October is ACES and Resilience Awareness month.  It is a time when we acknowledge the pain that many of our youth (and all generations) deal with.  Life can often seem bleak and hopeless.

The Hard Facts About Teenage Isolation

  • Suicide is the third leading cause of death among teenagers. 18.3% of our high school sophomores reported considering suicide in the last 12 months. 14.1% made a plan. 7.5% attempted one or more times.
  • 31% of our sophomores claimed they felt so sad or hopeless almost every day for two weeks or more in a row that they stopped doing usual activities.
  • When asked if they have an adult to turn to when they feel sad or hopeless, over 51% of high school sophomores answered “no” or “not sure.”
  • 63% of students say they feel alone in their lives.
