teenage suicide in the present society

teenage suicide in the present society

The articles discuss teenage suicide in the present society using Kuwait as a significant location. Muna, (2) notes that in the modern world, life has changed, and it is challenging for parents to control the behaviors and ideas of their children without monitoring these cases. Muna, (2), who wrote about Kuwait times, insists that the failure of parents to be flexible and create good relationships with the teenage girls and boys results in family conflicts. On the parents’ side, when conflicts occur, parents are likely to have bad moods, but the teenagers end up committing suicide. Muna (2) illustrates that recently, a Kuwait teenage girl ended her life after she was expelled from school and had a fight with her parents. The author believes that the suicide case could be avoided if parents and teachers could have had concerted efforts and explore the cause of the problems. Parents and teachers should consider it their primary responsibility to understand the root cause of teenage issues and formulate strategies to solve these issues (Muna, 2). The author adds that teenagers who commit suicide are often depressed, and the situation is recurring, and whenever it occurs, there must be a reason associated with suicide. Muna, (2), concludes that helping teenage girls and boys is only possible when the depressed girls and boys are monitored for violent behaviors before a relevant solution is explored.

1. Thesis

The article on “Teen Suicide” is written with a few flaws, which might hinder the reader from understating the information presented. The paper discusses how clarity as an essential element of an article is not well presented in the article. Generality is also another element that is used in the article. The last aspect of the article, which is coherent, is the lack of evidence to support the study. Finally, ways to mitigate the weaknesses will be presented for discussion.

2. Discussion

The author has failed to be clear on the specific facts presented in the article. For example, the author states that a lot of research is performed on Kuwait and Gulf nations and has shown the four reasons to support the study (Muna, 2). The author states that most of the suicides performed are high among the girls, but there is no clear statement to support the reasoning. A good article is supported with clear subsequent statements which the reader can easily refer to obtain an explanation. The article is full of generality on the group of the study, and this complicates the topic to the reader. “I believe that teens who kill themselves are depressed” (Muna, 2). Teens consist of several groups of individuals who are differentiated by age. The author should have indicated the reference group here, for example, by using the adolescents to make the study clearer. Lack of evidence is a common mistake experienced in most articles, and this makes it difficult for the readers to believe the fact presented by the author. “It confirms that parents discriminate between boys’ and girls’ troubles in school and life” (Muna, 2). Relevant statistics do not support the above statement by the author, and it is hard to believe the truth behind the statement. The author should have involved figures like percentages to indicate the severity of the issue explained. The author can also further provide a comparison with other states for further understanding by the reader.

3. Conclusion

Generally, the article has tried to explain the cause of teen suicide in the society with Kuwait and Gulf nations as the reference. The major problem presented here is clarity through a lack of explanations for the statements used. Another issue that is common in the entire article is extreme generality on teens without specifying the age difference and choosing a specific group. Finally, the article is not supported by enough evidence since it lacks statistics and comparisons. The author should use understandable statements with clear facts about the topic. Using statistical facts and comparisons with limited generality enhances the understanding of the problem of discussion. The article has explicitly provided the weaknesses presented by parents and teachers, which increases the incidences of suicide among teens. The author has hence called upon the Ministry of Education to be vigilant in their action towards circumventing expulsions of teenagers from schools.
