청소년 자살의 원인과 실태 및 해결 방안 연구

Abstract

Much of the decision in suicide is in the interpretation of events. Most minds, when healthy, do not construe any event as devastating enough to warrant suicide. Therefore, there are ways to prevent this worldwide problem. There are a variety of triggering events that may lead to suicidal behavior. The underlying factors of suicide are different compared with other causes of death by external factors. Suicide is different from natural death in that it is triggered by a different cause which leads to behavior of eventually taking one’s own life. In order to find out a way to prevent suicide, we need to come to a better understanding of the illness although it is hard to predict and not well understood. Some underlying factors which lead to suicide includes impulsive behavior, depression orlow self-esteem, and mental health unbalance. We will consider some of these factors as well as other characteristics in teenage suicide cases. Teenagers have clear motives in most cases of suicide. One reason for their impulsive suicide attempts is the belief that there is a better life waiting for them after death. They tend to depend upon the notion that there can be an escape from their present unhappiness. A teenage boy jumped to his death from the eighth floor of an apartment building. He had read a book that described a death leap as being "free from pain or uneasiness or fear; rather, it feels good." Often times, the main factors leading to suicide include depression, low self-esteem or feelings of helplessness, no hope for the future, and composite negative factors in the home, school, and society. These factors resulting from social or chemical imbalance are shown typically according to his condition. There must also be preparation for suicide. So it is important to find out any symptoms resulting from the home environment, friendships, and school life. These are ways to take preventative steps toward teenage suicide attempts. In order to prevent teenage suicide, the young must endeavor to improve their mental health. Society must also provide the opportunity for the young to have awide variety of activities to improve their creativity. This will help to improve the mental outlook of young teenagers going through a difficult phase in their lives. Also, ethical education must be taught to emphasize the value of life. Teenage suicide is very serious and tragic thing we see today. Life is the most valuable thing that we possess and it cannot be replaced by other things, so we have to take care of all forms of life, as well as humans. There are a variety of solutions that can be applied to this problem. But the causes can be identified and realities of the situation improved. The school, family, and society must be united to solve the problems of teenage suicide.
