Suicide attempts are very common among the troubled teens. According to recent study about 40 to 50 percent trouble teenagers will have thought about suicide and about 30 percent have made a suicide attempt.

Suicidal thinking, obviously, is a very mixed bag. There are children who just say it for effect someone. There are kids who say it when they're feeling low. There are kids who say it when they really mean it, and so on. And because it's so common, it's not necessarily very indicative of what goes on underneath.

Teenagers are more likely to commit suicide, as they grow older. Teens who are most likely to take your own life are 18-19 year olds. They account for half of all teenager suicides. Most suicides occur among boys. It's five times more common in teen boys than girls. Family history is also important in it. Suicide is about twice as common if there's a history of suicide on one side of the family.

The person who is at maximum risk is teenager because he is loses their temper quickly, is prone to very great emotions and who may also have some dejection or substance abuse. There are two emotions that seem to underlie suicide: one is the inability to control your emotions, feelings and acts, and the other is hopelessness.

Reasons, which forced to the teenagers to go from thinking about suicide to attempting it-

Traditional features are change in which the teen becomes less friendly with friends, preferring to stay at home and more self-critical. A teenager may be truly passionate about a particular kind of sport or something else and then they just stop doing it. Sometimes the children will say that the work they've done is lousy or that people don't like them or that they're ugly. Sometimes the children just get very irritable and snappy and, if their parents question them, they'll snap back.

They're not very unique, and they're events that are experienced by tens of thousands of children day by day and barely ever result in suicide. Usually, it's getting into trouble and being found out: maybe they are found cutting classes, cheating or stealing something from another kid. The death will usually take place very shortly after the discovery, before the person knows what the consequences are going to be.

Other triggers are perhaps ordinary youth experiences, include breakups with a friends, some kind of public shame like a losing fight or being insulted in front of others.

During period of insecurity, there's most likely a great deal of fear and worry and that seems to be what drives the suicide. They just want to get away from that very terrible feeling.

Parents and friends help to prevent a potential suicide

Friends and parents should be on the watch for warning signs. The most important things to look for are really the features of depression. Some of the classic things that you're taught are warnings such as writing a will and giving your possessions away. These are very, very infrequent, and they hardly ever occur before a suicide.

Suicide can be prevented by increasing awareness of depression. Most teenagers don't know what is depression. They just feel that they're terrible people. They don't think they're depressed, and most of their parents think that the kids are just being teens, so it's under-identified. Educate children about the warning signs of depression.
