Picturing Myself Dying In A Way I Choose Myself Seems So Comforting, Healing And Heroic. I'D Look At My Wrists, Watch The Blood Seeping, And Be A Spectator In My Last Act Of Selfdetermination. By Having Lost All My Selfrespect It Seems Like The Last Pride I Own, Determining The Time I Die.'Kyra V., Seventeenreading The Confessions Of A Teenager Contemplating Suicide Is Uncomfortable, But We Must Do So To Understand Why Selfharm Has Become Epidemic, Especially In The United States. What Drives Teenagers To Selfharm? What Makes Death So Attractive, So Liberating, And So Inevitable For So Many? In Teenage Suicide Notes, Sociologist Terry Williams Pores Over The Writings Of A Diverse Group Of Troubled Youths To Better Grasp The Motivations Behind Teenage Suicide And To Humanize Those At Risk Of Taking Their Own Lives.Williams Evaluates Young People In Rural And Urban Contexts And Across Lines Of Race, Class, Gender, And Sexual Orientation. His Approach, Which Combines Sensitive Portrayals With Sociological Analysis, Adds A Clarifying Dimension To The Fickle And Often Frustrating Behavior Of Adolescents. Williams Reads Between The Lines Of His Subjects' Seemingly Straightforward Reflections On Alienation, Agency, Euphoria, And Loss, And Investigates How This Cocktail Of Emotions Can Lead To Suicideor Not. Rather Than Treating These Notes As Exceptional Examples Of Selfexpression, Williams Situates Them At The Center Of Teenage Life, Linking Them To Abuse, Violence, Depression, Anxiety, Religion, Peer Pressure, Sexual Identity, And Family Dynamics. He Captures The Currents That Turn Selfdestruction Into An Act Of Selfdetermination And Proposes More Effective Solutions To Resolving The Suicide Crisis.
