Delving into Teen Suicide

    I want to know what social environment influences a teen more and what the main cause of teen suicide might be. To Answer this question I've come up with some other questions that will help me.

  1. Should parents always be blamed for their children committing suicide?
  2. Which environment causes teens to act in a different way than they normally would?
  3. Why do most teens decide that killing themselves is the only way to escape something bad in their lives?
  4. How can we use this information to inform teens of the rates of teen suicide and possibly prevent the rates from raising still?
  5. What if teens no longer felt that they needed to commit suicide and the rates of ten suicide started going down?

These questions can help me delve deeper into the causes of teen suicide and find out what the main cause may be. Maybe one day teens will be educated enough and not feel the need to commit suicide and they will find other ways to solve bad situations in their lives.
