So they try to kill themselves thinking its the only way out of their situation. Most of this happens because of depression.

Depression makes people think that the problem they are having can't be overcome. That's why depressed people don't realize that suicide is a permanent solution to a bad problem they are having. A teen with depression may feel like there's no other way out of problems, no other escape from emotional pain, or no other way to communicate a desperate unhappiness. A lot of teens are starting to get depression more often now, I don't know the exact reason why they are getting depression but they are. The sad part is some people that I meet say they have depression but they are actually just saying that to get attention. Other are telling the truth and actually do have depression.

The drugs and alcohol have a affect on the brain that makes the teens think bad thoughts about themselves. ]]> 2019-01-29 16:20:30 UTC https://padlet.com/2479069/wr7h75mn2yst/wish/325467626 2479069 https://padlet.com/2479069/wr7h75mn2yst/wish/325469046 Some teen plan suicide in advance,  A situation like a breakup, a big fight with a parent, an unintended pregnancy, being outed by someone else, or being victimized in any way can cause someone to feel very depressed. Often, a situation like this, on top of an existing depression, makes the person want to kill themselves.]]> 2019-01-29 16:22:53 UTC https://padlet.com/2479069/wr7h75mn2yst/wish/325469046 2479069 https://padlet.com/2479069/wr7h75mn2yst/wish/325472832 Usually when teens are thinking about committing suicide there are some warning signs like the person talking about death and things related to that. Going away from friends and family and not wanting to do fun activities, if they are in school their grades will probably go down sense they wont be thinking like normal, they also wont sleep as much. There are probably a lot more warning signs too I was just naming some of them
