    The CDC website gives a map of the United States and shows the rates of teen pregnancy for each state. This could be used to show the lack of sex education in certain states and how it affects teen preganancy rates over time. As technology and social media advanced, teen pregnancy rates went down

    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.
  • cathurrin on 30 Jan 17
     
    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.

    Yet another similar post. I think looking at it psychologically has helped with looking into why people feel the need to bully others. It is a big social justice issue that I unfortunately feel will never end.

    Sex education tells the bare minimum and it's normally directed towards the males. I believe that our sex education system should be more about how to be safe, how to protect yourself and others, and it should be more inclusive.

    Sex-Ed could be so much better in many parts of the U.S. The fact that states that teach abstinence only have higher rates of unwanted pregnancy shows that the lack of sexual education is detrimental.
  • jaredjimenez09 on 01 Feb 21
     
    I agree with the lack of sexual education in U.S schools. There definitely needs a push to educate the younger generations on how to take care of themselves and prevent problems for them later on.
  • edv2140870 on 01 Feb 21
     
    I took Sex-Ed in high school and it definitely taught me a lot about things I was clueless about but some of the information was very contradicting like stay abstinent but be safe if you do.
  • cel2141812 on 01 Feb 21
     
    I think that Sex-Ed should be available to all students since so many teens just don't know how their bodies work. I've never even had the option to take Sex-Ed, but I think I know enough about it.
  • quintin2133597 on 01 Feb 21
     
    I agree with this article and how students should be allowed to take Sex-Ed in order to be informed of their own bodies. It should also be just as important as keeping the opposite sex safe as well.
  • lauren_ciadella on 02 Feb 21
     
    I couldn't agree more with the notion that our country's sex education is failing the youth of America. It has gotten better over the years due to the education through the internet. But in many southern states, there is still a huge impact on teen pregnancies.
  • eli2207490 on 02 Feb 21
     
    It's really heartbreaking to me how true this is. I was disgusted but also grateful for my sexual education in school. It was graphic and hard to swallow, but important. I hope that we can be less immature as a society about this and rise up to protect and inform our youth.

    Here are some pros and cons of our current technology that we use on a daily basis. There also are some solutions or ideas on ways to get the benefits from technology without the negative side effects. The information covers the effect on our adolescence more than our adults.
  • arielyokley on 11 Sep 16
     
    This is a topic that has always interested me as electronic devices have become like a second heart to so many teens- they feel that they can't live without it. I think the biggest negative side effect would be the access the devices give them to things that can harm their self esteem. For example, I've seen teen girls scroll through their Instagram feed, saying how they wish they looked like this girl, or her life looks so great, which can harm their feelings of self worth if they are constantly doing this.

    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.
  • Chelsea Faulkner on 04 Sep 16
     
    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.
  • jes2173947 on 05 Sep 16
     
    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.

    Restorative Justice is fine when you have a student who is willing to put forth the change and in turn is a positive role-model for their peers. Sometimes, it's just a pat on the back and the student is left to deal with the challenges of being in a school where bullying is tolerated by their peers. Sometimes these pre-teens and teens have some serious mental issues that need to be addressed outside of school. It infuriates me that the innocent, kind and quiet kids, become targets for these kids. Bullying is a power play by some very manipulative children. I vote for serious consequences on bullies. Kick them out of school period! 1st offence, your counseled, 2nd offence there is the door!
