As parents of teens, sometimes it is hard to determine what could be a sign of a serious problem and what is a normal part of growing up.
According to the Center for Disease Control and Prevention, a nationwide survey of students in grades 9 - 12 found that 16% of students reported considering suicide, 13% created a plan, and 8% reported a suicide attempt in the year preceding the survey. About 157,000 adolescents between the ages of 10 and 24 receive medical care for self-inflicted injuries across the US. How do you know what is a sign of a serious problem and when to seek professional counseling for your teen? - Depression
