trends. but nce 2007 it looks like we've seen an increase. what kind of numberare we talking about? >> so fortunat still youth suicide, so from ages 10 to 19 is what we're talking about here, they are still rare. so we're talking about maybe one in 10,000 kids committing suicide. and the jority of those are boys, 80% are boys. but we have seen this significant increase inhe last decade. there is a doubling of suicides for girls, ages 15 to 19, and then the numbers for boys have gone up by about 30%. so numbers are on the rise.ut bhat is i think very interesting and i think that something that will surprisewe viers is that despite the ad as they areas now and having gone up over the last decade, we are still nott t he point where suicides were in thearly '90s. so in the early '90s more kids in this age group were committe

suicide. so we are bad, these numbers are not good, but it is not as bad as it as 20-plus years ago. >> which is interesting because i think automatically people might assume that social media is to blame to why young kids are taking their own life. but that is not necessarily the reason because we didn't have soy al media in the earl'90s. so what is theis reason for >> we don't know exactly. so there are several theories. e of the theories, when it comes tohy more girls are dying from suicide, is becse girls are using more lethal means. so girls tend to make suide attempts much more often than boys. boys, however, represent 80% of all suicides. and that is because they tend to use guns or lethal means. girls tend to use poisoning or overdosing. but in the last ten years there have been greater number of deaths in girls from hanging. which is a moreal leth mechanism or means. so that is probably accounting for some of this. the other thing is there arele peopho say social media must

have something to do with this in the last ten, 12 years. i do agree. i think social media is playing a role just from what i see in my practice. again, it doesn't explain why better ins still were the early 1990s when thedocial me didn't exist and there is access to information and kids will go on to commit suicide. s >> if i'm a parent watching, i'm terrified. because that is a parent -- any parent's worse nightmare. what do parents need to look out for and do. we have 30 seconds left. o >> yes, whenever you see something concerning personality changes you have to take it seriously. want to make sure you are not hesitant to seek out. there is no problem with saying we want you to talk to somebody and see what is going on and we're worried about you but you ned to ask the tough questions, in particular you want to ask your kid, you have been having any thoughts about hurtin yourself in, particular have you had anya thoughts ut suicide. i promise no study has shown that by asking that question are you creasing the likelihood of

your child making an attempt. if anything, you're decreasing it and then you're going to get a much better sense about what is going on with them and then you can absolutely speed your way to seeing somebodyho can offer some help. >> absolutely. so having that open line of communication with your child, knowing what is going on in their aife. >> this the answer to everything, right. >> dr. winer, thank you so much for joining us. >> my pleasure. >> back to you. major milestone at west point nearly 40 years after the first woman graduated from milita academy. this year the academy will graduate more african-american womencadets than it has in the 217-year history. nbc's morgan radford has their story. >> reporter: it is a class photo gone viral. 34 black female cad sanding on the stairs of west point academy. part of the mostve dirse class in the school's history. >> how does it feel to be a part of that htory? >>t is a very overwhelming feeling to see all of our , sisters us just standing there
