The highest
rates of suicide in the United States are among teenagers
and the elderly. Many of the warning signs are the same,
and some are unique.
Before a person
- youth or adult - decides to take their own life, they
think about it. Usually for long periods of time. Suicide
is their choice to "do something" to bring an end to their
unbearable anguish.
The best way
to save a person's life is to look upon any suicidal act
as that the person is in deadly trouble and then to put
that knowledge into the stream of communication with the
troubled person, other loved ones, friends, and professionals.
