do abused kids have more of a chance of commiting suicide when their older?

I would probably say yes, but then is kind of like when people are asking whether or not children would have more of chance of smoking if their parents did.\n\nThey probably do have a better chance of commiting suicide, because they were brought up to think that they are worthless and horrible.

child sexual abuse,mental,and emotional abuse because these can lead to killing and suicide.They are severely messed up because of someone else and its hard to change them back to innocence, so they become dangerous adults......

In too many ways to go into here, but briefly .. kids with unhappy childhoods put up a shell, then later the shell becomes a wall. Kids also assume that their alcoholic family is the only unhappy family there is, suffering because they don't know otheer families in other houses are unhappy too. Read "Adult Children of Alcoholics" for more details -- I cried when I recognized the syndrome in my life. Very good luck to you.

I suppose it should be someone's choice, however it is the same thing as suicide, only with someone assisting one to their death.  This challenges me to pose the question of if assisting someone in their suicide would be considered a lesser degree of homicide on the accomplice's part?\nToo confusing to go any father.

Like people have been saying, I fear for my children's safety and health. I also sometimes thing about how awful it would be if my child caused someone's death or injured them.\n\nSome of my lesser fears are that they will become part of some extremist group (Ruby Ridge and Waco come to mind). Or that they will marry or partner with someone that abuses them or makes them miserable.

Yes, it's definitely possible. It can be best seen in children from troubled families.MAny children approach a parent's death or a divorce or separation between parents in a very stoic manner. Believe me,kids will never fail to surprise you.

I could see it either way. Parents with one child seem to have the highest odds of outliving their kids. But then I could see how if there are more kids there are more odds not necessarily higher ones. The more kids there are the more there are to   die between the time they were born then the time the parents could die.

YES,,,\nMental, Physical, Emotional, Sexual, ALL forms of violence and all are damaging to children, I grew up in a violent home and It took me years to realize that I was worth something and know that not all people were that way.\nIf you are in a violent situation, or you know of kids that are, it is best to get out AND GET HELP.\nIf someone moved to fast around me I would shake, if someone raised there voice around me I was scared.\nI lost allot of my childhood because I lived in fear.

You answered your own question. You were pushing the abuse away and now you can't any longer. It is easier to detach from your abuse when you are younger, now that your getting older it is harder to push away and the abuse is still happening that is why you feel depressed and suicidal now. It is a good idea to seek professional help. No one deserves to be treated the way you are being treated.

Well I really don't care for either choice myself and as for what would other people do, my guess is there is more incest in this world than suicides and the suicides end up being the ones that were abused.\nYou really didn't ask what I would do or any person specifically, so that is why I have answered the question this way.

I have been blessed with having my parents still with me. My little cousins, however, are a different story. My paternal cousin's husband had killed her, and then he committed suicide. They left three young children all under the age of 10 at that time. Fortunately, they have an uncle (another cousin) and a grandma (my uncle's former wife) that are raising them. Of course, they will never know how much a biological parent can give to a child. Then again, I have heard horror stories of what biological parents do to their kids. Really, it's all about how the situation is. It could have been much worse, and the kids might have been split up and put out for adoption. The key is trying to make the best out of any situation. At least the kids were not involved.

Yes. It is more dangerous though if you are older.

yes,depends on the environment and how you treat the kid.\nThey will learn as they grow older. Be nice to them.

Statisics on what?  Drug use? Pregnancy? Deaths? Public school v. Private school?  Be more specific\n\nSuicide: Youth\nThe overall rate of suicide among youth has declined slowly since 1992 (Lubell, Swahn, Crosby, and Kegler 2004). However, rates remain unacceptably high. Adolescents and young adults often experience stress, confusion, and depression from situations occurring in their families, schools, and communities. Such feelings can overwhelm young \npeople and lead them to consider suicide as a “solution.” Few schools and communities have suicide prevention plans that include screening, referral, and crisis intervention programs for youth.\n\nSuicide is the third leading cause of death among young people ages 15 to 24. In 2001, 3,971 suicides were reported in this group (Anderson and Smith 2003). \nOf the total number of suicides among ages 15 to 24 in 2001, 86% (n=3,409) were male and 14% (n=562) were female (Anderson and Smith 2003). \nAmerican Indian and Alaskan Natives have the highest rate of suicide in the 15 to 24 age group (CDC 2004). \nIn 2001, firearms were used in 54% of youth suicides (Anderson and Smith 2003). \n\nSex: Teen Sex and Pregnancy\n\n\nRevised 9/1999\n\nSEXUAL ACTIVITY\n• Most very young teens have not had intercourse: 8 in 10 girls and 7 in 10 boys are sexually inexperienced at age 15. 1\n\n• The likelihood of teenagers' having intercourse increases steadily with age; however, about 1 in 5 young people do not have intercourse while teenagers.2 \n\n• Most young people begin having sex in their mid-to-late teens, about 8 years before they marry; more than half of 17-year-olds have had intercourse.3\n\n• While 93% of teenage women report that their first intercourse was voluntary, one-quarter of these young women report that it was unwanted.4 \n\n• The younger women are when they first have intercourse, the more likely they are to have had unwanted or nonvoluntary first sex--7 in 10 of those who had sex before age 13, for example.5 \n\n• Nearly two-thirds (64%) of sexually active 15-17-year-old women have partners who are within two years of their age; 29% have sexual partners who are 3-5 years older, and 7% have partners who are six or more years older.6 \n\n• Most sexually active young men have female partners close to their age: 76% of the partners of 19-year-old men are either 17 (33%) or 18 (43%); 13% are 16, and 11% are aged 13-15.7\n\n\n\nStart with that and see if that's what you need. :)

I don't think so.  If the parent is not neglecting the child or endangering the child in any way, it is not likely.  A child is taken away usually only when the child's physical or emotional well being is at risk.
