Teen Suicide and Bullying
Please read pages 109 – 110 for Kohlberg and Gilligan, then pages 95 – 100 for Erikson’s psychosocial dilemmas at different stages of life. Read pages 457 – 458 for readings on Suicide.
Coon et al. (2022) discuss the difficulties teenagers face in establishing their own identity, many problems stem from the unclear standards about the role adolescents should play within society. Coon et al. (2022) also explains that teenagers experience ambiguity, or unclear interpretations when defining their roles. This adds to their confusion of a clear and solid sense of self.
More and more often we are seeing cases presented in the media about teens who have taken their own lives as a result of bullying and cyberbullying (Wang, 2016). Coon et al. (2022) have argued that adolescence is a tumultuous time. However, Karen Horney’s theory explains that basic anxiety occurs because we live in a hostile world. An example in Wang (2016), report of a suicide by a 13-year-old girl in response to racial and social prejudice against perceived sexual orientation.

Bullying and teen suicide
Please read Kohlberg and Gilligan on pages 109-110, then Erikson’s psychological challenges at various phases of life on pages 95-100. Suicide readings can be found on pages 457-458.
Many of the problems that teens have in defining their own identity, according to Coon et al. (2022), originate from ambiguous ideals concerning the role adolescents should play in society. Teenagers experience ambiguity, or ambiguous interpretations, when defining their responsibilities, according to Coon et al. (2022). This further complicates their lack of a distinct and firm sense of self.
More and more incidents of youths taking their own lives as a result of bullying and cyberbullying are being reported in the media (Wang, 2016). Adolescence, according to Coon et al. (2022), is a turbulent phase. Karen Horney’s hypothesis, on the other hand, indicates that basic anxiety arises as a result of living in a hostile environment. In Wang (2016), a 13-year-old girl committed suicide in response to racial and societal prejudice against her alleged sexual orientation.
