| Review: |
"In Suicide: No Turning Back, actors graphically depict in gory detail individuals committing suicide. The video begins with a viewer discretion warning. It defines suicide, describes who is at risk, discusses how it involves teens, theorizes the reasons for teen suicide, presents signals given by potential suicide victims, points out ways to prevent suicide, and explains how and where to get help. The facts presented are useful and highlight the problem of teen suicide in the United States. The section on theories of suicide includes Durkheim, Freud, behavioral psychologists, and the role of depression, which would make it useful in sociology and psychology classes. The music reflects the seriousness of the subject matter. EVN's Suicide Among Teens covers much of the same information without the gore."
