Explanation of the Post
Approximately 50% of adolescent suicide attempters have made at least one previous attempt. The risk after an attempt may increase in school due to:
- Stigmatization after a suicide attempt.
- The rejection it can generate in the educational community.
- Silence for fear of a new suicidal behavior.
Knowing the risk and protective factors related to childhood and adolescence will allow us to carry out adequate prevention.

Adolescent and young adult individuals attend educational institutions which can play an essential role in detecting and preventing suicide.

Suicide is one of the leading causes of death among young people worldwide, and a previous history of self-harm is the most important predictor of later suicide. Suicide in children and adolescents is a serious public health problem that has seen a significant increase worldwide. It is the tenth leading cause of death worldwide and the second leading cause of death among 15-29 year olds.
There is a long list of risk factors, such as being male or having previous suicide attempts, precipitating factors, such as social exclusion or emotional conflict, and protective factors, such as a positive self-concept and family support. Increasing rates of mental disorders, including symptoms of anxiety and depression and, in some regions, suicide-related outcomes, have now been reported.
