A Broken Life

I'm writing a paper that is pased on the well known saying "Sticks and Stones may break my bones but words will never hurt me" and I was doing a small section on the main leading cause to teen suicsuicide. What do you think is the leading reason?

Clinical depression

    severe depression is the number one cause. the question then becomes: what is causing the depression? kids today have way more responsibility then they did years ago, bullying does not stop when you go home, i continues, and in addition you can be bullied by annonymous ppl who you do not know., and copycat killings, like when kurt cobain killed himself, severly depressed teenagers were pushed over the edge and killed themselves. these are three hypotheses about what causes the depression to lead to suicide. the truth is however that we have no idea why there is so much teen suicide, much like we dont why autism is on the rise as well

    Depression. Probably because their boyfriends/girlfriends broke up with them, peer pressure, drugs, and neglecting parents.

    most who commit suicide, have issues with value. sometimes they dont get enough or any i love you's or hugs etc.. this causes them to feel insufficient and think that they are more of a burden than a joy. so out of kindness, they rid the world of another burden A.K.A.- suicide
    i did a similar paper and got a 98% on it
    Hope this helps!

    Basically it is extreme depression. You feel completely alone and in the dark. You feel like nobody could ever love you and the pain is unbearable. There's nothing you can do to stop hating yourself and you just want to die. You have nobody, no purpose and no hope. Imagining death is imagining relief from suffering, the end of a pitiful existence.

    Causes : isolation(self imposed or otherwise) , neglect, abuse…

    The list goes on.

    I agree with the neglect mainly at home. Children need guidance and love. if it is not there they may resort to other things. It could be sleeping around for the love. It may be drugs for the escape from reality. It may be suicide for all of this piling up and the teen not knowing how to get out or overcome the stress. They need to be told how much they mean to someone everyday. They also need to BELIEVE they are worth something and if no one around them see's that now then someone will in the future and they need to keep living day in and day out. Don't stop trying, find the right path and keep on that road forever.

    the highest rate of suicide is among teenagers and the highest rate of teenagers that commit suicide are LGBT (lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgendered) teens; therefore, the backlash and societal pressure to be "noramal" is what pushes these teens to killing themselves.

    Feeling unloved

    Even when teens go through a lot if they feel that they don't have anybody who loves or cares for them and who can help them in times of trouble they have more tendency to commit suicide.
