Background ,y also seeks to analyze the impact of School bullying and emotional response on suicide ideation and explore the Mesomeric effect of emotional response between school bullying and suicide ideation. Methods A cross-sectional survey was conducted, with a questionnaire being administered to 3013 vocational school medical students. Statistical analysis was done by descriptive statistics, Pearson correlation analysis, multiple linear regression, and structural equation model. Results There was a positive correlation between School bullying and suicidal ideation, as well as between emotional response and suicidal ideation. There was an indirect Mesomeric effect between emotional response to School bullying and suicidal thoughts. Conclusions Suicide ideation is common amongdiploma medical students. School bullying and emotional reaction are significant causes. The emotional reaction has an indirect Mesomeric effect on school bullying and suicide ideation. Therefore, the results of the study explored measures to reduce suicidal ideation and prevent school bullying. In addition, the results emphasized the important role of emotion control in emotional response.

[4] Previous surveys hardly show all the extent of the phenomenon, especially while talking about children and adolescents: a lack of data do not allow estimating a degree of spread, intensity and dynamics of suicidality among young people. Furthermore, suicide is a culturally sensitive phenomenon that is why, in order to understand it, it is necessary to begin with attitudes.…”

Background The World Health Organization has defined “adolescents” as persons in the 10 to 19-year age group. Suicidal behaviour is increasingly becoming a phenomenon associated with young people and an important public health issue. However, there are very few studies evaluating impact of young peoples' attitudes towards suicide and suicidal behaviour. Due to the high prevalence of this issue in our society, we took up this study to throw some light upon ways to increase awareness among the mothers regarding suicidal behaviour of adolescents. Methods Survey research design was adopted. We systematically collected needed information through administration of demographic performa and modified questionnaire to mothers of adolescents. The data was analysed using descriptive and inferential statistics. Results From the study it was evident that majority of the sample, 89 (89%) were having very poor awareness, 9(9%) had poor awareness and remaining 2 (2%) had moderate awareness regarding suicidal behaviour of adolescents. The Chi- square value is less than table value 0.05 level of significance which reveals that there is a significant association between the awareness of mothers and number of children. Conclusion Suicide is a major public health issue that warrants attention. It has been found to be one of the leading causes of death in adolescents and youth worldwide (American academy of Child and adolescent psychiatry, 2021, World Health Organization, 2021). Adolescence, being the initial founding years of life, is very critical. Any mental health issue in this phase of life should be taken seriously to prevent further progress in adulthood (Blakemore, 2019). India has the world’s largest adolescent population (approximately 253 million), and every 5th person in India is between 10 and 19 years of age (UNICEF INDIA, 2019).

“…According to a previous large-sample survey, the lifetime prevalence of suicidal ideation among pre-adolescent children was approximately 15.2%, with close to 17.0% of suicidal thoughts turning into suicide attempts [4]. Such a phenomenon necessitates immediate attention and calls for thorough investigation to mitigate its pervasive impact on this vulnerable population [5].…”

Background: Suicidal ideation is a pressing public health concern, particularly among adolescents. The objective of this study was to examine the prevalence of and factors associated with suicidal ideation in urban Chinese adolescents, addressing an important gap in current research. Methods:This study employed an online survey to examine the demographic characteristics and mental health status of secondary school students in Lianyungang City. The assessment included the use of the Patient Health Questionnaire-9 (PHQ-9) to evaluate suicidal ideation in adolescents. Additionally, anxiety symptoms were assessed using the seven-item Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD-7) questionnaire, while social support was measured using the Perceived Social Support Scale (PSSS). Results:Among 3443 adolescents, the prevalence of suicidal ideation was 22.1%, with a significantly higher proportion of suicidal ideation among female adolescents than males (P < 0.001). Binary regression analysis revealed that female sex (OR = 1.828, 95% CI: 1.500–2.229, P < 0.001), anxiety symptoms (OR = 9.417, 95% CI: 7.006–12.659, P < 0.001), troubled parental relationships (OR = 1.988, 95% CI: 1.587–2.492, P < 0.001), and spending more than 5 hours on electronic devices weekly (OR = 1.582, 95% CI: 1.238–2.022, P < 0.001) were identified as risk factors for suicidal ideation. Conversely, family support was found to be a protective factor against suicidal ideation (OR = 0.890, 95% CI: 0.862–0.920, P < 0.001). Furthermore, older age, higher annual household income, and spending less than 5 hours per week using electronic devices were linked to a lower severity of suicide ideation; whereas female sex and anxiety symptoms were associated with a higher severity of suicidal ideation (all P < 0.05). Conclusions: This study highlights high adolescent suicidal ideation rates and recommends gender-specific interventions, anxiety management, family support, and addressing excessive electronic device use for improvement in well-being.
