If they attempt it and dont actually do it they might just be seeking attention or they are just afraid to either way get them help immediately

Answer also: Although the reasons why people commit suicide vary, certain events in life commonly trigger suicide. It is not uncommon for young ones to give in to despair and commit suicide to do so even over matters that seem trivial to others. When they feel hurt and cannot do anything about it, youths may view their own death as a means of getting back at the person who hurt them. A recent survey in Britain indicated that when children are subjected to severe bullying, they are nearly seven times as likely to attempt suicide. The emotional pain that these children suffer are real. Others may try to take their life when they get into trouble at school or with the law, suffer the end of a romance, get a bad report card, experience stress over exams, or become weighed down by worries about the future. Among high-achieving adolescents who may tend to be perfectionists, a setback or a failure-be it actual or imaginary-may bring on a suicide attempt. Loneliness is one of the factors that lead people to depression and suicide. (see 10/22/01 Awake magazine on Jehovah's Witnesses official website very informative and helpful article)
