Description
The book explores the current cultural and social situation and how the pressure-filled lives of today's adolescents can lead to anxiety, depression, and ultimately suicide. More than thirty years after the first edition of the book "Deadly Serious," this second, revised, and updated edition addresses new topics: bullying, social media, LGBTQ adolescents, self-harm, suicide prevention programs, and more. Dozens of teenagers share their stories here. The book advises on how to interact with people who have suicidal thoughts and depression and how to recognize 16 warning signs to prevent suicides. It is intended for adolescents themselves, adults, educators, counselors, school psychologists, and for teaching purposes. It is also for anyone who has ever had to deal with thoughts of suicide or attempted it. It advises on how to ensure the right help before it's too late. It is a book that aims to help without pity and intends to educate those who want to help others but do not know how to start.
