Suicide took the lives of 29,199 Americans in 1999.

More people die from suicide than from homicide. I.E.- in 1999, there were 1.7 times as many suicides as homicides.

Overall, suicide is the 11th leading cause of death for all Americans,

and is the third leading cause of death for young people aged 15-24. 1999, white males accounted for 72% of all suicides. Together,

white males and white females accounted for over 90% of all suicides. However, during the period from 1979-1992, suicide ratesfor Native Americans (a category that includes American Indians and Alaska Natives) were about 1.5 times the national rates. There was a disproportionate number of suicides among youngmale Native Americans during this period, as males 15-24 accounted for 64% of all suicides by Native Americans.

Suicide rates are generally higher

than the national average in the

western states and lower in the

eastern and midwestern states.

Nearly 3 of every 5 suicides in

1999 (57%) were committed with a

firearm.

Persons under age 25 accounted for 14% of all suicides in 1999.

From 1952-1995, the incidence of suicide among adolescents and

young adults nearly tripled. From 1980-1997, the rate of suicide

among persons aged 15-19 years increased by 11% and among

persons aged 10-14 years by 109%. From 1980-1996, the rate

increased 105% for African-American males aged 15-19.

For young people 15-24 years old, suicide is the third leading

cause of death, behind unintentional injury and homicide. In 1999,

more teenagers and young adults died from suicide than from

cancer,heart disease, AIDS, birth defects, stroke, and chronic lung

disease combined.

The risk for suicide among young people is greatest among

young white males; however, from 1980 through 1995, suicide

rates increased most rapidly among young black males. Although

suicide among young children is a rare event, the dramatic increase

in the rate among persons aged 10-14 years underscores the urgent

need for intensifying efforts to prevent suicide among persons in

this age group.

Among persons aged 15-19 years, firearm-related suicides

accounted for more than 60% of the increase in the overall rate

of suicide from 1980-1997.

Adolescence grow sexually and physically, but they don’t realize what’s happening to their bodies, and

because of that they get angry. Their parents need to realize that and figure how to help them. They begin to experiment with independence from their parents and this is the stage were they are most vulnerable to experimentation. The most important factors in an adolescence

journey through puberty is peers, family, and school.

Any disturbance in these three factors can be a heavy

burden on the growing adult. This could lead to

depression, drugs criminal acts, and/or more.

As you grow up you start to experience many new feelings.

Some are good and some are bad: Anger, disappointment,

happiness and jealousy. This usually happens between the

ages of 8 and 18 years, your body starts growing and

changing. These changes occur from head to toe, and are

completely natural as your body responds to increased

hormones. In girls, the main hormone guiding the body's

new instructions is called estrogen. In guys, it's

testosterone. All of these changes together are called

"puberty." Your body and your feelings change a lot.

You also may feel differently about your family, friends

and classmates-and view the things that they do in whole

new ways. You may feel like changing what you do with

them, the way you dress and the things you talk about.

These differences are called social and behavioral

changes.

There is no exact age when everyone experiences

puberty. This differs from person to person. Girls can

expect puberty to hit between the ages of 8 and 17.

Boys can expect puberty between the ages of 10 and 18.

Experience moodiness: For females,

changes in their estrogen levels can cause

mood swings. For males, changes in their

testosterone levels can cause mood swings Are concerned about how their bodies look, how other people look and how they compare to self, and what other people think in general Feel awkward or embarrassed, especially in times of change Feel sexual attraction and arousal very easily

Experience sexual curiosity and attraction in other people (like crushes!) Usually become more emotional and react to situations more intensely than before, Typically try to gain more independence from parents, but if you are not close to your parents some of the best ways to solveteenage problems are your friends. Talk to them about what bothers you. Tell them what you feel. There is a good chance that they are feeling the same or felt like it and already got the answer to your problem. If that does not work talk to your parents that went through all that ones when they were young. In really bad cases and as a last resort go to get some professional help, that will surly help.

Depression- a mental disease caused by many factors Having infinite

causes, no doctor could possibly cure a patient from it. Only specified psychologists dealing with these sorts of diseases are able to take care and

split depression into parts, divisions including cause, symptoms, treatment, and final solution (either by the patient or the psychologist). Harming mood thoughts and behavior, depressive disorder is one of the most common mental diseases in the world.

How do you know if you are having a depression?*Have you had any social problems lately? *Have you been told of your unsolved personality lately?*Parental divorce or other communication problems are a couple of common depression causes*Houses with low resources, little supplies or other poor living conditions are also common causes for depression

Teenage depressive disorder symptoms:* Depressed mood and irritability.*Loss of interest in usual activities*Low energy and restlessness*Poor concentration*Sleeping disorder*Eating disorder*Hopeless and self pitted*Worthless and guilty*Suicidal behavior

Consequences of untreated depression:*Develop of another episode of depression *Child depression may predict more severe depressive disorders*Teenage depression is associated with suicidal thoughts

Stress is the body's normal response to anything that disturbs its natural physical, emotional, or mental balance. Stress reduction refers to various strategies that counteract this response and produce a sense of relaxation and tranquility.

