"when a deep injury is done us, we never recover until we forgive." - Alan Paton
Image result for Alan PAton Thank you for the introduction, my name is Katherine and now i will be giving you all  an introduction to our topic Teen Suicide. Our goal today is to inform people our age, teens and adults, about suicide and how it affect our society. We learned that suicide is when a person takes their own life because they felt hopeless or they had no other choice. Also that it is preventable and never an answer. Now Yuliana will be giving some facts on our topic. Thank you for that info Yuliana, now i will continue with statistics. Did you know that 30-70% of suicide victims had an underlying mental disorder, usually depression or bipolar disorder. This shows that there is a correspondence between mental health and suicide. Another thing we learned is that 4/5 people who attempt suicide had given clear warning signs. This tells us that if we inform others on what the warning sign are we may be able to lower suicide rates. And for every 1 suicide there are 25 attempts, once again suicide is becoming more popular and seems as a solution for people. Suicide is now the second leading cause of death in the us, it used to be third, it is becoming more common now that it is now ahead of homicide deaths. Lastly guns account for almost 50% of suicide deaths.  This may give us a clue on how to prevent more suicides if we are more strict about our guns in america. Thank you for your attention and now Giselle will be giving information on how suicide affects the quality of life.
