Bullying has the power to influence adults and cause them to struggle holding a job, lead to mental health problems, and prompt depression (Castillo 37). All of these problems can lead to anxiety and fears which is conducive to suicidal thoughts.…

    According to a study done last year, nearly one quarter of all aboriginal people have admitted to contemplating suicide at one or more times in their life. This statistic is troubling as is, but when you take into consideration the fact that there are likely many aboriginal people who chose not to admit to having suicidal thoughts, this statistic becomes even more frightening. The Canadian Institute of Health did a study that states that the rate of suicides amongst aboriginal youth (age 15-24) were approximately five to six times higher than that of non-aboriginal youth.
