More info on Suicide
Hey everyone its me again. This is more information on my You & The world project. If you don´t remember my last blog post you can read it here on slate. Previously, in my first blog post I talked about the rates of suicides in different countries. Furthermore the disorders people may have that cause them to commit suicide. Disorders are bipolar, mental health, depression, and etc.
Next,to further my research I interviewed my guidance counselor Ms. Siswick. Ms. Siswick gave me very good information on my topic. A question I asked her was ´´What are the symptoms of a kid who may be thinking about suicide?´´. Her response was drug use/alcohol increased, depression, change in behavior, domestic violence, and Violence overall. We also discussed different techniques on how to talk someone out of suicide completely. The different techniques are therapy, trusted friends, confiding in someone. For more information you can listen to the interview here.
Furthermore, a person can be suicidal. This means they are likely to commit suicide and deeply unhappy. Women attempt to suicide more than men. A suicide death occurs for every 4 suicide attempts. Warning signs of anadult are: divorce, job loss, and substance use. People commit suicide because they think that´s a solution to end their pain.
There are several reasons a person can commit suicide. One reason is due to family issues. Another reason is wanting to end the pain they are feeling. They may think they are better off dead than alive. Also because they don´t want help. Anyone who thinks of committing suicide does not really want to die. As a matter of fact they are scared to die. Usually people kill themselves with a gun. That´s the quickest way for them and probably makes it easier.
Moving along, is the next transition of my You & The World Project. The next part is called an agent of change. For this part I would like to raise awareness on my topic. People need to know how serious suicide really is. My plan to raise awareness in our community is simple and easy. The plan is to create a presentation and show my advisory. After I present my presentation I will upload it to social media and spread the word. I will my ask my advisory to spread the word as well.
Raising awareness in our world is very important to me. People should be more aware of suicide. Suicides can be prevented if more people are aware of issue. Their will be more help provided to people that need it. More people will stop thinking suicide. They would know that they have people to lean on. Hopefully there will be more positivity in our world than negativity. I have faith that people will use the resources they have at hand.
