Almost 1 in 4 teenagers considers suicide. It is uncommon for younger children to attempt suicide unless they are victims of abuse.

It is extremely important that you take all threats of suicide seriously and seek immediate treatment for your adolescent or child. If you are an adolescent or child and have these feelings, talk with your parent, an adult friend, or your doctor right away to get some help.

Some common warning signs for suicide include:

Making suicidal statements.
Preoccupation with death in conversation, writing, or drawing.
Giving away belongings.
Withdrawal from friends and family.
Possession or purchase of a weapon, pills, or other means of inflicting self-harm.
Aggressive or hostile behavior.
Other warning signs can include:

Problems at school, such as falling grades, disruptive behavior, or frequent absences.
Drug or alcohol use problems.
Running away from home.
Risk-taking behavior, such as reckless driving or being sexually promiscuous.
Neglect of personal appearance.
A change in personality (such as from upbeat to quiet).
Certain situations may trigger a teen or child with depression to think about suicide. These include:

A friend, peer, family member, or hero (such as a sports figure or musician) recently attempted or committed suicide.
Unrealistic, high expectations to perform from a parent.
Having depression or another mental health condition, such as bipolar disorder (manic-depressive illness) or schizophrenia.
Having a parent with depression or substance abuse problems.
Loss of a parent or close family member through death or divorce.
Disruptive or abusive family life.
Uncertainty surrounding sexual orientation (such as bisexuality or homosexuality).
History of sexual abuse.
Signs of depression, which can lead to suicidal behavior, include:

Loss of interest in activities that were once enjoyed.
Changes in eating and sleeping habits.
Difficulty thinking and concentrating.
Complaints of continued boredom.
Complaints of headaches, stomachaches, or fatigue with no actual physical problems.

mga papansin lang yang mga kids na yan

..... do you even know how it feels to have those thoughts linger in your head???

...or do you know how it feels like a hopeless case...
like nobody likes you, you will die alone..
frustrated, depressed, pressured and stressed?

@gothIc_chIck_503
were you like that before?

@empireboy
i wouldnt really think so... ung iba tlga nagpapakamatay kasi masyado silang problemado kaya un. well its your opinion, so i respect that. :)

baka naman masyadong dinidibdib ang problema kaya napupunta sa ganun. e hindi lang naman sila ang dumaranas ng problema, marami pang mas malala ang mga problema kaysa sa kanila.. saka hindi pa siguro nila niintindihan ang tunay na halaga ng buhay dahil wla silang goal..

you have a point there. well, we really dont know whats going on with them until we experience it first hand.

ganyan din ako nung bata ako,

so you think na papansin ka lang nun? haha. joke lang!

oo papansin lang ako nun nung mga panahong ginusto kong magpakamatay

haha. aww... didnt get that much love from mommy and daddy? come here, let me give you a hug. haha

Now here's a definite sign.