Although stress is a natural phenomenon of living, stress that is not controlled and that continues for a long period of time can seriously compromise health. For this reason, stress must be understood, managed and appropriately reduced. Several very different strategies and therapies are available that help with relaxation and stress management.

The specific and immediate cause of stress is called the stressor. A stressor

can be something dramatic or terrible, such as a violent experience or the

death of a loved one, or it can be a positive and rewarding event, like

marriage or a promotion. The stressor can be internal, such as feelings of

guilt or anger felt in a relationship, or it can be external, such as a natural

disaster or the ordinary rigors and frustrations of commuting. It can also

have a physical source, like simple exercise or hard work, or it can be strictly

mental, like worry. Our bodies react the same way physiologically no matter

what the source and reasons for stress might be.

When stress occurs it begins with stimulation of the brain's hypothalamus,

which sends nerve impulses to both the adrenal and the pituitary glands.

While these automatic physiological responses served early man well and

were essential to survival of the species, today's men and women rarely

must literally fight for their lives or dodge and elude a predator. Yet their

bodies' automatic response to stress has remained unchanged in a

radically changed, modern world.

Although different individuals may have different levels of tolerance to stress,

chronic stress will eventually wear down even the strongest of people.

Prolonged stress can cause biochemical imbalances that weaken the

immune system and invite serious illness. Overall, stress that persists is

known to interfere with digestion and, more seriously, alter brain chemistry,

create hormonal imbalances, increase heart rate, raise blood pressure, and

negatively affect both metabolic and immune function.

It follows that if stress can cause or contribute to illness, then reducing

stress should have the opposite effect and perhaps even encourage healing.

Probably the most important step toward reducing the stress in everyone's

life is to understand the nature of stress and to learn how to condition

ourselves to be able to gain some control over it. Fortunately, stress and the

negative effects it creates can be reduced by a wide variety of therapeutic

approaches. When successfully applied, many of these therapies or

strategies can both reduce stress and reverse its damage.

A list of some of the more common therapies and techniques available for

reducing stress includes:

Bioenergetics. A practice that encourages sudden release of tensions

by crying or kicking.

Breathing for relaxation. Stylized breathing technique to control and lower body functions. Guided imagery. Creating a mental picture of what is desired. Also called Creative imagery or Visualization. Herbal medicine. Uses substances derived from plants as treatment instead of synthetic drugs. Homeopathy. Uses minute doses of plant, animal, and mineral substances to stimulate the body's natural healing. Massage. Use of touch and manipulation to soothe. Can also employ vigorous deep tissue manipulation. Meditation. Deep, relaxed, receptive, and focused concentration on a single object, sound, or word. Tai Chi Chuan. System of slow, continuous exercises based on rhythm and equilibrium. Yoga. System of exercises that combines certain positions with deepbreathing and meditation.

These and many other techniques, systems,

and therapies are available to the person searching

for some way to reduce and manage the stress of

everyday life. Some methods are very simple and can be

easily learned, while others are high-tech and often involve

a practitioner.

There are several Myths about suicide,

read below to learn which one(s) you

were wrong about.

Myth Number One:

Once someone is suicidal, he or she will be

suicidal forever.

YOU ARE WRONG !!!! IT DOESN”T SAY THATYOU ARE STUPID!!!

only for a limited period of time. During this time

they either move beyond it, get help or die.

only for a limited period of time. During this time

they either move beyond it, get help or die.

Myth Number Two:

If someone tried to kill themselves once,

there is a much smaller chance that they

will try again.


Answer: False

As many as 80% of all completed suicides

occurred after previous attempts. This is especially

true for young people.

YOU ARE RIGHT, GOOD JOB !!!

Myth Number Four:

It is a bad idea to ask people if they are

suicidal. Talking about suicide might give

them the idea that they should kill

themselves.

YOU ARE WRONG !!!! YOU NEED TO BE MORE FOCUSED!!!

Answer: False

People might think it's safer not to talk about

suicide with someone considering it. On the

contrary, talking will help them deal with some

of the heavy issues involved and diffuse the

tension. A willingness to listen shows that

people care and are willing to help.

Myth Number Five:

If a depressed or suicidal person feels better it

usually means that the problem has passed.

YOU ARE WRONG AGAIN !!!! YOU ARE GETTING ON MY NERVES !!!

Answer: False

If someone who has been depressed or suicidal

suddenly seems happier, don't assume that the

danger has passed. A person, having decided to

kill themselves, may feel "better" or feel a sense

of relief having made the decision. Also, a

severely depressed person may lack the energy

to put their suicidal thoughts into action. Once

they regain their energies, they may well go ahead

and do it.

suicide attempt, and also find out what you could

do to help.
