They're so down on their self they get bullied classmates make fun of them their friends are unforgiving people expect more then they give the person a lot of low self-esteem they want to die normally have problems in their family people threaten them. They're afraid to talk to family members cause they are so ashamed they look bad their appearance is bad they cut on their selfs they hide school grades are down they have no reason to live there are no friends if they have a friend they ask the friend to say nothing then they just want to die.
Kidshealth says: "Most teens interviewed after making a suicide attempt say that they did it because they were trying to escape from a situation that seemed impossible to deal with or to get relief from really bad thoughts or feelings. Like Ethan, they didn't want to die as much as they wanted to escape from what was going on. And at that particular moment dying seemed like the only way out. Some people who end their lives or attempt suicide might be trying to escape feelings of rejection, hurt, or loss. Others might feel angry, ashamed, or guilty about something. Some people may be worried about disappointing friends or family members. And some may feel unwanted, unloved, victimized, or like they're a burden to others. We all feel overwhelmed by difficult emotions or situations sometimes. But most people get through it or can put their problems in perspective and find a way to carry on with determination and hope. So why does one person try suicide when another person in the same tough situation does not? What makes some people more resilient (better able to deal with life's setbacks and difficulties) than others? What makes a person unable to see another way out of a bad situation besides ending his or her life? The answer to those questions lies in the fact that most people who commit suicide have depression."
Nicolaj,
First off, people commit suicide for many different reasons. Most fall into 4 different groups:
(1) Mental Health - Depression - usually unknown
("I didn't know she was depressed..")
(2) Pain - physical
("I can't take another day of pain.")
(3) Acute High Stress
("I just killed someone and the police are outside!")
(4) Acute Depression -Loss of Something
("I can't live now that your gone!")
I will try to offer more info soon.
Good luck to you and your project!
people commit suicide because they feel so low about themselves. because people have forced them to view themselves as worthless. you want a real answer I am someone whose attempted because I was told to kill myself by my friends. and family. the words swim around the persons head often making them hear voices telling them things such as
"who would miss you" "why try and live nobody wants you here" "if they could they'ed kill you thereselves"
aa person has to feel super low to kill themselves......

It's sad a person can think that way - not realizing the good points in life, especially when there's a shit ton. Especially if they have a perfect life and is not to exposed to things like bullying or awful events, that's when it has a big impact. If only they'd realize there's so much more to life than that. Spread the word.
