~INTRODUCTION~
In the United States, suicide is the second-leading cause of death for teenagers
between the ages of 10 and 19; rate increased by 33% between 1999 and 2014. 1,2
Across all age groups, male suicide rates in the United States have historically been
greater than female suicide rates. 3,4 But according to 2 recent reports from the
Centers for Disease Control and Prevention5,6, the suicide rate increase among
young women is larger than it is among young men
•Literature review•
• In the United States (U.S.) and around the world, suicide is a tragic,
expensive, age-old public health problem that affects people of all
racial, ethnic, age, gender, and sexual orientation.
• Suicide has continuously been identified as the third most common
cause of death for Americans between the ages of 15 and 24 . LGBTQ
teenagers who commit suicide and engage in identity
activities are more likely to suffer from mental issues such as peer
rejection, discrimination, rejection from their families, and academic
failure.
This article's goals are to present current suicide statistics broken down by
demographics, talk about risk and protective factors for suicide, and
review prevention methods and intervention organizations.
•Research methodology•
• By searching for "youths" and "suicide" on Google
and numerous online research material sites like
Geeksforgeeks and ResearchGate, we mostly relied
on secondary data, or studies on the suicide of
youths and their mental health.
• Additionally, we have made an effort to compile as
many articles, newspaper editorials, and reports
from national and international organisations that
address these topics.
•Conclusion•
• (1) Continue developing the conceptualization and
operationalization of suicidal thoughts and behaviours.
• (2) Improve etiological understanding by focusing on individual
(preferably malleable) mechanisms.
• (3) Improve etiological understanding also by integrating findings
across multiple units of analyses and developing short-term
prediction models.
• (4) Demonstrate greater overall developmental sensitivity.
• (5) Account for divergent developmental processes. These
represent the first stages in developing the scientific method,
expanding the body of knowledge, and ultimately preventing
young people from having suicidal thoughts and behaviours.
