It is difficult to understand what is going on inside the head of a suicidal adolescent. What can be done to make them happy again? Well, when I think of happiness, I think of warmth and laughter. If there is one thing that adolescents are good at, it is being silly. Anyone can help a person become happy, including friends. The article does not go in depth at all about the study that was done, so I am skeptical of it’s accuracy.. I believe that getting a suicidal adolescent to become happy again would take more than help from the parents and a lover, it would also require support from peers. Quality support from parents would help most suicidal adolescents, but alone could not fix the problems. A group effort is needed. Parents can give the adolescent support and someone to talk to, where the peers can provide fun and a sense of acceptance. All social interactions are important in providing a good environment.
