Life under Pressure - The Social...

Seth Abrutyn, Anna S. Mueller

A rare study that transforms our understanding of why youth die by suicide, why youth suicide clusters happen, and how to stop them 
 
 
 
In Life under Pressure, Anna S. Mueller and Seth Abrutyn investigate the social roots of youth suicide and why certain places weather disproportionate incidents of adolescent suicides and suicide clusters. Through close examination of kids' lives in a community repeatedly rocked by youth suicide clusters, Mueller and Abrutyn reveal how the social worlds that youth inhabit and the various messages they learn in those spaces—about who they are supposed to be, mental illness, and help-seeking—shape their feelings about themselves and in turn their risk of suicide. With great empathy, Mueller and Abrutyn also identify the moments when adults unintentionally fail kids by not talking to them about suicide, teaching them how to seek help, or helping them grieve. 
 
 
 
Through stories of survival, resilience, and even rebellion, Mueller and Abrutyn show how social environments can cause suicide and how they can be changed to help kids discover a life worth living. By revealing what it is like to live and die in one community, Life under Pressure offers tangible solutions to one of the twenty-first century's most tragic public health problems.

Archer Vale

“In the wild, the strong subjugate the weak. They take their food. They take their territory.” 
I’ve lost control. I’m a commander, but my soldiers no longer respect me. It’s because of the new recruit…he’s making me weak. 
I give him my food rations. I give him my money. Something about it feels right. When I look at his muscles, my eyes glaze over and rational thought becomes impossible. 
He’s put me on a special diet—I’m becoming emaciated. This is the end of my military career. Everything I’ve built is slipping away. 
I need to kneel before him. I need to spread my legs and accept my place in the male hierarchy.
