Reason Teenagers Commit Suicide

Teenage Suicide

Each and every year teenagers take their own lives. Some reasons that teenagers commit suicide, or contemplate committing suicide are family stress, issues with school, and problems with relationships among friends, peers, and love.

Firstly, a reason for a teenager to commit suicide is complications with family life at home. The teenager’s parents may fight a lot causing the teen to feel that the fight is because of something that they did. If parents become divorced it can be very hard on a teen; they may think the divorce is their fault, or that they did something wrong to cause their parents to do so. When parents become divorced it can also be hard on a teen because the parents may want the teen to choose between parents. It is also hard to not seeing both of your parents at the same time like it was before. During a divorce parents often ask the teen to lie to the other parent, this causes the teen to feel bad for holding information from the other parent (Adolescent Suicide). Another issue that could happen with family life that could cause conflict is, the family could add a new family member that needs a lot of attention, such as a baby or an elderly person. This could cause the teen to feel that they are non wanted, unloved, neglected, forgotten, or abandoned. The may feel that since their parents are not paying as much attention to them, that their parents do not love them as much as their parents love the new member to the family. Some parents are very busy with things, such as, their job, and can not spend time home, or with their teen. If a teen needs help with a problem and their parent is gone all of the time, it can also cause the teen to feel like their parents do not want to help them, if this happens often the teen will feel that the parent never helps them at all. This can also cause the teen to feel that they are not needed, wanted, or loved. When the teen is left alone often, they can also feel like their parents do
