After decades, the problem has resurfaced and become one of the leading causes of death among people under 25 in Australia, surpassing car accidents and skin cancer (Power 2013 para. 1). Nowadays, people consider youth suicide to be an ordinary phenomenon. event in society because of its frequency.
