What Is The Third Leading Cause Of Suicide In Today's Society

In today’s society, suicide is the third leading cause of death among the younger age group. More teenagers die from suicide rather than diseases such as cancer, heart disease, or STD’s. There are approximately 4,500 deaths due to cyberbullying on social media. Every seven minute, a child is being bullied and statistics shows that only 4% of the children have adult intervention, 11% with peer intervention, and 85% of the children have no intervention. Bullied students are more likely to grow up more socially anxious, less self-esteem, and even mental problems causing them to have a higher percentage in taking their live and self harm. According to Raising Children Network, children and teenagers are easily influenced by their surroundings.
