Suicide
Even though suicide is one of the scariest things to discuss, those conversations are critical because suicide is the second leading cause of death for adolescents. Incidence of thinking about suicide and suicide attempts increase and peak in middle and high school. Openly talking about the risk and learning healthy coping skills early is key.
