- During 2019, approximately one in five (18.8%) Texas HS youths seriously considered attempting suicide.
- One in six (15.7%) Texas HS students had made a suicide plan.
- One in 40 (2.%%) Texas HS students made a suicide attempt requiring medical treatment.
- 34% feeling sad or hopeless.
- 10% of Texas HS students have experienced sexual violence (1 out of 10).
