Teenage Suicide

I’m reading a book called “teenage suicide” by Peggy J. Parks”. So far in this book I learned important facts that will help me in the children’s book project. This book shows me different reasons why tens take their own lives. It also taught me what causes teenagers to committing suicide. Also this book taught me that more males commit suicide then girls. Teenagers kill themselves in different ways. This book gave me the information I need for later assignments and projects. I also learned that more teenagers consider committing suicide then actually attempting.

Some of the facts I did learn were more females consider committing suicide then male but males actually commit suicide. Females attempt to commit suicide more than males but they do not succeed. Men mostly use firearms and falls more than using suffocation and poisoning. Bullying is mostly what causes suicide, also depression. All in this entire book will help me a lot on my assignments and my recent project.

While I was reading this book I noticed a very important topic. I noticed that there is a way to prevent teenagers from committing suicide. Parents should be more concerned about there children’s social life. Parents also should get closer with their child by talking to them, helping them with homework or just have fun with your child. Also if your child is getting bullied you should talk to the principle.

Another important topic is that how do you know that your child is considering to commit suicide. First thing you want to look at is there grades. If you see your child’s grades sinking that’s a sign. Also if the child isn’t into any activity and not playing around with other kids is a sign of suicide. Also make sure your child is not stressed. Also your child might start cleaning a particular area for example their rooms. If your child is not acting normal or gave up in life that might show depression and that will lead to suicide.

In conclusion I learned that a lot of kids take their lives because of a problem that they think they can’t fix. Such as bullying, abuse and depression. Kids die from suicide almost every day, and my goal is to reduce this problem. Also this book will help me in the future. All in all I hope that I can help save teenagers lives.
