Teenage Suicide...
Being unable to express one's feeling, constant pressures from one's society and being unable to accept certain circumstances are probably the main causes of teenage suicides. Referring to the text titled "Teenage Suicide" there has been an increasing trend in cases of teenage suicide in past few decades and suicide has been the third leading killer of teenagers after accidents and murders.
There are several 'determinants', the term suggested by Allen, that significantly affect teenager's decision on committing suicide. These factors are divided into three, including the predisposing factors, predictors of suicide and the precipitating events that lead to suicide. Parenting system, peer pressures, and acceptance of suicidal, for instance, are the three of the many determinants towards suicide. Allen, in response to the increasing trend of cases of teenager suicide also discusses the possible ways to 'dampen' the number of suicides. The solutions include the campaigns against suicide through education which trains the teenagers to be open minded, and to be rational as they are facing certain life problems.
