LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) — The number of teen suicides in Nebraska doubled to 14 last year, so counselors want to redouble their prevention efforts.

Suicide is the second leading cause of death among youths ages 15-24, and the third leading cause for those 10-14 years old.

Experts say suicide is a complex issue, but it is preventable.

Don Belau co-chairs the Nebraska State Suicide Prevention Coalition. He says young people have different risk factors because they are susceptible to bullying.

Belau says social media sites that teens frequent can reinforce suicidal thinking and feelings of isolation.
