Every year troubled teens attempt suicide. In fact, for every completed suicide, it is estimated that there are about 25 suicide attempts. Nearly every troubled teenager has suicidal thoughts at some point. And teens who take that farther, in an attempt to actually kill themselves, are also crying out for help. Even though they might feel like they want to die, at the same time many of them are happy when they realize that there are people who want to help them overcome their issues.
