Shocking figures show one in twelve U.S. teenagers have tried to kill themselves

A new study has revealed that one in twelve U.S. teenagers has attempted suicide.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention released their 2011 Youth Risk Behavior Survey results where they found almost eight per cent of teens have tried to kill themselves at least once.

On a larger scale, suicides made up 13 per cent of all deaths among U.S. youths ages 10 to 24 last year, according to the study.
