    I find it very sad that suicide is the third-leading cause of death for teens and young adults. This article is very clear on what signs to watch for, how to address the person if you do see signs and how to get them help. I feel that after reading this article I will feel more comfortable speaking up in a situation if needed. I hope you guys read this and share it with friends and family.

    D'Arcy Lyness, PhD is the editing body of this article. These are the types of sources you want to use in a paper surely! http://kidshealth.org/media/khexperts/lyness.html This is a link to her accomplishments in field. I believe she is very qualified and this article is highly reputable. However I would like to see some statistics that support some of the claims in the article. I spent about 10 minutes reviewing the information in this article and have found some conflicting information(s). https://www.cdc.gov/violenceprevention/pdf/suicide-datasheet-a.pdf Above is a snap-sheet posted by the CDC summarizing suicide in 2015. The article I am responding to is dated August 15th. In both places the leading cause factor is different. The CDC claims that in ages 15-34 that suicide is the second largest contributing factor to teenage death. The internet is sleezy. I don't know what to believe anymore.

    This is a great article that goes into depth about what causes suicide, what to look out for, etc. Some parents are kind of in the dark about this type of stuff, so it's awesome that such a source exists for parents before it is too late. It makes me sad that it is the third-leading cause of death. A permanent solution to a temporary problem..

    I agree 101% how terrible it is that this is the third leading cause of death. Life should not be about spending your time planning on how it will end. I am now happy though that I have the right tools to know how to deal with this type of social justice.

    Illustrates some facts regarding the 'school to prison pipeline' metaphor. More schools are adopting policies that make students interact with police more and more. This then causes students to be more likely to go to prison.

    I don't think that interacting with police is what causes students to be more likely to go to prison. If the police are in the schools and positively interacting with students, I feel that the students are made to be more aware of their decisions. However, if it is one of the schools in a very poor community that has a high crime rate and a lot of drugs, then those kids are prison bound no matter if they interact with police or not. I am not saying all those kids are bad, but the bad eggs are heading that way regardless.

    This article compares what Americans spend on health care to other high-income nations such as Australia, Canada, France, Germany, the Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, Sweden, Switzerland, and the United Kingdom. Compared to these countries, Americans spend nearly twice as much on health care. The article goes over the causes of this such as obesity and expensive technology as well as affects such as higher rate of death from preventable causes and less doctor visits than average.

    Homelessness is a problem places all over the world face and continue to face as it grows almost every year. There is no single root cause to homelessness, just multiple factors that can lead to one becoming homeless. The article discusses different causes as well as people who would be affected by it.

    Homelessness is sadly a big issue across the world and it's a shame that it has so many causes that affect everyone affected differently. For some, it can even come down to bad luck and that is just crazy to think about.

    There is no evidence scientifically that tax will solve obesity. solution is not education alone. No evidence that soda is the cause, sales of soda are down but sugar drinks are still high Calories are not the issue. soda adds too much sugar and has no nutritional value. Beverage industry needs to be part of solution

Airone Jones Sanders, a 9th grader at Southeast Raleigh High School, compares her middle school years to being in jail.

    Many nonbinary and genderqueer identities face a difficult time when attempting to transition. While transgender health care framework is available for dealing with such instances, many health professionals simply are not aware or educated on the subject to accommodate to the needs of nonbinary or genderqueer people. The lack of awareness on the subject thus can cause complications or obstacles for people as people can be denied access to these services if the health professional believes that the person is not transgender.

    The rising suicide rates across the globe are disturbing. Over the past 45 years, the suicide rates have risen by 60%, they have nearly doubled, and are getting worse every year. As of 2016, a person commits suicide every 40 seconds, and the CDC believes that that number will rise to one every 20 seconds by 2020, a disturbing figure. The phenomenon has had little explanation as to cause, however i believe it is the fall in the number of people of faith, or religion. Over the past 50 years, more and more people have lost faith, and crime rates, and suicide rates have skyrocketed. But that is just a theory.

    The is becoming more and more of issue as the years pass. I see it with friends, co-workers, and have even dealt with it in close family. Often times it's the ones we don't even notice that actually do it, and the ones that say they're going to are the ones crying out for help. Always be aware of the people around you, and always offer help when you see someone needs it.

    It's sad to read about the growing rate of suicide and difficult to know why. Many people feel lost and insecure in this world and there can be many factors involved when someone decides to take their life away. There is also much debate about physician assisted suicide and whether or not it should be legal or how the process should be carried out.

    The statistic that 90% of suicide cases are related to a mental health disorder stands out to me. Maybe this is a field to look into?
  • casbautista on 04 Sep 16
     
    This is definitely interesting. Suicide can be quite complex. However, something to keep in mind is the manner in which suicide is reported. I know from my field of work that some families can choose not to report a family member's death as suicide. This is something important to note when looking at statistics.
  • bri2104912 on 05 Sep 16
     
    We all are aware and know how scary suicide can be but it is heartbreaking to know that every year the growing rate is rising. We see on the news and on social media that teens are committing suicide but we need to realize that it is not just teens, its all people. The best thing we can do for those who have thought of committing suicide is to be there and listen to them when help is needed.

    It's sad to hear about how often suicide happens. I wasn't aware of how bad it actually was. There are many different reasons people decide to take their life away. All we can really do is to try to be there for anyone who needs help and show people that you care. Sometimes it can be from the people we least expect.
