Brittany Deschamps Mrs. Laurencot Essay 1 The book that I'm reading is called __Suicide__. This book teaches a lot about suicide. I've learned a lot about suicide since I've been reading this book. What it taught me is that suicide is not the way to go. Suicide is over the limit, and that it is not good to do and it also brings you down the wrong road. What causes young teens and maybe older teens is mostly depression. Some people do it because they are having problems at home or other serious problems throughout their life. Suicide is a preventable tragedy. In this book it had many stories of young teens and older teens maybe in the 25 to 35 age limit. Females are usually the ones that do the suicide thought, but some guys and men think of suicide too. What I learned from reading this book is that suicide usually deals with females and sometimes with males. Some people succeed in their suicidal thoughts and some people don’t, and when they don’t they make themselves look stupid. What I also learned was that suicide is mostly in the United States and it always deals with depression and hopelessness and other problems that they can't handle themselves. Sometimes people hurt themselves to make them feel better, and sometimes they do hurt themselves to make them forget about the issues that they are having in that particular time period. Also, when they are thinking of suicidal thoughts they might end up hurting themselves but sometimes it helps them. but they aren’t actually trying to hurt themselves. Most of the time why people try to commit suicide is because other problems that they grew up with, and sometimes it's not their fault on why they want to commit suicide it's because they grew up with some problems with their family or other problems that has something to do with their family. Those are called birth factors. "Sixty percent of teenagers who commit suicide have one or more of the their following in their history: a mother who had no prenatal care for the first five months of her pregnancy, a mother who had a chronic disease during her pregnancy; and incident of respiratiory distress for more than one hour following birth." Some people also try to kill themselves because of relationship problems. "A suicidal person sometimes acts in revenge against parents." Parents and depression to me is the most common effect on suicidal teens. That’s why young teens tend to try and kill themselves or commit suicide. Most teenagers has experienced feelings of sadness and discouragement now and then, and that also leads to suicidal thoughts. Struggling in high school also leads to death in teenagers lives. When people become a senior in high school thats when everything goes down the road. Senior year in high school is the most important year because that’s the year you graduate and some people struggle and then that gets them aggravated and then sometimes they start to go over board and then they start having suicidal thoughts because they don’t want to do it themselves and they don’t have anybody else to help them. Some people get treatment for suicidal thoughts. A lot of young teens go to counceling outside of school like I do but for different reason not suicide and sometimes that helps them stop from doing stupid things. I also learned getting a rubber band and putting it around your wrist and just picking it up and down on your wrist helps prevent young teens from cutting theirselves. Cutting is the most common problem young teens have when they want to kill themselves. It stops them from going over the limit to actually succeeding. Once you start being suicidal you can never stop. It is contagious. Nothing can ever stop you from doing those stupid things and actually making a effort for trying to commit suicide. There is warning signs of commiting suicide. That’s whats ive learned from reading this particular book. What's good about this book is it actually has a lot of details about suicide and it tells me a lot of different stories on how some young teens killed themselves and succeeded and some young teens that didn’t succeed. So that’s pretty much about everything that I had to say about this book.
