4 Troubled Teens Blog

Suicide is the third-leading cause of death among 15- to 24-year-olds. Many who have lost a teenager to suicide say there were signs that, tragically, were overlooked or dismissed. Here are some signs to watch for:

"Impulsive and aggressive behavior, frequent expressions of rage, exposure to another's suicidal behavior... family instability...change in eating pattern... neglect of academic work..."

If these or other signs become apparent in a young person's life, take it seriously, watch them closely, and get them some help. Source: Bucks County Courier Times
