It has become an increasingly common way young persons use to attempt to escape their difficulties.

Reality: The ideas already exist! Talking about them may help bring them into the open where they can be dealt with honestly and directly. . Myth: Most suicides take place atnight. Reality: More suicides occur in late afternoon or early evening when it may be possible for others to see and stop -the suicidal person, than late at night, when friends and family would be asleep.

The usual cause of depression is an individual's inability to fulfill his goals or to function adequately under pressure. Heightened aggression turned inward also promotes some suicides. This occurs when a person has a bitter hatred toward another person, whom he wishes to love, and turns this hatred inward towards himself. Various kinds of stress, causing severe feelings of failure and disappointment, may lead to a. conscious suicidal gesture. Such action usually reflects a plea for help.
