Summary
Each year, the rate of teenage suicide is rapidly increasing. Did you know that as many as fourteen teenagers commit suicide each day in the United States? Suicide is the third leading cause of death among teens and the second leading cause among college students. In Breaking Point, author Dr. Dorris Woods demystifies the cause of teenage suicide with compelling new information as well as vignettes that remind us of each tragic loss. Her work captures the essence of teenage suicide and illuminates the "trigger" factors that cause it. Significant and timely, it will make a difference in the nation's approach to teenage suicide prevention.
