Teen Suicide

A 16 Year old girl overdosed on 46 pills and slit her wrist in the bathroom of a Centerpoint hotel and died. She was found lying half concious on the floor sorounded by a pool of blood. She was found by a 17 year old girl.

Why did she do it? Was it because she was violently, sexualy and physcologicaly abuses as a child? Was is because her parents refused to except her sexuality and threw her out of her home and refused any means of contact with her? Or was it her becaue of her job as a prostatute, that she hated and was forced to do?















Suicide amongst teens has increase 3 time since 1970.
90% of suicide amongst teenagers had a diagnosable mental illness, depression being the most common.
In 1996 suicide was the 4th biggest killer of 10 to 14 year olds, and the 3rd biggest killer of 15 to 24 year olds.

I think that people usually kill themselves to escape from something the think they can't handle or excape from, not necesarily because they want to die.
