From Library Journal
Grade 6 Up-Murphy speaks to teens contemplating suicide, the second leading cause of death in this age group, and to anyone who is close to such troubled individuals. Employing anonymous case histories, he explores contributing factors such as societal stress, challenges of adolescent development, and the special problems of gay and lesbian teens. Depression is cited as an important symptom and stage of the process leading to suicide. There are excellent chapters on "Mistaken Thinking" (a sense of limited options and illusions about the nature of death), coping skills, and the plight of surviving relatives and friends. The author's style is intelligent and sympathetic. He attempts to build on the positive aspects present in every life, but he is neither dogmatic nor unrealistic. Another useful title on the subject is Bev Cobain's emotionally charged When Nothing Matters Anymore (Free Spirit, 1998). Alvin Silverstein's Depression (Enslow, 1997) and Lisa Wolff's Teen Depression (Lucent, 1998) deal with a major component of the suicide conundrum.
