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 (Disorder of the brain that affects mood, energy, and capacity to
function of the individual. In mood episodes, people with bipolar illness
experience strong emotional states over a period of 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, as well as
the kids themselves, should be consulted regarding these goods' availability.
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.
