Suicide Ideation Paper

The Suicidal Risk Screening tool would have a great relevance in the counselling and community services sector, as it is often that clients seeking counselling may be struggling with depression or going through a difficult time in their lives.

It is important that the clinician using the tool and completing the assessment is able to describe their confidence when giving a risk factor level rating.

Would you want to live the rest of your life in extreme physical pain? The discussion of Assisted Suicide has sparked controversy around the world for decades. Assisted Suicide is when nurses end a patient’s life when they are suffering greatly from a mental or physical illness. Assisted Suicide has a dark history regarding who they killed and for what reason, and that needs to change with regulations. I believe that Assisted Suicide should remain in practice for those who are in constant physical pain due to chronic illnesses and diseases.

In today society, people tend to get hurt twenty-four seven intentionally or unintentionally. Getting hurt helps you learn from your mistakes such as a child learns not to put his/her finger into an electrical output or playing with fire.

Dr. Terry Ehiorobo is a principal who keeps a blog. One article from his blog is about bullying. He says this, “The issue of bullying has plagued many school systems in the US.

Previous studies have established that a majority of suicide attempts by LGB youth followed a personal awareness of same-sex attraction, but also occurred previous to revealing their sexual orientation to family, friends, or other people (D’Augelli et al., 2001). Regardless of sexual orientation, suicidal ideation often precedes a suicide attempt or completed suicide, and a past history of suicide attempt is the highest risk factor for future attempts and completions (Lewinsohn, Rohde, & Seeley, 1996). The extent to which bullying influences suicidal ideation is unclear, though evidence suggests a strong relationship is likely. A survey conducted by the Gay, Lesbian, and Straight Education Network (GLSEN, 2011) revealed that more than 80% of LGBTQ students from across the United States were verbally harassed at school and 38% were physically harassed specifically because of their sexual orientation.

Imagine wanting to kill yourself just because some dumb people decide to pick on you every day. It is horrid knowing that 12.1 per cent of students consider suicide yearly from bullying.

Unfortunately, teens are experiencing bullying and participating in bullying. Some extreme cases have ended in suicide or have been exploited in videos on media.
