The reason I think teens consider suicide is because when you're a teenager, you find yourself in very emotional stages. Stages of stress, happiness, angriness, and sadness. We go through tons of feelings everyday and find ourselves torn of multiple decisions. The pressures of being a teen have huge affects as well. Being a teen, we are constantly reminded of how we have so much potential and opportunity, and need to make things right because its the "time of our lives" that we can never get back. All of these things combined make us feel this need to please others and please ourselves. Feeling things like this get us overly emotional because we find ourselves hopeless, and lost. With no where to turn, because no matter what there's always something new coming up, something more for us to worry about, someone new for us to think about, or just something in general. This feeling that nothing will ever work itself out and that we always have to constantly think about something and be prepared is a lot on a young mind. The pressure seems so much at times, and it leads to wanting ways out... or in other words; death.
