Teen Suicide

       Teen Suicide was about all different causes in wanting to commit suicide and stories from other teens that's drawn the to suicide because of that topic. A few main things that leads to suicide in a teenage life is stress, uncrontrolling sexually activities with people they know, figuring out if they're LGBT, being a victim of continuous bullying, addiction of drugs and alcohol, unsupportive families, and passed on depression. For an example on drugs, some teens think that drugs could help coping and managing stresss and violence. But when it doesn't the side affects of the addiction makes it worse which could cause depression. Also if depression runs in the family then its ok as long as you dont do anything else to increase then the right treatment should help overcome this specific adversity.
       In many of these chapters, it had real life stories on how a teen is begginning or already depressed due to different problems in their life and how they deal with it. On page 24, a girl was dealing with depression and her only way of working in progress to overcome it was e pressing her feelings with art. I think this is a great solution on how to solve your problems because doing something your great in and makes you happy brings more joy to yourself which can cause great healing. Showing how you feel in multiple perspectives can help bring healing from yourself and others around you.
