PREPARE: The Problem
Recent epidemic of adolescent suicides in Delaware
In a typical Delaware High School classroom of 30 students, four will seriously consider suicide and at least one will attempt suicide.
It is the tenth-leading cause of death among DE residents and the third-leading cause of death for those aged 15–24.
Lack of Education for adolescents about suicide- not understanding the permanence and trauma of the issue
Data Gathering
Researched the Delaware area regarding suicide, bullying and related topics
From 2001 to 2005 a total of 460 people died by suicide in Delaware, or approximately 92 every year.
That means seven to eight Delawareans took their own lives each month on average, equivalent to one suicide death approximately every four days
Annual adolescent suicide rates per population of 100,000 are double in Delaware (10.5) than the national average (4.5)
Specific Circumstance of the Problem
The Center for Disease Control has actually been sent into Delaware to conduct a investigation on the worrisome string of adolescent suicides.
In particular, Poly Tech High had four suicides that occurred from January-February
Suicides have been linked to bullying
Suicides have been linked to rejected LGBT teens
Data Gathering
Began with a bully survey:We asked the students how they felt about bully’s in their school then gave them a questionnaire to fill out about bullying behaviors
