Yes,it caught your attention but what brings about it is left neglected
Indeed, teen suicide is on the rise, particularly among adolescent girls. It's the third leading cause of death for those ages 10 to 24. And, sometimes teens grapple with, things like maybe not getting into the college they hoped for, anxiety about final exams, dashed prom date hopes and other setbacks, for some with mental illness, especially, can lead to hopelessness and depression.
For a teenager with depression or other mental illnesses or even teenagers that have once had suicide thoughts or even people with low esteem it is not advisable for any of such poeple to see a sucidal movie because at times it strengthens their thought of trying it.
It is good that parents have discussion with their kids about suicide and mental issues as well as knowing a way to go about it or who to visit incase such arises.
Parents should make sure their children can talk to them freely because only then can they tell them about their struggles and pains, majority of people who commits suicide usually have mental illnesses or depression.In no way does conversing with people about depression plants the seed of doing it or carrying out,most times talking about it brings them to air and if they trust you there's a high probability of them spilling their problems,also visiting doctors and therapists as well as having positive thoughts is also encouraging,if you suspect that they have any mental illnesses or depression get them help asap
Try to spot out risk factors, they're some factors or signs that a person might consider suicide,try to notice if they have had such thoughts jokingly or not,try to know if they lost someone dear to them or they have been through recent breakups or pain or truama,listen to what they say,they're likely to give verbal warning like saying no one cares about me,I would do everyone good by leaving or saying no one wants me , everyone hates me, everyone wishes I was gone,I just want the pain to stop...words like this should be taken seriously....
Try to notice their mood or behaviour,ask them how they're feeling, notice if they've been crying a lot or if they have been more bipolar or moody,sad,anger or a mix of all,if you know these signs it is easier for you to stop them from commiting suicide,notice if they're giving out their belongings for no reason or suddenly talking a lot about it or even writing and recording more often ..
If you notice anything like this you try to know if it's as serious as it seems,try to connect with them and understand how they feel,make them understand that you're there for them,listen to every little thing they want to say because from little things comes serious,let someone close to them know and seek help for them...
Let's come together and reduce the amount suicide, let's be smart and let's not act blind to what's in front of us.
