Be the change in their lives
Once you know that a young teen is suicidal and the reason why they are suicidal, you should start making changes in their lives. To parents who force their kids to reach unrealistic expectations, who value their own opinion over their kids', who pay no attention to their kids, who are the reasons why their children feel empty and want to die, change yourselves. Simple things can impact a whole lot. Perhaps, instead of asking you kids how were their tests, start asking them how was their day. They would feel like their days and feelings are more significant than on a number that a teacher gives them. Pressure of striving for something is one of the biggest factors that lead to depression, thus, if it is eliminated, less teens would take away their lives to run away from the reality. Another big reason for teen suicide is bullying at school, in public place, or on the internet. As a friend or a parent, you can comfort the teen who is bullied and encourage them to stand up for themselves or even better, you can stand up for them. A bigger change is that you can also inspire others to create a campaign of anti-bullying so teens that are bullied and are suicidal because of bullying can feel safe and protected in a positive environment. By making these changes, one can greatly impact the lives of many as well decreasing the rates of teen suicide.
