Why do some teenagers commit suicide?
Nobody knows for sure, since the teens who commit suicide take the answers with them. But, mostly teens commit suicide due to either mental disorders (e.g. Depression, which is often undiagnosed) Some people who end their lives or attempt suicide try to escape feelings of rejection or feel like they cannot deal with a particular situation, feelings of loss and being hurt. Others might commit suicide because of anger, shame, or guilt about something. Some people commit suicide because they are worried about disappointing friends or family members. And some feel unwanted, unloved, victimized, or like they're a burden to others.
According to the reference from a site (http://menshealth.about.com/od/teenhealth/a/teen_suicide.htm) it's been observed that suicide is the third leading cause of death in young people aged 15-25. Furthermore, it also states that more women attempt to suicide men are more likely to succeed. In fact for every 4 male suicides there is 1 female suicide.
