Lightbulb Teenage Suicide Documentary - HELP WITH TITLE!!!

I need some serious help with a title for a 20-30min documentary on teenage suicide. Something catchy and intriguing. I need to have a title by the end of the week. That's the deadline. If anyone has any ideas they would really be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Jack

How about ' swingers ' or ' topping teens ' or ' Teenage suicide - a how to guide for goths ' or ' Teenage pretty and vulnerable? Oh goodie '

Dam - I am sure there are better gags there....

Tatll teach you for asking other people to do your homework...

But seriously - its a personal thing - its your film - you gotta choose it - must feel right to you.

Personally i hate clever titles for docs - i go for simple and descriptive.

I agree with Mark, just call it 'Teen Suicide' or something.

I was going to say call it 'Bridgend Byes', but that's just purile.

"Goodbye cruel world."

"Don't worry, It's not loaded."

"I've seen David Blain do this..."

"The quickest way out of Bridgend."

Oh, sorry, I've just noticed that I'm not taking this too seriously. Let's see...

"Growing pains."

"What's the point?"

"Down to zero."

"Teenage Lament."

"The End."

The best film/documentary about suicide has got to be "The Bridge" The Bridge (2006/I) which I suggest should be compulsory viewing to any aspiring filmmaker and certainly to anyone thinking about making a film about suicide.

Default The Hidden Way

Hey brother. I think the problem is with teen suicide or any suicide for that matter is that teens see it as the only way - or that they don't see any other way that they can put their life or their mind back into the "mouse wheel" so to speak. So having a lack of vision or awareness of this way back into normalcy you could call it:

"The Hidden Way" or "Hidden Way"

You got some balls going for a suicide docu - keep it up - let me know how it goes and what you decide on.

I've taken done every suggestion so far and I'm kind of liking the idea of "Not seeing any other way out of the situation". I can't really think of any way to put this into a good title though.

Thanks for your suggestions. Keep em coming!
