Suicide

Overall teenage suicide rates in the 1990's were higher than those in the 1980's for all races. It is important to watch teens for signs of stress, depression and suicidal ideation (see suicidal behavior). Changes in social structure in the United States have led to increased stress, expectations, and failure on the part of the adolescent. Two-way communication between the troubled adolescent and parents or persons of trust is extremely important in preventing adolescent suicide.
