Teen suicide rates are rising. Many teens are bullied in school, mistreated at home, and some go left alone and completely unnoticed everywhere they go. My uncle committed suicide this August; he was eighteen. He had been having some problems at home and his dad kicked him out. His car broke down and his girlfriend left him. No longer having a way to school, which is all he wanted to do, he asked to move back in with his dad for the duration of the school year. Instead of talking it out or giving him other options, his step mom declined and started to fight with him. That is when he gave up; he took the rope from his dad's house and went down to the lake. Brandon was more influenced by his home life, but some teens do not have a good school environment. Teens commit suicide because of bad social situations, but which social environment is most influential on a teen?
