The sad reality is that youth suicide is a growing epidemic, ending young lives and leaving heartbroken families and communities. It is currently the leading cause of death of 15- to 24-year-olds, and the fourth leading cause of death among 10- to 14-year-olds. Nearly 4,600 kids killed themselves in the United States in 1998, and approximately 46,000 others tried. Most give warnings; some do not." (STATE LEGISLATURES) This article explores several theories regarding the abundance of youth suicides in the United States and examines steps that lawmakers can take to curb this unfortunate epidemic.
