Warning Signs Having knowledge of suicide warning signs is the first step in being able to help an adolescent in need. Several of these signs together may indicate it's time to talk openly with the individual you are concerned about. It is important to remember, however, that even healthy teens exhibit some of these signs from time to time. No one single sign is a sure indicator of suicide.

Issues surrounding homosexuality are worth special notice.
Gun safety is also a crucial precaution that every gun owner should practice. Statistics show that the risk of suicide is five times greater if there's a gun in the home.
