Youth suicide
Suicide may be linked to many risk factors, including: mental health problems; committing self-harm; pressure from school or university; being bullied; not have lots of friends; poor family environment; pressure to succeed by parents and family deaths; cultural attitudes to suicide; problems with boyfriends or girlfriends; drug abuse; poor physical health or family neglect. The more risk factors a person has or if they go on for a long time add up to a greater chance of suicide.
