“…The relationship between suicidal attempts and aggressive disorders is not a matter of controversy either. A moderate correlation between aggression and suicidality among adolescents is indicated; however, the average effect size might be smaller or larger depending on methodological features of individual research reports [12][13][14]. Hartlej et al [15] point out that not only the level of aggression but also its type (reactive or proactive aggression) is of key importance in order to determine suicidal behaviors.…”

Suicidal behaviors in adolescents stem from complex processes deeply rooted in various spheres of life and functioning. The study was aimed at assessing the relationship between selected negative emotions, the quality of sleep, the level of perceived stress as well as stress coping strategies and suicidal ideation and attempts among high school students. The examined group consisted of adolescents aged 16–18 recruited by social-media groups in Poland. The study was based on a diagnostic survey with the application of CAWI method. The other research tools applied in the study included: Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale—Modified, Perceived Stress Scale-10, How do you cope?—Questionnaire, Athens Insomnia Scale as well as the authors’ own questionnaire on suicidal ideation and suicide attempts. Anxiety, depression, aggression and insomnia as well as a high level of stress were statistically more common in girls than in boys (p < 0.001). The high level of negative emotions and insomnia, in turn, increased the risk of suicidal ideation (OR = 3.59, 95% CI: 2.13–6.06 and OR = 2.35, 95% CI: 1.60–3.46), as well as suicide attempts (OR = 6.29, 95% CI: 2.93–14.80 and OR = 3.29, 95% CI: 2.07–5.35). Additionally, high level of stress was associated with more than twice larger odds of suicidal ideation (OR = 2.26, 95% CI: 1.13–4.63). Significantly higher prevalence of suicidal ideation (p = 0.017) and suicide attempts (p = 0.016) was observed in girls. A high level of negative emotions and stress accompanied by a low quality of sleep are factors predisposing people to suicidal ideation and attempted suicide.

“…Many young people cannot integrate properly into society, often accompanied by conflicts and personality problems, including increased aggressive behaviour [ 17 ]. Prevention of undesirable behaviour in children and adolescents is one of the necessities for achieving a certain quality of life in adulthood.…”

This paper evaluates the impact of the forest environment on aggressive manifestations in adolescents. A remedial educative programme was performed with 68 teenagers from institutions with substitute social care with diagnoses F 30.0 (affective disorders) and F 91.0 (family-related behavioural disorders), aged 12–16 years. Adolescents observed patterns of prosocial behaviour in forest animals (wolves, wild boars, deer, bees, ants, squirrels and birds), based on the fact that processes and interactions in nature are analogous to proceedings and bonds in human society. The methodology is based on qualitative and quantitative research. Projective tests (Rorschach Test, Hand Test, Thematic Apperception Test) were used as a diagnostic tool for aggressive manifestations before and after forest therapies based on Shinrin-yoku, wilderness therapy, observational learning and forest pedagogy. Probands underwent 16 therapies lasting for two hours each. The experimental intervention has a statistically significant effect on the decreased final values relating to psychopathology, irritability, restlessness, emotional instability, egocentrism, relativity, and negativism. Forest animals demonstrated to these adolescents ways of communication, cooperation, adaptability, and care for others, i.e., characteristics without which no community can work.
