According to a recent analysis, an increase in teen suicides was found between 2007 and 2015 in which the suicide rate increased 31% for young boys and doubled for young girls (unknown, 2017).
B. Teen suicide is a problem on a local level.
Though it is apparent that teen suicide is a significant problem both at a national and local level, it is also clear that many people are uneducated about teen suicide and its signs. II. The second part of the problem is that people do not know enough about teen suicide and cannot identify the signs. A. According to Kaslow, a psychiatric disorder, particularly a mood disorder like depression, or a trauma are the most common signs of a future suicide attempt (Kaslow, n.d.). B. Kaslow states that family history of suicide can also significantly contribute and be of concern as a warning sign (Kaslow, n.d.). C.
In addition, one of the myths about suicidal talk, and actual suicide attempts, in young people is that they are just looking for attention and are dismissed as overdramatic (Kaslow, n.d.).
Teen suicide is a significant problem that needs to be addressed. A solution is desperately needed. III. The solution I propose is to prevent teen suicide by helping people identify the signs and report the warning signs. This solution will work because nobody wants to see someone close to them going through something. A. Internet websites and prevention programs have shown to reduce child abuse.
