many interviewed teens said they needed an escape from something they saw as impossible to get through. for example, a few that were listed were hurt, loss, and rejection. overwhelming emotions can come from these, and those emotions make it hard to function so these teens saw suicide as an escape from those emotions and problems in their life. {things such as anger, guilt, embarrassment, etc.} depression is another thing that may lead to suicide, another overwhelming thing that they feel they need an escape from. ]]> 2019-01-30 17:07:01 UTC https://padlet.com/2481488/awarenessbyjai/wish/325933623 2481488 https://padlet.com/2481488/awarenessbyjai/wish/325935550
no good outcome, all failure, no way out. that's part of the mindset of someone who is depressed/has depression. distorted thinking/mindset, painful thoughts, suicidal thoughts. just more of what depression can be. there is things to help with depression and coping. but its hard to see that, or to see the positive outcomes/impact on you it could have. '... depressed people don't see that suicide is a permanent solution to a temporary problem.' this is true. due to the mindset and way of thinking that depressed people have, they don't and cant see a way out of it all, or reach out for help easily...]]> 2019-01-30 17:11:14 UTC https://padlet.com/2481488/awarenessbyjai/wish/325935550 2481488 https://padlet.com/2481488/awarenessbyjai/wish/325938855
these two substances are definitely not healthy and safe for teens, and those who use them could be more at risk for suicide attempts/suicidal thoughts. genes and family history could also play a role here. 

these substances, are what depressed people see as another escape besides immediate suicide. but, using these could actually intensify/worsen the depressive effects on the brain, making suicide a definite possibility. not everyone who is depressed or commits suicide uses these substances, but they usually are possible.]]> 2019-01-30 17:18:00 UTC https://padlet.com/2481488/awarenessbyjai/wish/325938855 2481488 https://padlet.com/2481488/awarenessbyjai/wish/325942004
sometimes people contemplate their suicide, and plan it ahead of time, looking for the perfect time to do it. but that's not always the case, they could see things as so bad that they impulsively commit suicide in desperate need for escaping what it may be that they're facing.]]> 2019-01-30 17:23:50 UTC https://padlet.com/2481488/awarenessbyjai/wish/325942004 2481488 https://padlet.com/2481488/awarenessbyjai/wish/325943108
