Task 3. The Right to Die.
Hello everyone!
I am glad to see
you in my blog again.
The main our
treasure is our life. It is not common to discuss topics associated with death.
But I strongly believe that precisely this theme cannot be silenced. Nowadays,
most teenagers entering the transitional age and faced with the first
difficulties in their lives do not want to solve anything and find suicide as the only possible way out and the
way to get rid of all the difficulties. In «The Guardian» I have found an
article denoted the level of suicide in England and Wales.
According to
statistics, suicide rate rises among young people in England and Wales. This
suggests that a large number of young people have mental health problems.
The suicide rate
among adolescent girls reached its record high in 2017. Fifty-six girls in this age group killed themselves last
year, the highest number since 1981. As for the boys, there were 121
young male suicides last year, compared to 74 in 2010.
As a whole, Scotland
has the highest suicide rate in Great Britain, at 13.9 per 100,000. England has
the lowest at 9.2 per 100,000.
Experts believe that more attention should be paid to
the problems of adolescent violence and bullying among adolescents. We should raise
this issue and encourage teens to
seek help when they need to.
Why do you think the
number of teenagers killing themselves is growing? How to prevent this? Why do
teenagers consider suicide a solution to all problems?
There are some words
and collocations which I hope you will find useful:
Suicide rate – уровень самоубийства
The suicide rate among men of all ages in UK is
falling
·
a growing
mental health crisis - растущий кризис психического здоровья
A growing mental health
crisis is a cause of the rising of the suicide rate in Scotland.
·
to spark – вызвать, спровоцировать
I hope that my post was
informative and you found something useful in it.
Thanks for reading!
