  • Persuasive Essay On Suicide Prevention In Schools

    1113 Words  | 3 Pages

    When I received a text from my closest friend expressing to me her hatred of her life, and her desire to end it I didn’t have a reaction. I didn’t know how I was supposed to react. Looking back on that event, I’m quite lucky that she was willing to open up to me. Most parents, educators, and friends aren’t given such an opportunity to help; and in many cases, the suicide is sudden and unexpected. Laurie Flynn, director of the Carmel Hill Center for Early Diagnosis and Treatment at Columbia University, retells her personal experience in this description of her daughters attempted suicide “She was one of those kids who was a little star . . . I thought if she was depressed, I would see it. The truth is, you don 't know” (Hosansky). Flynn shows that not only is there a lack of education in suicide prevention, but also an issue with the programs used to educate. If she, a woman well trained in child and adolescent psychiatry, cannot find signs of her own daughters’ depression how can any of the blissfully unaware seek out youth in need? Deschutes County has taken several steps in displaying the impact depression can have on the community’s youth and the ways we can work against it.

They argue that society should respect and defer to the freedom of choice such people exercise in asking to be killed. This essay intends to debunk this point of view on the basis of mental illness among those patients involved.
