According to statistics all over the world 1 million people commit suicide every year, this means that one person dies every 20 seconds. Young people of the age from 14 to 17 are mainly exposed to committing suicide. It happens because of vulnerable age and low self-esteem.
Violent behavior in children are typically those that identified as causing intentional and serious harm to another. But we should see what causes them to behave in this way.
When a teenager is alone with his problems the committing suicide seems to be the only solution to all his problems. This is not true.

IV.Conclusion.
We have an infinite Potential. Many times we think we can not do something. We limit ourselves and stop even before trying to do something. Sometimes our old beliefs must be shifted, and learning English language is not as difficult as we think. English language is one of the easiest languages.
And now I will show you that we can do anything we want. The KEY of our desire to do, to be and to have more. I give you two minutes to read the text quickly and try to understand it. (This text is used to explain that not everything is difficult as it may seem first. It can help to develop pupils’ ability to react fast and get used to new conditions. And mainly this text is used to increase English language literacy).

Did you understand the text? Did you like it? At the beginning you thought you couldn’t read. Now you see you can. Whatever you want in the life – you can have it. Find what you want, define your goals, write your plans and follow your dreams! You should know that you are responsible for everything in your life, not only for good things. When we make it of our merit easily but also for bad things. When we like to think that is not our fault.
It’s easy to be a teenager, it’s easy to be what you want when you discover, develop and apply your intellectual faculties.
7 “Educated people have developed the faculties of their mind so that they may acquire anything they want or it’s equivalent, without violating the rights of others.” /Napoleon Hill/
