Third Leading Cause of Death
MD Young Shin Kim and MD Bennett Leventhal argues that bullying increases the risk of suicide ideations and/or behaviors in a broad spectrum of youth. They claim that suicide is the third leading cause of teen deaths in the United States. Young and Leventhal develop this claim by first investigating large studies in the year of 2008 on a large scare rang in the United States that stated the different amount of percentages of suicidal ideation, attempts, and enough of an attempt to get medical treatment for the victims of bullying. Young and Leventhal conclude there are three types of suicidality being: suicidal ideation, suicidal behavior, and composite score. Lastly, the author goes into further detail describing each suicidality, such as suicidal behavior being placed with self-harm for instance cutting, overdose of medicine, or even burning. Also, suicidal ideation meaning how a victim can pronounce comments including, “Why am I here” or “I am unimportant”. In addition, the composite score is when there are questions asked to the bullied victim to see how bad the outcome of suicidality really is. Young Shin Kim and Bennett Leventhals’ purpose is to show the statics of recent studies of bullying leading to suicide in the United States in order to show how suicide is the third leading cause of death for teens in the United States. This work is significant because it is based off of other credible works and surveys that have been citied. Also, it was found on a scholarly source which was Google Scholars. Each of the authors are MD’s, except for Young who is a master in three separate components other than a MD. Young Shin Kim is also an assistant professor at Yale University School of Medicine. Lastly, the source can be significant because it states the submitted, revised, and accepted dates it was published.
