SUICIDE IN YOUNG MEN

Suicide not only affects the person comitting the act, but everyone linked to them, friends, family, work mates and acquaintances, leaving a hole in their lives. A hole that was once filled with the laughter of that person.

Research has proved that men have a higher chance of taking their own lives than females. This is due to the fact that men supress their feelings to maintain their image of being a "man".

Suicide has taken over the largest cause of death in the male population, overriding freeway accidents, drug overdoses and alcohol-related problems. This can be linked to the increase in depression rates among the male population, especially the young adult male population.

The main reason for young men to commit suicide is the negative thoughts that gnaw at their minds slowly, making them feel depressed and unloved. This is where you have to take control, ignore that negative voice in your head that always brings you down. Think of all the positive things in life, and if you can't do that, think of all the people who are in your life. Think of how they will feel if you were to commit suicide, the loss they would feel. Think of your parents and how they will feel, they will think that they failed in doing their job of raising you.

Everyone has something they always look forward to, from a day out with your friends to a simple smile from your Mom, these are the things you need to think of when a negative thought enters your mind. Say to your self with a powerful determined thought that I will learn to transform and not to blame life's adverse situation for the way you feel, take control and seek solutions. .

To seek the help and guidance of a psychologist can lead you to a more positive and prosperous life.
