"This sobering examination of teenage suicide offers honest reflection on a crisis that is too often ignored. This year, at least 700,000 high school students will attempt suicide-one in every 13 high school students in the United States. This thought-provoking study looks into the troubling questions that such statistics raise, such as why teenage girls attempt suicide at a rate three times that of boys and why the suicide rate for African American teens has more than doubled in the past 20 years. Using more than 100 interviews, visits to schools, and studies with teens, Portner creates a frank portrait of coming of age in contemporary American society." -From the Publisher
