 Why most teenagers commit suicide?
Because most teens interviewed after making a suicide attempt say
that they did it because they were trying to escape from a situation
that seemed impossible to deal with or to get relief from really bad
thoughts or feelings. They didn't want to die as much as they wanted to
escape from what was going on. And at that particular moment dying
seemed like the only way out. Some people who end their lives or
attempt suicide might be trying to escape feelings of rejection, hurt, or
loss. Others might feel angry, ashamed, or guilty about something.
Some people may be worried about disappointing friends or family
members. And some may feel unwanted, unloved, victimized, or like
they're a burden to others.
