Abstract
Suicide now outranks pneumonia, polio, tuberculosis, diabetes, rheumatic fever, kidney disease, appendicitis and leukemia as a cause of death in teenagers. Only accidents and cancer are more common lethal problems. On college campuses today, suicide is second only to accidents as a cause of death. This report at tempts to examine the reasons behind a young person's urge toward self-destruction.Keywords
