Suicide is one of the leading causes of death among youth aged 15-24. Approximately 14 young people in this age group die by suicide every day. Firearms are the most common method of suicide regardless of gender or race. Over 90% of people who die by suicide had an underlying mental health condition such as depression. Warning signs of suicide in youth include talking about wanting to die, withdrawing from friends and activities, mood swings, impulsiveness and risk-taking behaviors. Parents and educators should take any suicidal thoughts or plans seriously, seek professional help, and remove access to lethal means to keep the youth safe.
