Suicide is a continuous issue that affects thousands, ranking as the second leading cause
of death in the United States. The Internet, a prominent part of our daily lives, and with the vast
amount of content available, it is thought to be a correlating cause to suicide among teenagers.
Thus, the Internet is seen as a provocative resource rather than a preventive one in regards to
suicide or suicide related behavior among teenagers. Suicide chat rooms, cybersuicides, and
cyberbullying, are some of the many negative existences in the Internet that occur more often
than one may think. Therefore, it is important to become aware of this public health concern and
take action. It is in our hands to make an impact in the lives of many, as we come together and
prevent teenage suicide.
