For teenagers, this is especially true. Adolescence is a time of upheaval, change and transition physically, socially, mentally and spiritually. Change is itself stressful. Emotional pain is a part of the human condition, but adolescents don't have much experience in managing their emotional pain. They feel emotional pain is unbearable and will never go away.
Suicidal adolescents have deep emotional pain that is felt with exquisite sensitivity.
We know that the teenager contemplating ending his or her life rarely talks to an adult about their troubles and emotional pain. They will almost always talk to another teenager first. GET HELP for your friend. Most teenagers have a code of silence. Emotional pain is endemic to this culture.
