A teenager takes his or her own life to escape adolescent pressures.
Each year tens of thousands of teenagers in the United States alone attempt to take their own life. The Bible gives a fundamental reason why many are in such a state of despair. It explains that we live in “critical times hard to deal with.” People feel the pressures of life with great intensity. (2 Timothy
3:1; Ecclesiastes 7:7) When a person is overwhelmed by life’s anxieties, he may contemplate suicide as a means to escape pain. I believe all sins are forgivable if someone is truly repentent.
