Abstract

The numerous and multi-faceted risk factors for teenage suicide behavior make it a major public health concern. The purpose of this study is to compile the most recent findings on teenage suicide behavior, including its incidence, causes, and methods of prevention. Suicide is a major killer of young people across the world, and the analysis notes that rates are rising in certain areas. There is a complex interplay of psychological, environmental, and social variables that can put adolescents at risk for suicide thoughts and actions. Depression, anxiety, and drug misuse are important mental health issues that might increase the risk of psychological problems. Family discord, childhood trauma, and seeing or reading about suicide thoughts or actions in others are all examples of environmental influences. Bullying, social exclusion, and a dearth of social support systems are examples of social variables.
