2 NEW EXPRESSION "Be a man, a real man," his parents always told him. Joe's parents had been teenagers during the 60's, and they couldn't accept the fact that Joseph, at the age of 15, believed that he was gay. Joe felt guilty. The struggle inside himself was like "two people trying to survive as one." His parents seemed to ignore his struggle. The problem worsened. One side of him couldn't tolerate the other. He ended the struggle by committing suicide. Joe's suicide was one of 4,000 teen suicides in the United States last year. And the teen suicide rate has doubled in the past two years, according to a recent study by psycho­ logist Carl Tisher of the Ohio Children's Hospital. Approximately one thousand teen suicides are attempted each day. The experts see this alarming teen suicide rate as a clear symptom of serious new stress among teenagers. But the experts don't tell us where this new stress is coming from. Somehow, the life of a teenager in 1981 must be more stressful than it was in 1971. But how? That's what New Expression attempts to explain in the three investigations that appear on pages three and four. We hope they will help you analyze your own situation.
