Suicide is the eleventh most common cause of death in the United States. People may consider suicide when they are hopeless and can't see any other solution to their problems. Often it's related to serious depression, alcohol or substance abuse, or a major stressful event.
People who have the highest risk of suicide are white men, though women and teens report more suicide attempts. If someone talks about suicide, you should take it seriously. Urge them to get help from their doctor or the emergency room, or call 911.
Therapy and medicines can help most people who have suicidal thoughts. Treating mental illnesses and substance abuse can reduce the risk of suicide.

'''Suicide''' (from Latin ''sui caedere'', to kill oneself) is the act of intentionally ending one's own life; it is sometimes a noun for one who has committed, or attempted the act. Suicide is viewed in varying ways among the cultures, religions, legal and social systems of the world. It is considered a sin or immoral act in many religions, and a crime in some jurisdictions. On the other hand, some cultures have viewed it as an honorable way to exit certain shameful or hopeless situations. Persons attempting or dying by suicide sometimes leave a suicide note. According to stricter definitions of suicide, to be considered suicide, the death must be a central component and intent of the act, not just a certain consequence; hence, suicide bombing is considered a kind of bomb rather than a kind of suicide, and martyrdom usually escapes religious or legal proscription. Generally, there are only legal consequences when there is death and proof of intent. However, not all follow this narrower defintion. Certainly, a suicide bomber knows that death will be part of the outcome of his or her actions. by Jacques-Louis David, 1787
