One-third of British children consider suicide by age 16 – report
Up to one-third of children in the UK have either attempted or considered taking their own lives, according to a new report which sheds light on the ‘shocking statistics’ of suicide in the Britain.
The latest study for the brand-new mental health charity service MindFull, a sister of the BeatBullying charity, has revealed that 32 per cent of British youths have experienced suicidal thoughts.
On top of this, 29 per cent of youngsters deliberately harmed themselves, while over 12 per cent felt they were failures on an almost daily basis when they were under the age of 16.
Of the 850,000 British youngsters with diagnosable mental health problems, almost 75 per cent get no treatment due to a huge lack of support for those seeking help, according to the report.
“Too many children who try to speak out about the way they are feeling are being let down or simply ignored,” said Emma-Jane Cross, founder and chief executive of MindFull.
