She also goes into a detailed discussion about bullying and social media. She call for those working with teens and living/ loving teens to be more vigilant with today's teens and to be more open to talk about suicide with teens. *suicide is 3rd leading cause of death for 15-24 year olds; suicide has tripled in 10-14 yr old girls. PTSD is number one symptom for possible suicide attempt.
