"Attempted suicides among adolescents occur because they feel lonely, have no self-esteem and fall into depression; but they are also impulsive acts that are triggered by incidents that seem irrelevant to others. They are a cry pleading attention and help. A quarrel, a misunderstanding, difficulties in school, a rupture with a close friend can be a sufficient cause that leads them to a state of feeling angry, useless, unwanted and desperate".
