The Seriousness Of Suicide In America

The Seriousness Of Suicide In America

Trinity Edwards, Staff Writer

Hi my name is Trinity, today I will be talking to you about the seriousness of suicide in America. The reason why suicide is such a big issue is because every year the suicide rate goes up by 4%, the estimated amount of people that take their own life is 704,000 people a year in america. Every week there are 20 people who attempt and fail to commit suicide but imagine if they actually committed that could have been 140 more people added to the 704,000 people that committed suicide.

Imagine a world were there was no bullying or monstrous things happening to the good or innocent people. What if everyone was happy and had a safe place where they could get away from all of their bad well some people don’t have that, they don’t have a safe place or safe people they could talk to about what they’re feeling, to talk about all the hurt, about all the anger, about all of the the sadness in their life.
