Suicide is
a long-term solution to a short-term dilemma. Not only does the government have
an obligation to address this pandemic, but it also has a duty to parents and
schools.
Not talking about it is thought to be the solution. However,
this is incorrect. Refusing to talk about it doesn't count as being proactive.
Youth needs aren't met.
Why do they favor a decision that will last
forever?
Teenagers' capacity to cope with life's
hurdles and solve issues. In the coming decade, teen suicides, drug addiction,
and alcohol misuse will all climb by 31 percent.
Mental disease is the most significant
interest.
A majority of teenagers who attempt suicide have “Depression” (A
frequent and significant medical condition that has a detrimental impact on a
person's feelings, thoughts, and behavior). “Bipolar illness” is a disorder of
the brain that affects the mood, energy, and capacity to function of the
individual. In mood episodes, people with bipolar illness experience strong
emotional states over days or weeks. or “Borderline personality disorder” (Emotional dysregulation disorder. Therefore, people with BPD
experience powerful emotions over lengthy periods, and it is difficult for
these individuals to regain control of their emotions following a stressful
incident, the primary cause of their attempts. The pain from these diseases is
amplified. They do not try suicide out of a wish to die, but rather to escape a
horrible circumstance or to avoid painful sensations or thoughts.
Unusually, a single event triggers suicide, yet it may happen.
Teenagers go through a challenging time in life in which they are alone and
lonely. Then, what are they supposed to be doing? Then, they turn on their
phones and other electronic devices and surf the web. They want to text and
phone a buddy, and they hope that someone will understand them, so they use the
internet and social media texting. Their phones are the first place people turn
to when they need to locate anything. That lost passion or happiness might be
to blame. When people are feeling lonely, they utilize the Internet as a
diversion from their feelings.
Teenage suicidal conduct is associated with
certain risk factors
Suicidal deaths among boys and men are also more common than among
females. Boys and males are more likely to use fatal methods, such as weapons,
whereas girls and women are more likely to use less lethal means, such as pill
use. Suicide attempts by teens are also at an elevated risk.
Suicidal behavior in teenagers is associated
with several risk factors, including:
1. In the home, there is abuse, neglect,
or trauma.
2. Depression or another type of mental
illness
3. Someone who tried suicide or committed
suicide has a family or social link with them.
4. Nocturnal sleep disorders such as
insomnia
5. Inheritance of mental disorders in
parents
6. Drug and alcohol abuse problems
7. Self-inflicted injury (cutting, for
example)
8. Home or school stress, including
bullying in person or online.
In addition, three seemingly indirect risk factors for teen
suicide have been identified by researchers. The mere presence of these objects
in a home might raise the risk of suicide in adolescents who reside there, as
well as in teens who visit the home frequently, such as friends, neighbors, or
cousins.
1. Prescription drugs, such as painkillers
2. Guns and other deadly agents are
present.
3. Illegal drugs are present.
The adults in your adolescents' homes and the kids should be consulted regarding these goods. Your
children may not be allowed to attend houses where these objects are present if
you are worried.
Despite the abundance of risk factors, there is still hope and the
possibility of saving the lives of teenagers and young people. Compared to
previous generations, today's teenagers benefit from improved knowledge of
suicide and mental health issues, as well as more advanced therapy options.
Youth at risk of suicide: protective factors
Parents and adult mentors can have a beneficial influence on or
reduce the risk of suicide in various ways, according to researchers.
Protective factors might include: a good and supportive network of
friends
Participants' objectives and reasons, such as engagement in art or
athletics, extracurricular activities, or volunteering, or part-time work, are
discussed.
Positive family ties
Connections to religion or the spirit
Success in the classroom
Teenagers who suffer from depression or other mood disorders may
find it difficult to stay active or attend all of their scheduled activities.
Activities are encouraged as part of our therapy approach for teenagers.
