior. “Risk factors may be biopsychosocial, environmental or social cultural nature.” The impact of some risk factors can be clearly reduced by going to therapy and strengthening social support in your neighborhood.
Biopsychosocial risk factors consist of numerous things. Mental disorders, alcohol and other drug disorders and hopelessness are a few. Several other risks include impulsive and/or aggressive tendencies, history of trauma or abuse, major physical illness are some. Previous suicide attempt and history of suicides are two of the risk factors that cannot change and “can alert others to the heightened risk of suicide during periods of the recurrence of mental abuse following a significant stressful life event.”
Environmental risk factors include a number of different things. Job or financial loss is one of the things that can trigger contemplating suicide. Obviously people who are unemployed experience financial stress and some people just don’t know how to deal with it. Relational or social loss and easy accesses to lethal means are other risk factor.
Social cultural risk factors are the last threats for suicide. People who feel like they are alone are at a higher risk for suicide because with that sense of isolation around them they don’t know where to turn to. Exposure to the suicide of others, whether through the media or among close friends or acquaintances are another factor that should be watched. (http://www.sprc.org/library/srisk.pdf )
