Girls today going through middle school and high school are going through a tough time with being themselves, and not accepting what was given to them at birth.
“The suicide rate for girls’ ages 10-14 increased a whopping 76 percent in 2004 ... for those between 15 and 18, the rate went up more than 30 percent,” says Ms. Zimmer.
Every girl has the same dream of having that perfect body, a brilliant mind, and keeping up a good reputation. Also with parents pressuring their kids about who they think they should be. With all this stress upon their shoulders it seems the only solution is suicide.
In your opinion, do you think suicide comes from a failure to be the "perfect girl"?
