Normal reactions to pain of loss, rejection, or disappointment and some which are more extreme reactions that can lead them in minor hopelessness, is teen suicide. When a teen commits suicide, everyone is affected.

Can you single out just one day from your past that you can honestly say changed your life forever? I know I can. It was a typical January day, with one exception; it was the day the Pope came to St. Louis. My brother and I had tickets to the youth rally, and we were both very excited. It was destined to be an awesome day- or so we thought. The glory and euphoria of the Papal visit quickly faded into a time of incredible pain and sorrow, a time from which I am still emerging.

I currently live in a big household with my father, mother, roommate, and seven siblings. This household gains low-income and is hard to deal through the struggles. There are several issues that were hard to manage such as not being able to afford personal items for me and my siblings. We were not economically sufficient since we had utilities bills and medical bills to pay. All the medical bills includes the surgery for my sister that was born with a cleft plate, surgery for my mother tumor that had to be removed, and my dad therapy for his back pain since he works extremely hard in construction and always comes home in aching pain. Also, all my siblings have asthma and are constantly in the emergency room do to sudden asthma attacks. We have to pay for the asthma treatment for everyone of them.
I recently saw a young 18-year-old female in my clinic who was seeking pain medications for abdominal pain. Her urine pregnancy test was positive. The moment I informed her of the results, she broke down into tears. She confessed to being addicted to opiate pain medications. She was suffering from severe withdrawal symptoms and felt helpless. She said that her father abandoned their family when she was 9 and her mother recently died from a drug overdose. She did not have a job, nor had any close friends. I fought tears in my eyes as she was talking about how her former boyfriend gradually forced her into addiction. Her boyfriend recently left her after her doctor stopped prescribing pain pills.
Modern philosophy stipulates that the will to preserve one’s life as long as possible is a fundamental aspect of basic logic and reason. The will to survive as long as possible is described as an innate and natural instinct of being human. Based on this philosophical reasoning, it is inherently illogical and irrational to willingly put an end to one’s life. Sociologists, psychologists and psychiatrists have also condemned suicide by stating that it is associated with mental, social and physical ill-being and that those who commit suicide are not in a rational state of mind. These scientific and philosophical approaches to suicide have contributed to formally documenting suicide as a wrong, irrational and immoral act. The problem is that these approaches see suicide in a generalized manner and do not take into account sub-types and different kinds of suicide such as euthanasia for example, which is physician-assisted and intentional suicide in the case of a terminally ill patient with no possibility of recovering from his or her medical condition.

My father was in the United States Army. He was stationed in Germany during the Cold War and when he returned home he starting having problems. He was diagnosed with paranoid schizophrenia in 1992 his condition was manageable all the way up until 2008. All of sudden he did not trust anyone; he would not let anyone in his house, and he started buying plane tickets and flying to random places and staying in hotels and not letting anyone know where he was. This continued for about three years, finally in the spring of 2011 he reached out to my grandmother and said that he would like to talk to me. When we spoke he told me that he was lonely and wanted to know if I would be willing to come and stay with him for a while. I am single with no children and at the time I was unemployed.
I loved her you know. I loved her, before, before she changed. Before everything went wrong. Before she killed herself. I’m pretty sure it was my fault too. If only I had been brave enough, like she was, but I guess that’s why people humiliated her. I guess that’s why she died; because I was a coward. I wish I hadn’t of been, she wouldn’t be in a grave if I had just had the courage. I loved her too. She didn’t know it, but I tried to hint at it. I guess she thought I was leading her on or something. I tried to tell her but every time I did attempt to, she would look up at me with those big brown eyes and I would melt and nothing would come out.
Suicide, it's not pretty. For those of you who don't know what it is, it's the
Many live due to the fear of death, many die due to the fear of living. Suicide is the act of ending one’s own life as a result of emotional and spiritual problems. Suicide, to some, is seen as a permanent escape. The Church itself argues against suicide. Life is borrowed and is not for one to just give away, God is the only one who can judge life. Suicide should not be committed because it infringes our relationship with others and ultimately God. Suicide is a selfish act all on its own.
Often times when I heard the word "suicidal" I was curiously caused the person to do it. Growing up, I heard that people decided to commit suicide was because they "wanted attention, they wanted the easy way out, they were weak, they couldn't handle life, etc." Personally, I have significant people in my life that have felt like they wanted to commit suicide. So, this topic honestly is a difficult, yet, emotional one to discuss.
