What reason does a 17 year old have to take their own life? They haven’t even found out what life is yet.
I was suicidal at a young age. I didn’t act, as I knew the impact it would have on my family. Maybe that’s the difference between girls & boys. You really don’t feel that there’s a possibility that things will be better.
Thousands of teens commit suicide every year in the US.
In this case, I'm guessing Internet/social media bullying.
What reason?
Was this kid abused in his home by family? Let me tell you...that’ll do it.
Abuse by the hands of my mother sure messed up my childhood.
Only by the Grace of God am I still alive.
The sad truth is that the teen aged brain can leave one in a dark whole that is overwhelmingly driven by depression. Unfortunately, the teen aged brain is impulsive and impatient so a long term solution (suicide) for a short term problem (deep emotional pain) becomes attractive.
It is a tragedy
