I think they should grow up and find something better to do. |

Really? I hadn't seen anything like that. I've seen one or two but they seem like cynical types trying to get a rise on the good graces of others. Not too many others, mind you. I'm also wondering if when each of us clicks scanning the questions list if it isn't personalized by user without the answerer's knowledge? Do we all see the same screens? Same questions? I'm noticing I only see certain types of questions no matter what I click to. Weeeeeiiiiirrrddd. |

Personally, I think it's just a cry out for attention and very few are actually genuine. |

I think MOST of it is just a sad attempt to get attention. They think even BAD attention is ok.
I think it's safe to say that most of us had depression when we were teenagers. It's a stage and it does pass. Yes, there are those who do feel it is the only way out and those are the ones who would never come on here. They just go do it. Those are the ones who make me sad. |

Talking about suicide is not correlated with active suicide. Talking about it means that they are healthy enough to know to seek help. Behaviour is a much greater indicator of serious problems. |

I think the world is very cynical so much to the point where suicide is a natural thought as a product of this horrible horrible world |

Don't do it. WHenever somebody jumps off a bridge, but the live through it, the person always says that as soon as they jump, they regret doing it.
DON'T DO IT. |

i agree. there was a person I was speaking to from here who posted something real scary and seemed real sad about being alone and lonely, yet when i reached out and tried to be friendly he talked about ending it all... and hasnt posted anything since. ive tried to contact a few other times but i dont know what else to do. i dont know if it was an attention ploy and just a game or serious. |

Where ever you find teens, you are bound to find that at least one of them is comtemplating suicide. Teens these days are just unable to deal with stress, or they have low self-esteem. Others are in abusive relationships whether with parents or partners. You just have to encourage them to seek help. Suicide and self-inflicted injuries are a serious issue. |

It's unfortunate that people are suicidal. I know I feel those feelings to a degree every day. It's very hard. Some people are stronger than others and try to seek help. It's no surprise that people feel this way. A lot of people are acting that way because it's "emo"... Which is sad, really. |

I agree! People need to be more understanding of those individuals. They are feeling so bad they can not imagine tomorrow. Just offer a kind work of encouragement.
Things will be just fine, it just takes time. |

PARENTS PUSH THEIR TEEN KIDS A SIDE ..THEY ARE LOOKING FOR LOVE AND END UP PREGNANT AND /OR IN TROUBLE WITH THE LAW.. ALSO THE PERSON THEY HOOK UP WITH ONLY WANTS ONE THING AND DOES NOT SHOW ANY LOVE
PLUS BROKEN UP FAMILIES CAN CAUSE TEENS TO BE DEPRESSED |

Life is tough when you are a teenager, so much peer pressure, grief from parents, stress from school, bullying etc.
I was a teenager once, but I am cured now! |

I'm afraid suicide and attemped suicide is rife in our culture at the moment. I am a Samaritan and face it almost every day. There is so much pressure put on teens these days, if not real it is perceived. There are so many marriage break ups that affect children, and though I don't believe child abuse has increased, we are just more aware of it, I do believe we are made to think and analyse things more, and this has spread to teenagers. Believe me it is not just rife in teenagers though, but very common in men. |

I agree with you. Life is too short as it is, and to have the need to shorten the time is very sad. All we can do it try and give solid advice and pray for them. |

It's nothing new...just hasn't been brought to attention in the past when things like Yahoo Answers didn't exist.
I was very suicidal as a teen. My parents thought I was being overly-dramatic and/or trying to get attention. Yes, I *was* trying to get attention AND I wanted to die.
I think many, many people are of the mindset that suicidal teenagers aren't to be taken seriously. They'll probably continue to feel that way until someone they know is one of the ones who actually follows through.
Just because "teenage" problems may seem silly or insignificant to adults...one should remember just how world-shattering and important they are to the teens experience them.
Re Cobalt's Answer: Not true, period. Constant thoughts of death, contemplating suicide and talking to others about suicide are warning signs. People who *do* follow through have often talked about it for a long time beforehand...the cry for attention and for help is just that...a cry for attention and help. The cries that aren't answered are often the ones whose funerals need planned. |
