Youth suicide is when a young person, generally categorized as someone below age 21, deliberately ends their own life.

Rates of attempted and completed youth suicide in Western societies and other countries are high.

Youth suicide attempts are more common among girls, but adolescent males are the ones who usually carry out suicide.

Suicide rates in youths have nearly tripled between the 1960s and 1980s.

For example, in Australia suicide is second only to motor vehicle accidents as it leading cause of death for people aged 15–25, and according to the National Institute for Mental Health, suicide is the third leading cause of death among teens in the United States.

Based on a survey done on American high school students, 16% reported considering suicide and 8% reported attempting suicide sometime within the 12 months before taking the survey.

Between 1980 and 1994, the suicide rates of young black males doubled.

American Indians and Alaska Natives commit suicide at a higher rate than any other ethnic group in the United States.

In India, one-third of suicides are young people 15–29.

In 2002, 154,000 suicides were recorded in India.

Suicide prevention is an umbrella term for the collective efforts of local citizen organizations, health professionals and related professionals to reduce the incidence of suicide.

Beyond direct to stop an impending suicide, methods also involve a) treating the psychological and psycho-physiological symptoms of depression, b) improving the coping strategies of persons who would otherwise seriously consider suicide, c) reducing the prevalence of conditions believed to constitute risk factors for suicide, and d) giving people hope for a better life after current problems are resolved.

Education is the process of facilitating learning, or the acquisition of knowledge, skills, values, beliefs, and habits.

Educational methods include storytelling, discussion, teaching, training, and directed research.

Education frequently takes place under the guidance of educators, but learners may also educate themselves.

Education can take place in formal or informal settings and any experience that has a formative effect on the way one thinks, feels, or acts may be considered educational.

The methodology of teaching is called pedagogy.

Belief is the state of mind in which a person thinks something to be the case, with or without there being empirical evidence to prove that something is the case with factual certainty.

Another way of defining belief sees it as a mental representation of an attitude positively oriented towards the likelihood of something being true.

In the context of Ancient Greek thought, two related concepts were identified with regards to the concept of belief: pistis and doxa.

Simplified, we may say that pistis refers to "trust" and "confidence", while doxa refers to "opinion" and "acceptance".

The English word "orthodoxy" derives from doxa.

Jonathan Leicester suggests that belief has the purpose of guiding action rather than indicating truth.

A nonprofit organization (also known as a non-business entity) is an organization whose purpose is something other than making a profit.

A nonprofit organization is often dedicated to furthering a particular social cause or advocating for a particular point of view.

In economic terms, a nonprofit organization uses its surplus revenues to further achieve its purpose or mission, rather than distributing its surplus income to the organization's shareholders (or equivalents) as profit or dividends.

This is known as the non-distribution constraint.

The decision to adopt a nonprofit legal structure is one that will often have taxation implications, particularly where the nonprofit seeks income tax exemption, charitable status and so on.
