¹What makes a young person a potential candidate for suicide? ²It's hard to say since suicide is a complex behavioral pattern determined by biological, psychological, social, and environmental influences. ³Our knowledge tends to be limited because of the difficulties associated with studying suicidal behavior. ⁴But there are some things that we do know. ⁵Many teenagers who commit suicide do so following acute experiences of punishment, rejection or humiliation. ⁶Revenge or anger may also play a role. ⁷When young adults commit suicide, the target of their anger is often parents, a romantic partner, or someone else who may have rejected the person contemplating suicide. ⁸Some young people also threaten suicide to manipulate the behavior of those around them. ⁹Others view suicide as a way of atoning for some previous sin.
