The harassment he experienced in high school included being shoved into lockers and having his clothes taken when he was showering. Kelby is a teenage girl feeling unwelcome in her own town, after coming out as a lesbian. After coming out, many…

Unfortunately, about 41,000 people every year do not get to share the privilege with me of saying that they beat depression and suicide. They tragically cut their lives short for a plethora of different reasons. Perhaps they face persecution for being a member of the LGBT community or they feel that they are failing in school or their job and they see no way out. For me, I felt alone and isolated. Luckily, though, I made it through the darkest tunnel, and now I see nothing but a glowing future…

This story is one of caution to the readers. A story that says to not lose yourself in the…

Epidemic of Adolescent Suicides Suicide is one of the most saddening topics to discuss. As a whole, suicide is awful. However, the population that I find the most concerning is adolescents. Sadly, suicide is the third leading cause of death in adolescents. With an influx of bullying and society’s ideals of perfection, there is no wonder how a depressed teen’s fixation on suicide is fed. In order to investigate the topic, I read three peer reviewed journals discussing teen suicide. All of…

Q6: Suicide is selfish I think suicide seems selfish because it leaves behind survivors whose world is forever changed and who must grieve the loss of a loved one.

Gun violence should be treated as a public health issue, especially in today’s society since more and more people have their own gun(s). The number of gun violence related crimes can be prevented and or diminished just like any other public health issue. Most of these gun violence…

Another objection that can arise from this case is the idea that if the patient commits assisted suicide by self starvation, then how does it produce the greatest outcome?
