Youth suicide
Factors such as being exposed to a suicide, having tried suicide in the past, and age impact the probablility of a young person committing suicide. Some researchers have found that someone who has seen a classmate commit suicide. They therefore thought that suicide may be contagious.  They note how a child's exposure to suicide predicts ideas about suicide and attempts. A parent trying to commit suicide similarly has an influence: it will increase the chance of the adolescent of thinking about suicide by 3.5%, and the chance of trying to commit suicide by 2.6%. Another cause which can lead youngsters to a suicide attempt is that  parents are violent at home.
