Teenage Suicide


Image result for suicide banner


 The 10th leading cause of death in the United States has been climbing for years. For every age group, every race, every gender, deaths have been rising substantially. According to the CDC, in 1950, only 4.5% of the 15-24 age group in the United States died because of this cause. Fast forward to 2010, 10.5% of that age group died because of this cause. Suicide rates are climbing, but for what reason? Join me as I interview professionals in the field of mental health, adults, and my own peers as we dig deeply into why teenage suicide specifically has been rising over the years.

Hi, my name is Brianna Ketter. This topic is really important to me as I myself deal with depression and anxiety and all that fun stuff. It's really hard to go through all of this alone. I've been super fortunate to have an amazingly supportive family and friends, but not everyone has it that way. I wanted to create this podcast as a way to inform the public on suicide. Hopefully this podcast can open some eyes and show people that a simple "I'm here for you" can save someone's life.

    The background information is really eye opening. I knew that this was a big thing that was affecting a lot of people but I didn't know that it was this bad.

Isaac's Podcast- School Causes Stress on Teens (Ep.1)

School causes stress on teens Podcast Pitch And welcome back to Isaac's podcast, so stress and school. Man those two things match so perfectly. Stress brings such worry, such anxiety. Many kids struggle and try to cope with it but they always seem to fail because they always aim for perfection yet don't succeed at that. They struggle their whole life because they were so focussed on getting that A in high school. They were so focussed on getting the work done, instead on focusing on what life really matters. The school system it just, things are due, there are due dates in school and kids try to meet those standards but they have sports, they have families, they want to have fun, they don't want to spend their young years worrying, but they end up worrying, and stressing, and thats the sad truth. ⇩Link Below⇩ https://drive.google.com/open?id=1Q9CfDFBpJ8pcEEAu9FKOS_kCLiuYhyB5  Sources cited:  http://web.b.ebscohos...

WHAT THE TRUMP?! The Teenage Thoughts on the Donald Trump Presidency

Image
Teenagers and Trump The most controversial man in America happens to be our president.  Donald J. Trump, the United States' 45th president, split America into  two halves. While many people (about half the United States) agreed  with him and his proposed political agenda, he still managed to draw lots of  controversies.   Is Donald Trump doing anything wrong? Are the American people being over-dramatic towards his presidency? Maybe it isn’t that Trump is doing a bad job, but that the American people are still caught up in that he managed to beat Hillary? Rather than having adults answer these questions, maybe it’s time that kids share their opinions because the only opinions we ever get are old stinky adult ones. Find out in this episode of Arekcast, with your host Arek Gadomski, as we gather information from teenage High-school students on our president and discuss controversial topics regarding him.
