Teen Suicide is a complex situation mostly of deep depression where a Teen develops feelings that they are un-wanted, misunderstood, angry, ashamed, abused, unloved, or victimized.  Other Teens that commit suicide may be feeling guilty about disappointing family, friends or they feel an overwhelming sense that they are too much of a burden on others.  Deep Depression can affect Teens where they believe that suicide is the only solution.  If a Teen commits suicide, everyone is affected.  Sometimes even those who barely know the Teen develop feelings of guilt, confusion and the sense they could have done something themselves to prevent the suicide.
