GOLDENDALE, WASHINGTON
Results from latest
Healthy Youth, Survey
(HYS), taken in the fall of
2016 by tweens and teens
in Washington, shows that
one in five high school
students seriously consid-
ered suicide in the past 12
months.
During the past decade,
there has been a 6 percent-
age point rise in 8th and
10th graders in our state
who have contemplated
suicide and an 8 percent-
age point increase in
12th graders• "This is an
alarming trend," said Gov.
Jay Inslee. "Suicide can
be prevented if we know
what signs to look for. We
must educate ourselves as
parents, grandparents and
neighbors to let our kids
know that they have sup-
port and encouragement
they need and that we
believe, care and support
them in every way."
Inslee signed an exec-
utive order last year that
promotes suicide preven-
tion training and educa-
tion efforts. The survey
results show a higher
percentage of girls (26 per-
cent) think about suicide,
with 13 percent attempting
