Teenagers contemplating suicide very rarely make use of the organizations that can help them at such a time. According to Chu Kai-yu, general secretary of the Taipei City Lifeline, teenagers account for less than 6 % of calls for help that the lifeline receives, and when teenagers do attempt suicide they often succeed first time around.
