      ab: In a world where infonnation, entertainment, and socialization are all available with just a couple clicks on a pocket-sized phone, teens are more connected than ever to all that the internet has to offer. To most, this access is a beneficial tool that is used in a positive way in daily life, but there is a concerning dark side of the internet that allows unfiltered, negative information to be placed in the hands of individuals of all ages. Due to this mostly uncensored access, there has been an explosion of websites dealing with suicide, which is a growing concern in today's youth. It is estimated that there are over 100,000 websites related to suicide that can be accessed through basic search engines. This paper explores the pros and cons of the internet with regard to adolescent suicide.
