Teen Suicide and Suicide Ideation is serious. At risk teens feel so desperate.
Most do not actually complete suicide, however certainly have very strong thoughts and feelings about it. Suicide Ideation needs to be addressed immediately. There can be so many factors leading up to this. School peers (teen peer pressure) can be brutal without even knowing it. A teen can feel alienated from their family and friends when they are suffering from depression and low self esteem. Many times their pain is masked and it is hard to determine what a teen is thinking or feeling.
A person can say something innocent and the teen takes it completely out of context. The feeling of rejection, either by a boyfriend/girlfriend or their own peers can be devastating to a teen. The teen most likely, lacks the self- esteem and confidence to realize they are special and important. When this happens the teen can experience feelings of depression and can lead to harmful thoughts.
