A mental health service found out that the number of teenagers in the hospital
who have suicidal thoughts and self-inflict injures has grown significantly.
Dr. Hazen says, “We're seeing twice as many kids as we were 10 years ago”. Dr.
Hazen mentioned that the kids who hurt themselves usually from cutting
themselves with knife or anything that’s sharp and burn themselves for no good
reason. Self- inflict injure could be caused by depression and anxiety. In
2009-13, the number of the kids who hurt themselves and shows up in the
emergency rises significantly. Many factors can make Kids and teenagers to hurt
themselves, like experience a break up, a death or a poor grade. The Doctors
says about this situation “almost a fad to cut now”.
In my opinion, the
teenagers are always feeling more stressed due to the fact that they are in adolescence.
When people are in adolescence, they can’t really control themselves and they
will always need to find something to vent their emotions and feelings. When
they feel rock music and gaming isn’t strong enough, they will look for
something like drugs and self- injuring. I think the solution of this is to
teach the teenagers and the kids to control their feelings and mood. Sometimes
they also hurt the people they love and the people who have nothing to do with
the deal they involved in.
