Response to Lisa Otten
Hello Lisa, your presentation was very comprehensive and worth listening to. I agree with you that suicide is the second leading cause of death among youth aged 15 to 24 years. It is no doubt that the United States is amongst the leading nations that experience high cases of suicide amongst adolescents. I liked the way you took your time to find some statistics relating to suicide among adolescents, and these figures are call-awakening that suicide among adolescents is a problem that needs joint efforts to address (Stone et al. 2017). You comprehensively educated us on the signs that may result in committing suicide.

Response to Joshua Martin
Hello Joshua, I really enjoyed watching and listening to your presentation. Your presentation was worth my time. I agree with you that stress and depression are among the contributing factors to increased cases of suicide among adolescents. You fluently and concisely presented your points and gave crucial examples to complement your presentation. Of more importance in your presentation was how you did your research to find some essential statistics that inform us that we need to remain close to our fellow adolescents so as to be aware when they may be planning to commit suicide. Your suicide facts show just how serious adolescent suicide is in the community (Stone et al. 2017).
