Focus Adolescent Service

Title: This Article was about the statistics of teen suicide and the prevention of it.

Summary:
How you can tell if your kid is starting to have thoughts about suicide is, If his personality has changed over the few weeks and he has seemed depressed, dramatic mood swings. Then I would watch out for thoughts of suicide. If parents have firearms in their household with a teenage kid, that how most teenagers try to commit suicide. There was just a kid that just committed suicide the other day and he hung himself at school, he was only 9 years old. This is really sad.

Reflection: This article shocked me because a 9 year old kid died of committing suicide we need to start raising awareness of teenage suicide, it is not cool that kids die because of other people who bully or are rejected by their friends.

Questions: Why do kids decide to put their lives at stake?
