Statistics show that adolescent suicide has reached epidemic
proportions. Suicide ranks as the third leading cause of death for
teens and young adults between the ages of 15 to 24 years. The
purpose of this qualitative study was to better understand the
thought processes of teens who attempted suicide. Eleven teens
between the ages of 14 and 17 who attempted suicide and were
subsequently admitted to a youth psychiatric unit were interviewed.
Open-ended questions were asked to explore the thought process of
the teens at the time of the attempt and to identify risk factors
which may have contributed to the attempt. The questions were also
meant to identify strengths, such as successes, coping skills, and
social support resources available to the teens. The importance of
family was evident in the responses given by the teens. What
mattered to them was knowing they were loved and valued. Some
specific events or emotions were identified that triggered the
suicide attempt. Just as notably, there was a significant point
which shifted the thoughts from death to life, from hopelessness to
hope.
