This is a power point slideshow i made for my school presentation. People say "You Only Live Once", so why would the teenagers want to kill themselves? Well, let's find out from this presentation and see what can we do to prevent this or control this.

2. Suicide is the act of intentionally causing
one's own death.
The most commonly used method of
suicide varies by country and is partly related to
availability.
There are an estimated 10 to 20
million non-fatal attempted suicides every year.
Suicide resulted in 842,000 deaths in 2013
up from 712,000 deaths in 1990.

WANT TO KILL
THEMSELVES?

4. BULLYING
 Bullying in school
 Pranks to name calling
 Bullied teens feels worthless
 Cannot confess to anyone
 End up taking their own lives

5. DIVORCE
 Divorced single parents blames the
young ones.
 Teens believe to be the reason for their
parents to divorce
 Assumption of their parents being happy
without them around

6. DRUG ABUSE
 Bad company and peer pressure
 Small experiment turns into addiction
 Illegal activities for their fulfillment
 Alcohols and drugs are slow poisons

7. EMOTIONAL NEGLECT
 Parents way too busy for spending time
with their kids
 This makes them feel alone and
forgotten
 They feel like their existence makes no
real difference at all
 This neglect has a worse effect on
teenagers

8. DOMESTIC ABUSE
 Physically and mentally abused by one
or members of their family
 The abusers blame the teens for whatever
may be wrong
 Some survive to have healthy adult lives
 Some go on to experience more violence
 Others decide to end their lives there and
then

9. SEXUAL ABUSE
 Many teens grow up with being sexually
abused
 This affects both physically and mentally
for long period of time
 The abused victims also becomes the
community's outcast
 This leads to frustration and giving up
their life

10. STRESS
 Pressure at school to get good grades
 This pressure is increased by parents and
families
 Maintaining this is not always easy
 When the pressure gets too much many
teens decide to take the pressure off once
and for all.

11. CYBER-BULLYING
 Teenagers spend most of their time on
internet
 A lot of teens gets mocked for liking or
disliking something

others says

anymore and eventually give up
