According to one study, poverty is the main cause of many problems teens encounter, including crime among adolescents: “Poverty is so strongly connected to nearly everything adults think is wrong with "kids today"—murder, violent crime, unintended pregnancy, AIDS, smoking, dropping out of school—that it dwarfs every other factor” (Males 1). Because the rates of poverty are constantly increasing, so are the rates of juvenile crime. Teens who were raised in poverty-filled families believe that they can take care of themselves. If they need something, they will do whatever is necessary to get it- which, in most cases, means that they will steal it. If they cannot afford to buy it, most of the time that does not mean they will not get it.

The purpose of this paper is to explain the causes of teen suicide. This paper will include statistics and some background information on suicide survivors. Also this report will discuss some warning signs of teen suicide. <br>It is important to take the subject of suicide seriously.
