In Korea, committing suicide turns out to be one of the main factors killing teenagers, and its rate is increasing according to a government survey (Shim). To prevent teenagers’ suicide, measures must be taken(try to avoid passive voice) because the high suicide rate among teenagers promotes the thought that their lives are worthless and motivates imitated suicide. However, some people might argue that to save people killing themselves is not right because it disregards their decisions. Although it is true that deciding to die is one’s right and violate this right is wrong, teenagers’ suicide is not the case. (this sentence is really hard to read and understand.. Try to reword it..) Because teenagers decide to die impulsively due to their instant …show more content…
Try not to use the same word all the freaking time. ). There is an effect called Werther-effect, which indicates the phenomenon that an admired person’s suicide causes imitated, or suicide contagion (Niederkrotenthaler, Herberth, and Sonneck). The term ‘an admired person’ includes a celebrity. In other words, the Wherther-effect means that suicide rate increases after a report of a celebrity’s suicide. This effect seems to be true when analyzing a graph from Korea Association for Suicide Prevention. The graph compares suicide rates before and after celebrities’ suicides in Korea. This graph shows that after celebrities’ suicides and the result of that is (writing like this way can be natural than just put comma)suicide rates increased (Yu and Lee). All celebrities’ suicides described in this graph were broadcast. (start in different way)What makes the matter worse (The worst thing) is that teenagers are more sensitive to celebrities than other age groups because they are in adolescence. Hence, a coverage about a celebrity’s suicide affects teenagers more seriously. Therefore, if celebrities’ suicides are not broadcast (are not... how about “does not” .. if you are gonna use the word “broadcast” as a verb.)and treated seriously by the media, not only a general suicide rate, but also a teenagers’ suicide rate will be …show more content…
Korean students get a lot of academic stress because of intense competition for the Korean Scholastic Aptitude Test (KSAT). The more academic stress a student gets, the more suicidal impulse the student has (Moon 150). In addition, teenagers are emotionally unstable due to a feature of adolescence. Even university students need a suicide (Generally, people think university students can handle their troubles however, even they need a suicide prevention that helps students counseling and consulting.) prevention consultation, and many universities offer counseling services to prevent students’ suicide.

Just talking about one’s condition and troubles can relieve stress, and it can be the best way to dispel suicidal thoughts (“Suicide Prevention”). Counseling classes for preventing suicide are essential for elementary, middle, and high schools, all things
Romeo would rather kill himself than be without his love Juliet. This can promote teen suicide because it is demonstrating that if you can’t have something or someone the next possible solution is to kill yourself. The promotion of suicide amongst teens can be negative to those who have suicidal thought but do not speak out. This can also be seen as negative because those who are exposed to suicide can be more likely to have suicidal thoughts. This can also have a negative impact on teens because by being exposed to this behavior they presume that’s how they should act in a similar situation.

Students who fall into the lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgendered, or questioning identity groups report being five times as more likely to miss school because they feel unsafe after being bullied because of their sexual orientation.

Hamlet is comparable to the way many teens’ families work in their regular everyday life. I honestly think Hamlet is very comparable to teen’s family dynamics. In the book Hamlet is fighting for his farther the whole time. In teens’ whose family has divorced they usually prefer to fight for their real dad over their step dad.
As of 2015, 5 in 100,000 girls and 14 in 100,000 teenagers commit suicide (Lewis). Teenagers are becoming more vulnerable and schools seem to be taking no notice. If these lives could be saved, it would help so many families across the united states. The National Institute of Mental Health states that there “are as many as 25 attempts of suicide to every one that is actually committed” (Eco Child’s Play). Suicides can be prevented by treatment of the illness.
In his article ‘A Right to Self-Termination?’ David Velleman brings up the topic of the right to die and elaborates his view on the subject. Two broad principles are stated by Velleman and he goes on to reject the first principle and accept the second principle. The first principle is that “a person has the right to make his own life shorter in order to make it better… ”the second principle is that there is “a presumption in favor of deferring to a person's judgment on the subject of his own good.
“You’re watching television, you’re watching the news; you’re being pumped full of fear… and it’s just a campaign of fear and consumption. That’s what I think it’s all based on is the whole idea that keep everyone afraid and they’ll consume. And that’s really simple.” (Bowling). Mass murders occur throughout the world and affect every race and gender.
Suicide. The action of killings oneself intentionally. A word synonymous with despair and tragedy, this act may be taken due to several reasons but if focused on a particular demographic, such as college students, the reasons may be clearer. It is widely accepted that causes of suicides are largely (if not completely) mentally related. With high amounts of stress and pressure coupled with ever amounting expectations on still developing minds, it does not seem difficult to correlate why the rates of suicide among college students is steadily increasing.
Suicide has continued to rise as one of the leading causes of death worldwide (Suicide). Each year, no matter what the cause is, 44,193 people in the U.S. are taking their own life. As the number of suicide attempts is continuing to skyrocket, suicide has verified itself as an important health problem (Suicide). Suicide is the third leading cause of death among young people, 7% of high school students are attempting it (State). I, myself have become a percent.
Teens tend to revert to social media, which can damage their self esteem, if used improperly. They have extraordinarily high levels of stress, which can cause them anxiety, one of the biggest mental illnesses in correlation with suicide, including depression, bipolar disorders, and insomnia. If a teen has any of these problems, they are four times more likely to commit suicide. Education and parents can put massive expectations upon them, and if they fail to meet those expectations, they will feel as if they are a failure. It is the third leading cause of death kids age 5-24 and can be preventable if schools and parents were to ask young adults questions about having suicidal thoughts and education on where to go to receive help.
During the years of university, students are overloaded with assignments, projects, presentations, quizzes and exams. These works and exams can create a lot of stress and pressures for university students who are expected to perform excellently in classes. Suicide is the tragic result students choose after facing these incidents. According to Emory Cares 4 U, “Suicide is the second-leading cause of death among people aged 25 to 34 and the third-leading cause of death among people aged 15 to 24” (Emory University, 2016). The causes of suicide in university students are academic and social pressure, inadequate coping skills with university works and feeling of failure or decreased performance.
An emphasis is placed on the importance of identifying warning signs and risk factors for depression and suicide amongst teens. According to the research conducted by King and Vidourek (2012) early detection and suicidal warning signs is seen to be crucial for effective intervention. Teenagers need to be encouraged to be more proactive when it comes to their personal mental health. Positive coping mechanisms such as problem-solving skills, effective communication skills, and good conflict resolution skills are all essential in lessening the likelihood that a teen exhibiting depressive behaviors will go forth and take their own life. As most teenagers spend most of their time in school, better prevention and intervention programs need to be in place.
