Teens and Suicide

My topic of marginalization deals with the problem of suicide around the world, but focusing more on teen suicide prevention. Suicide can be brought about by many things such as; depression, loss of a friend or family member, a break up, failing a class or feeling alone. Teens are often a large bulk of the statistics of suicides every year. Sometimes the depression that causes the suicide is considered to come from the music they listen to and fads associated with specific types of music. These teenagers may not find help because of marginalization. People may see them as delinquents and may not even consider that these teens are a danger to themselves. This lack of help and care can create even more depression. Teenagers may feel alone in their fight to keep living.

My project will consist of an organization aimed towards helping those who are considering suicide or have been affected by suicide. The organization will also educate the public about suicide prevention. It will focus more on teenagers, but also provide help for everyone. The organization will work together with recording artists and celebrities to better catch the attention and support of teens. The organization will strive to decrease the suicide rate in the United States and around the world.
