In New Zealand we have one of the worlds highest youth suicide rates in the world, much higher than that of the US. The main problem start during high school where people harass one another in order to seem "cooler" among their peers. This usually leads to low self esteem, low self worth and low self confidence which causes depression among many of our younger kids.
Its tragic but it happens to everyone and the main way of preventing such tragedies from occuring again is through education and teaching those who are depressed that there is help avaliable.
